Documenting is great, I'm glad more people are doing it :) Back when I started blogging about homeschooling it was initially purely for records for moderation because I almost never remembered to keep notes but was pretty good at remembering to blog, and then realised that my family and friends were actually really into it because they had no idea what we actually did (they did the usual thing assuming that "homeschooling" == "school at home"). Then more people started reading it x_x
There's already a massive plethora of hows and whys out there so I guess people who were curious and/or seriously considering it for their own families wanted to know what it looked like as well, so the more people just writing about their lives the better as then everyone will have someone to resonate with :D
I never even thought about blogging to document our homeschool journey...
!ENGAGE 15
ENGAGEtokens.My dad was an elementary art teacher, so I always had a great appreciation for the public education system. I thrived in it, breezing through a full-ride academic scholarship, thanks to the terrific mentorship I had throughout my school years.
Yeah, and I understand homeschooling has always been a viable option, but honestly, I wanted the free childcare that the public education provided for us. This year, I'm expanding my outlook on life, and taking greater responsibility for giving the kids a hands-on learning experience. It's an easy choice at this time, since that notion of "free childcare" is completely gone this year, as their school is currently 100% virtual.
