A Revisit to the Village
21st September 2021
If you would have told me two years ago that homeschooling numbers would jump from 2% to 11% in the matter of one school year, I would have laughed. I’ve been homeschooling and working with homeschoolers for over 2 decades. If I’ve learned anything about my fellow parents, it’s that most of you don’t want to or simply can’t take on educating your own children for whatever reason. I get it. Homeschooling is not for everyone. Not everyone is called to this lifestyle. But everyone can do it, as all of you parents figured out when your schools and childcare options shut down abruptly and left you in the dust to fend for yourselves. The village collapsed and decided to serve itself, not only at the peril of your child’s education, but also of his health and mental well-being. Apparently, we are not really all in this together.
