The secret is out: I was homeschooled for 12 glorious years and it was well worth it. Here is the message I gave to homeschool families gathered at the State Capitol a few days ago. Watch it and let me know what you think!
Yes, I was homeschooled. Some of you will say “ah hah! Now we know what is wrong with her! She was homeschooled!!!” You’re funny. Believe me, I’ve heard it all. Everything from, “Wait, are you Amish?? Were you the Valedictorian of your class? How big was your basketball team? Did you have any friends?? Who was your favorite teacher!!” All jesting aside, I get the jokes: homeschooling is an anomaly and in a world that focuses on individuals desperate to fit in, it feels like a very strange road to choose to stand out. Oh but what a beautiful road it is for those who are called to take it.

There are so many good men and women who serve as Teachers, Administrators, School Board Members, and educational advocates around the state.
In this hour of growing turmoil in the education arena, as more and more parents are realizing what is not being taught in the classroom, seeing first hand the agendas that are being advocated, and speaking up until they are horse to try and get things changed, we cannot overlook the men and women who are doing good on the inside. Though they could be few in comparison to those who have used the system, we must acknowledge the heroes who have stood in the gap and pushed back on this growing monstrosity of Progressive agenda in our education systems. |
