I have written this post twice and have twice abandoned each draft. Beginning to write about the process of beginning homeschooling has been analogous to finally making the decision to homeschool! Being that the subject is one on which almost everyone has an (often strong) opinion, I would like this space to be relatively free of the doubt and anxiety that can plague those of us charting this course, while also avoiding being dully circumspect. How does one practice good self-preservation techniques, while also presenting an authentic account of one’s reality? Sometimes I think perhaps I’m planning my own education as much as theirs.
The story of how we have arrived at this place in their education is not particularly interesting or unique. So where do we begin?
Let’s start fresh, with day one, and see how things take shape. This will be our homeschooling diary. Thank you for joining us ❤
