Why Did You Homeschool?
MP3 Interview with Harriet Yoder of Lamp Post Homeschool
Store
Recently I chatted about various aspects of homeschooling with
interviewer Rob Vail of
This Side of the Country Radio
Ministry. These mp3 audio files should open automatically.
Transcript
Rob:
Alright, we're pleased to have with us today, Harriet
Yoder. Harriet is the co-founder of Lamp Post Homeschool Store and she's also a
graduate of the University of Houston with an MBA and a Bachelor's of
Administration. Harriet, welcome!
Harriet:
Thank you. Good to be here.
Rob:
One of the things we want to talk about today is
homeschooling. I want to ask you some specifics, but you're a veteran of
homeschooling, over twenty years. Why did you decide to get into homeschooling?
Harriet:
We were young parents and new Christians back in the
early 80s. I was doing a lot of reading in the Bible about parental
responsibility, motherhood, children. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell the
kings to train the children. It is a mandate for parents to train their
children. The only ones the kings trained were their own children and prisoners
like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednago. I researched it and came to the
conclusion that, in addition to how the public schools were at the time and
still are, it wasn't a good place for my children to be. It wasn't where God
wanted them to be. I knew in my heart that God was calling us to homeschool.
Rob:
You've got what? One or two kids?
Harriet:
Nine!
Rob:
You've got nine kids. So you know what you are talking
about.
Harriet:
Yes, until they go to college, they've never have been
in public school, except three of them played sports with the public school for
a short time.
