I believed Andrew's story was going to be part of a wider feature on homeschooling — which may still be coming. Homeschoolers across Australia were interviewed recently, and I was only one of them.

They are adults who are living their passions and dreams in an uninhibited way because they were never molded or shaped to be anything but who they are. They were never forced to memorize facts they had no interest in only to regurgitate on a test. <br />They had Freedom to learn as they lived and live as they learned. They are children who were respected and honored and valued. Their opinions were very important and we, their parents partnered with them to help them achieve their hopes and dreams. They made their decisions of what was important to THEM. Just like we do as adults. The best part is your child is not only your friend growing up~ but remains a very close friend as an adult to the parents who lovingly respected them.<br />Our adult children have thriving careers, doing what they love and making a good living from it. They volunteer in their community and are still passionate about learning.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
