Dear reader,
Ever since my first child, now 11, was a baby, I have been interested in homeschooling. By now, I have 3 daughters being educated at home. Today, I don’t want to call it homeschooling anymore because what we do is not school. It is definitely education but not school.
Home as the first school
It is a fact that the most important school is the home, whether or not we were homeschooled. I was a hungry learner who was extremely involved in exceeding expectations and big achievements, but this is something my father taught me, and he was a teacher but not my teacher. He also inspired my love for poetry and literature, and today, I’m a poet and writer.
Similarly, when children are not doing well in school, it might be that they’re not doing good at home. Home is the first school, and parent figures our first teachers.
