Two is better than one

Homeschooling has it's challenges, and I guess the more hands you can find to help the better.  I'm so grateful that my job is shared.  Pairing up works!  Well at least for us it does.  Granted there are pros and cons, but in my mind the pros far outweigh the cons.  We get to share ideas, discuss each child from a different perspectives, the workload is shared, and we get some time off, the children get to experience different teaching styles....(which could be confusing at first) but it's good exposure for them.  The socialisation is also beneficial, as the children then get to spend time with each other (developing a strong bond), it's not just one mom with her children.
The biggest challenge is making sure we spend enough time communicating with each other about what we are teaching and how each child is progressing.  At this point in time, I am just grateful for the opportunity to homeschool my children together with other children.
