There’s been nothing normal about 2020, education included. We’re in the middle of the Fall season and while many children are back in the classroom, there are more children than ever learning at home. Many have parents have chosen to have their children take part in their school’s distance learning program, however, there have been large numbers of families that have decided to go rogue and give homeschooling a try. Homeschooling was once thought of as something that only ultra-religious do, but as of 2018 there were as many as 1.69 million homeschoolers in the US. And believe it or not, that group is actually quite diverse. Now that we’ve entered the ‘Twilight Zone’ that is 2020, those numbers are even higher. In previous episodes we have casually mentioned homeschooling, but today we opened up and talked about our reasons for homeschooling, our experience as homeschoolers, and the pros and cons of homeschooling. If you’re curious or if you currently have a kid at home and are considering homeschooling yourself, then join us! We hope to clear some misconceptions about homeschooling and offer encouragement, support, and helpful information that will help you get started.

She’s your best friend. You tell her everything and she does the same. Life’s major and minor events are celebrated together. Your families are so close that they feel like your own. Suddenly, the phone goes silent and there’s no more knocks at the door - calls don’t get returned, texts go unanswered, invitations aren’t extended and when you finally do touch base, she readily tells you how busy she’s been. Then one day, you realize she’s gone from your life. She acts as if the friendship never even happened and you’re left wondering why. You’ve been ghosted. Or maybe, you’re the ghost.
