Why am I educating my daughter at home? The short answer:
Because I want her educated rather than "schooled" into being a complacent, mindless little follower of mandates from government or any other authority.
Because I want her to have a better and more personalized academic education than she'd get in public or private school.
Because I want her to be socialized in a positive way, rather than in an environment that is eerily familiar to anyone who has read Lord of the Flies.
Because she's one of my favorite people in the world, and I enjoy spending time with her.
