It seems as though the independent homeschooler has become an
endangered species; soon to be as extinct as the Dodo bird.
I’m going out on a limb by sharing now, because I do not want to
offend anyone who has joined up with the charter school program.
I have many friends who are no longer on the same homeschool journey as I am, and I treasure their friendships, yet I feel like I need to take a stand on this issue.
Please, please know my heart….it is to inform so that families can
know the full implications of their decisions. There are hardly any voices left to tell the story of the early homeschool movement. If I don’t speak up who will tell the story?
It seems as though folks everywhere are singing the praises of the charter schools. I feel as though I need to share some of my homeschool journey and my reason for homeschooling independently from the government.
My DH and I went to our first homeschooling meeting in 1982!!!!!! That was many years ago. I’m dating myself, I know. We heard about homeschooling on the radio and at that time it was really a radical thing to do, it was still in the growing and learning stages although it would soon become an option for families.
