I home schooled my two oldest daughters from age 6 to 10. The reason for homeschooling them at the time was, because we traveled to Zambia and back to South - Africa a view times during the year.

I enjoyed homeschooling my children very much. I learned a lot in my journey in teaching them the alphabet and helping them to read and wright and see them developed.

I have a lot of respect for teachers after I stepped into their shoes for just a view years.
