I’m so excited for this series. I learned so much about education during the pandemic and homeschooling my 3 kids last year. we are now trying a private school that we like so far. I cannot believe how different my kids feel about school than they did I’m public school. I’m the daughter of a wonderful public educator and sister to 3 siblings who also taught in public education. In a million years I would not have believed that I would take my kids out of our local district to give them something better. My oldest was in third grade when he said to me, “Mom, it feels like my teacher doesn’t like boys.” I brushed it off at the time and have since acknowledged how I admittedly passed over that way too quickly. He really felt it, the agenda. At that time “Me Too” was full storm. He was 9. One dimensional conversations have these kids bored as hell and I know I am lucky I could choose between continuing to homeschool or send my kids to private. I will say though, if you can homeschool and that’s your only financial option, or your preferred option….do it! There are so many ways to find support. Give back your kids the gift of wonder, reading great books and open discussion! Thanks Bari. Your timing is always spot on and Happy New Year to you!
