Once upon a time, all children were homeschooled. They were not sent away from home each day to a place just for children but lived, learned, worked, and played in the real world, alongside adults and other children of all ages.

About This Quote

When I was a child, our family was homeschooled. We were not sent away from home each day to a place just for children but lived, learned, worked, and played in the real world, alongside adults and other children of all ages. Homeschooling allows parents to spend time with their children while they are growing up. They get to know their children’s interests, make sure their children are learning what is important to them by giving them time to work on projects and tasks that are meaningful to them. It gives the parents the chance to be hands-on in their child’s education.
