We have a tough decision to make today. It’s actually very easy, but it’s going to invite lots of questions and probably some resistance from family and friends.

The decision to NOT send our kids to kindergarten. We have to formally reject their places.

We’ve been avoiding it since we decided to not let the state educate our kids, before they were even born, but now this decision will expose our unconventional ways.

Anyone have any advice?

Good on you for deciding to homeschool. In our area homeschooling is pretty common, so nobody really looks down on it. You may get some eye rolling or snide remarks, but dont let that dissuade you. You are doing what you think is best for your kids, and thats all that matters.

Kindergarten is easy homeschooling

Rip the bandaid off. The questions will always be asked. The minds of your children are at stake. That's more important than any awkwardness.

We homeschool our kids: don’t make a big deal about it. “We are taking it year by year and giving it a shot this year, next year might be different” Easy sell if you don’t make it a big thing

Stay strong in your decision. Following your own compass while everyone else is telling you is wrong can be hard but it is the way.

My advice is to cut anyone out of your life who criticizes that decision. It’s actually a great litmus test. Letting go of those people just makes room for better ones. We only have so much time, and we can't waste it on people who don't share our basic values. Unschooling and a no-vaccine policy...

How to be wild. I think and will show to you that, the true about the social setup, deserves a eagle overview. What kind of citizen we want to create ? The right to choose must be based in facts ! Look around ! Slaves and more slaves! We do not create slaves in our family ! Each son and daughter ho...

Just raising kids that are undeniably switched on and stoked about life will go a long way. When your kids aren’t put into a box every day they will willingly love learning new things and naturally retain new info and experience. My wife and I are the black sheep of both of our families but gues...

Yay! good for you. Personally I would listen to family and friends' concerns and engage with them in good faith ... and then change the subject. There are so many solid arguments for homeschooling that don't actually sound particularly radical: we'll save time/energy; this will allow the kids to go ...

I unschooled my kids who are now in their 30’s. Best decision ever! My in-laws had lots of interventions with me 🤣 You’re doing the right thing 🧡.
