I’ve homeschooled alongside my three kids for the past sixteen years, since my oldest became a preschool dropout. (He’s now a college graduate.) Once upon a time I was an elementary school teacher, but my kids slowly beat the schoolteacher out of me, showing me that an adult-driven education isn’t the best way for kids to learn. Instead, I’ve come to value child-led, passion-driven, project-based learning, gently encouraged by enthusiastic adults.
