This Thanksgiving I am taking a moment to be thankful for our educational freedoms in this country. In all 50 states, it is legal for me to choose homeschooling. It is also legal for you to make a different educational choice for your children.
I am thankful for the exchange of ideas this freedom and diversity in education brings. In my own family, there are homeschooled, public, private, Waldorf, Montessori, and unschooled students. As we sit around the Thanksgiving table this week, we will all tell how successful our little scholars are in their various school environments. What I hope is that each parent is happy and content in their choices for their children, and appreciate the ability to make that choice.
We all have something to learn from one another. I have been a great resource to the children in my family that are not homeschooled. Likewise, I have learned a lot by scouring their school textbooks, and visiting their classrooms. As informed, open-minded, confident parents this reciprocation of support is welcomed.
Happy Thanksgiving! Learn in Freedom!
