When I was a kid, my mom got a a lot of flack for the way she homeschooled us. She almost unschooled us. She made us do math, but not much. We learned a lot of history because she talked about it constantly. But almost nothing was formal. The people who ragged on her were usually school-at-home types. Some of them even had a “school room,” complete with desks and chalkboards. We spent our time with a *profound* amount of boredom. We read encyclopedias for fun. @BowtiedWTRbear read every book in our library, which was vast. My younger brother tore apart computers. I played piano and bass guitar and day dreamed. We didn’t do nearly enough chores and an equal amount of “school work.” By all measures, we should have been abysmal failures. But I’m a nurse and my brothers are engineers and my sister works in accounting, all of us with impressive resumes in our fields. All of us are married with children and happy. Actually, all of us are very much practicing Christians and very conservative politically. We all have three or more kids. The ones who ragged on my mom have less stellar records. I think about the differences a lot. Our family was/is FAR from perfect. We’ve had some family drama and nothing comes easy, it seems. The difference, I think, is that my mom didn’t focus on academics. Her entire goal for us was to grow up to love Jesus. That’s it. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.” “And I I chose the path less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”
