My parents wanted to homeschool me 40 years ago, but circumstances prevented that path.
They always encouraged a
home learning environment that had little to do with school. My father, especially, put my education in my hands and taught me to question the arbitrary authority of the school system.
I didn’t learn about their homeschooling intentions until I announced that we were going to homeschool our sons. In their quiet, unschooling ways, they gave me the space to imagine a more free future for my children.
We don’t get to heal everything in one lifetime, but we do get to set the course for future healing.
