Where this all began

Our educating journey began back in 2009 when I was called into the teacher’s office and told that my daughter who had announced in class that she believed that Santa Claus can’t be real needed to be excluded from school and that it may be best if I took my other children out as well. The reason? The upset she had caused as children began questioning their parents on what seemed like just good old common sense from their classmate. While I respected each parent’s right to teach their children I knew that I didn’t want my children penalised for using their brains, deductive powers and developing a hunger for truth. My daughter funnily enough being the instigator of this drama hated being home educated but my boys thrived on it. When our littlest one came along I knew I wanted to home-educate him. Although at times plagued with the same doubts and mom guilt that even after 23 years as a parent still rears its head, I remain content on the path that God has set me on and try to enjoy the sweet and savoury lessons life brings.
