i never thought i was the homeschooling sort of mother. i had the preconceived idea that these families were hippies or strictly religious or super confident teachers. never in my wildest dreams did i think i would want to go down this path or that i was even capable. i was more than happy to drop the boys off each day and collect them in the afternoon. i enjoyed the peace of the house when i was only working part time and even coped with the craziness when working full time.
the last 12 months have changed me alot.
not only have i questioned everything we did and are doing but i question who the experts are and their wisdom just doesn't make sense anymore.
i tell my friends i have become anti-establishment. it all makes sense as i re-read the wisdom of menopause again...
for our family, the transition from a private christian school to distance education to homeschooling only seems radical if you are not living our life. i don't wear sneakers with my skirts and my armpits are (mostly) hair free...but winter is coming, so i make no promises...
hopefully this blog will show others that homeschooling is an amazing option for any family who cares about what their kids are learning and wanting to think outside normal expectations....
ps...i am struggling with whether to remain anonymous or not. time will tell but for now i am protecting my family's privacy.
there will be lots more to be said here about homeschooling though....
