Some benefits of homeschooling

Question:
Homeschool may not be for everyone, but it has been the greatest blessing on my (and my daughter's) life. I just wanted to share some of the joys and benefits I get in homeschooling her. Even if you don't homeschool, you can put many of these things into practice in your life. It will enrich your child's education and your own family unity and love. In the past year, my child has visited two state capitals, a hands on science museum (the OmniPlex in OKC), and has visited some historical and religious landmarks on the highways. We have seen many, many educational documentaries on our Sat. Television, which we discuss during and afterward, and she routinely plays educational games (not part of school time but just helping learning to be fun). She has social time at homeschool events and church each Sunday, not to mention her other penpals. She gets to see math in operation by being with me as I go shopping, and she sees how life operates outside the school bubble as she is with me in other things that I do. Our family time is grown so much more, as we are able to make school adjust to our family free time, instead of the other way around. Part of her exercise is to just go walking with me and enjoy nature, something that would be harder to schedule if she were attending a public school. This post is not intended to knock public school, even if that may be a result. I just wanted to tell others the joy I get in homeschooling my child.

Answer:
I attended public schools my entire life. I visited museums on a regular basis (hands-on science museum, hands-on children's museum, Smithsonian, art museums). I visited the state capitol and other state's capitols and the nation's capitol on a regular basis. I've been to a lot of the states in the continental United States, including Washington, California, Texas, Missouri, Massachusettes, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Those are the ones that I've spent a significant amount of time in, at least one week or more. My mom saw both my math, science, reading and writing in progress throughout my school career and added to that learning by introducing history (biographies and historical fiction) at a young age through day trips and exploration at the library. I've been to Gettysburg, Richmond, Manassas, DC, Philadephia, Boston, Williamsburg, and St. Louis. I've been to Richland,WA which was involved in nuclear experiments for WW II. I've also been to Eastern Europe and Germany, and Austria. A few of the countries I visited no longer exist. I've been to a lot of theatre, although I have only see one show while it was actually playing on Broadway. I've also been to Rockerfeller Center. I grew up watching historical documentaries, musical comedy and musical theatre. I took piano lessons, and earned college credit from the Trinity College of Music in England. Now, what was that point about benefits of homeschooling? I think I lost it somewhere.
