We were at Costco today where we met a mom and her two young kids. We were chatting about ages, etc. when she asked Molly if she goes to school. We get this several times a day so I knew what was about to happen. Molly said, "Yes, I'm homeschooled". The woman lit up and said, "I want to homeschool!" We talked about it while the kids ran up and down the peanut butter aisle (much to the delight of the other customers, I'm sure).
There are so many parents who see that the system that is in place doesn't necessarily work for their child. There is not a day that goes by where I don't meet someone who is either homeschooling already or wishes to. I cannot express enough how rewarding it is for me, much less Molly! It may not be the easier route, but it is so exciting to be there to witness her learning. There are tremendous resources out there to help with any issue or need along the way and she is getting so much more than she would be able to get in a traditional school setting. I wouldn't trade one day of this...even the worst day is better than anything else I would be doing instead.
