So You’re Thinking of Homeschooling: An Afternoon Conversation and Information Session

In these strange times, homeschooling is being considered by more and more people. Maybe you’ve thought of it before. Or maybe this is the first time you’re considering it. What is it like? How does it work? Can I do it?
Homeschooling brings up different images for different people. Maybe it’s idyllic picnics while reading classic literature aloud. Maybe it’s lively family discussions, punctuated by laughter and rhetoric. Maybe it’s still being in your pajamas at two in the afternoon, learning about fractions by baking cookies. Maybe it’s cajoling your kid (again) to diagram a sentence or them struggling to understand that algebra concept you haven’t used and forgot 15 years ago.

Maybe it’s a lot of pressure.

Whatever your preconceived notions or fears of homeschooling, the truths and realities can be very different. Well, except the part about doing work in your pajamas – that part is very true.
The truth is there are many ways to homeschool – as many ways as there are homeschool families. There are tools, and tricks, and help along the way. The trick is finding the tools that work for you.
