The Nerdy Homestead: The Nerdy Homestead

Anyone who really knows me, knows i always try my best to be an advocate for my children. Not because i think they are better than everyone else or because i think they deserve special attention over others. But because they deserve special attention from their parents. That is my job. And i take my job very seriously.

One thing you will see me share here is our journey into the unknown world of homeschooling/unschooling. I am giving it an attempt this summer with Jeremiah(homeschooling that is). I have absolutely no idea if it will work out. Maybe it will, maybe it will not. Who knows. But i have to try. I am very unhappy with the school system in our district and surrounding areas. Not because any one particular reason. I mean Jeremiah's teacher this year is A-mazing for sure. I love her! But i also dislike my child being gone for nearly 8 hours a day. I miss him.

I know there are so many ways to learn at home. We already do it daily without even knowing it. I have started to pay attention to those opportunities of home learning. And really try to harness them.

I hope that homeschooling is for us. But if not, well at the very least i will know i tried it, right?

I mean seriously, look back over your days. I just went back through my photos and could see a learning opportunity in so many of them. And none of which took place in a public school setting.
