As homeschoolers, unburdened by the very burdensome school attendance policies, kids have opportunities to spend more time with their parents, get more sleep, spend more time pursuing their own interests, do internships, volunteer work, play at playgrounds when they aren't crowded, schedule doctor's appointments early in the day, take vacations in the off season, visit museums when they aren't packed, see their Dad (who works an odd shift) during the week, go to the bathroom without asking permission, learn at their own pace, be sick without getting behind, spend longer on topics that interest them, wear whatever clothes they want (no uniforms!), opt out of selling candy and cookie dough for fundraisers, go to work with mom ...the list goes on and on and on. The opportunities are endless.
