More and more I have been meeting and finding myself talking to moms who are considering or have even already started home schooling. At even just our monthly Coffee + Community we may have 5-8 homeschooling moms who seem to collaborate, have fun scheduled playgroups and utilize similar curriculum programs. Moms of all walks of life are choosing to have the flexibility, the quality time, the control, the protection, whatever it may be that has mamas forgoing standard school options. My oldest is approaching kindergarten and the realization that there are other options has absolutely crossed my mind. Public school, private school, and even home schooling are all worth exploring when it comes to the shaping of our children.
