School at home--how sweet it can be!

For our family, our "solemn responsibility to love and care for...our children..."( see The Family: A Proclamation to the World) is serious! It means Heavenly Father trusts us as parents to recognize our children's needs and see that they're met. And that means work!! But it means joy, too. We home school because for our family, that feels like the best way to help our children learn all they need to know, and become all they need to be, in order to be happy now and forever. Besides, the joy of watching them learn is one privilege we won't relinquish to just anyone!
