This Says it Well (click here for comic)
I thought that was cute considering all the legislative issues going on with homeschooling. I saw where NBC reported that homeschooling was on the rise due to vaccine requirements in public schools. Pardon me, but there are LOTS of reasons that homeschooling is on the rise. It isn't this radical movement led by cults...it is merely a choice to educate in an environment that is actually controlled and individually tailored according to a child's needs. Our reasons for homeschooling are simple, we want our children to develop a relationship with the Lord and become grounded in their faith before going out and being a light in darkness. Not to mention, I love every minute of seeing them grasp new concepts and being their teacher. It is a brave move to tell the world that you are a homeschooler, in a world that expects you to follow the path they have chosen. And as Ralph Waldo Emerson says, "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Thank you to the "seasoned" homeschoolers who have paved the way for us and continue to fight for the rights for us to see to it we are able to educate our children in this way. We are continuing in your footsteps and leaving a path of our own!
