Selections from Carnival of Homeschooling: week 2

There are a ton of good posts in the second Carnival of Homeschooling. The following are a few of the ones I really enjoyed.

The theme for this carnival was "Why we homeschool." There were a number of interesting answers. The Joyful Homeschool said that they initially started so the children could spend time with their father between the times he was on cruises. Marsha echoed some similar thoughts. Three in the Nest has a post about a change for one mother who went from pitying homeschooled children, to embracing homeschooling. At H. Harmony Homeschool Dawn has a long list of good reasons for homeschooling. Anne, of PalmTree Pundit, shares some additional reasons she found for homeschooling. In the Common Room Headmistress started homeschooling after her eldest child suffered in kindergarten.

Laurie Bluedorn shared her experience with homeschool burnout and gave some good suggestions.

True Blue Semi-Crunchy Mama explained about unschooling. And Family Centered Living reviewed the Classical Education approach. Home on the Hill has a post from a homeschool graduate who shares her journey to using the Charlotte Mason approach

I enjoyed the carnival. If you haven't checked it out yet, give it a gander.
