Home Education or School at Home?

When we began our journey of teaching our children, we bought little desks at a yard sale. Then we acquired textbooks and taped the alphabet to the walls around our school room. Later we moved to the kitchen table, and finally we discovered education is not recreating a classroom in our home and teaching our sons as a group, but tutoring each child as an individual with unique abilities and tailoring their education to each of them.
