I home school Alyx and Mia. I don’t judge those who don’t. It is not easy, especially now that we’re both working more hours than we’ve ever worked before, but then nothing about life is. There are multiple and assundry reasons why I home school them and I’ve questioned my thought process and the wisdom of my choices many times over the years, as every home schooling parent does from time to time. But every time I ask the questions I find myself right back where I am and where we are. While this video doesn’t talk about home schooling in particular, it does center around a frustration with the education system and one-size-fits-a-few processes of public education. Give it a look. Its entertaining, if nothing else.
