I homeschool because it seemed to me that it was like breastfeeding: Of course it’s the best thing to do for the kids, it’s just difficult. So I told myself that even though I had no idea what I was doing, it’s clear to me that even starting with no idea what I’m doing is better than putting the kids in school.

There are a lot of ideas we have about school that, it turns out, are totally wrong, and learning these things gave me the strength to take my kids out of school.
