Thank you all for doing this show and bringing these points to light for folks who are not happy with the Public education system and are looking at homeschooling. I hope this helps families find the confidence to take the step out of the system.
Thank you so much for this. Had a few aha moments - I have been unschooling a long time now, and only my eldest ever attended school briefly, and that was after a spell of unschooling, and my younger four have never been to school. Yet after all this time, and despite being thoroughly invested in the journey, I still have some deschooling to do myself. I still carry beliefs or concerns I thought I had left behind long ago - and I definitely need to start giving myself permission to act more like my kids do! I am a homemaker and full time with my kids, obviously, and I realise that I constantly equate my own worth to how much I “get done”, in a culture of “get it all done”…. Which is terrible for building relationships according to their own schedule and in an unhurried way, yet that is the whole point. I struggle with constant chores etc and am always putting off reading that book or doing that project as I first need to “get the work done”. I can see how much I need to address this, for the good of my whole family, and it is something for me to work on in earnest! Love and light 💖
Love your aha moments! And yes, the whole culture of "get it all done" is definitely worth examining. Not only exhausting but, as you've noticed, also hard on relationships. 💖

You're welcome! It's amazing to even realize that it's a choice, isn't it? 😀
