On Homeschooling
“Our children are not a work in progress, we are not a work in progress, we are a life in process.”
— Dr. Diana Hill, Practicing Psychological Flexibility and ACT
"Repeat after me: we are powerless to produce academic results in our kids. Let that thought sit here for a moment on the page. Powerless. We can provide resources and conditions for learning to take place, but we don't live in our children's heads. They do the work of learning and growing—we're their witnesses, not their control panels."
— Julie Bogart, The Brave Learner
Thoughts on Homeschooling
“We start from the assumption that kids have brains in their heads and want their lives to work and that, with some support, they will figure out what to do.”
—William Stixrud & Ned Johnson, The Self-Driven Child
“At the same time as something wonderful is happening, some connection is being made in my life, we are also in the process of dying, That is every moment.”
– Ross Gay, The Book of Delights
Typical Homeschool Days
“Life is amazing. And then it is awful. And then it is amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.”
– L.R. Knost
