So, some thoughts about education. I think when covid hit many considered educating their children at home. It was interesting to see the shift in thought of many. I was interested in this right when we started our family but then drifted away from the idea. Later on, maybe 10-11 years ago we visited with Ben and Kristi McCallister a lot about educating our children full time at home. They led us to some great books and they had some wonderful ideas. We implemented some and eventually landed where we are today. I’m so grateful they were part of our journey! We would let our children choose if they wanted the public school system or to be educated at home. Eventually they all ended up at home. It’s been a wonderful ride.
I came across this podcast yesterday. Joel Salatin is one of our mentors for farming and he interviews a lady that shares many of our same feelings about education. Anyways, if you’ve dabbled in the idea of educating full-time at home but have some fears about it, this may be of benefit to you. We have seen many positives from choosing to educate at home instead of the public school system. Enjoy!
PS. It is extremely interesting that the 10th plank of the Communist Manifesto is free public education for all. Very interesting as we contemplate the socialist/communist ideas that are now being embraced by the masses.
