I Am A Self-Directed Homeschooling Parent

I value relationships over academics,
character over curriculum,
and flexibility over lesson plans.

I recognize that learning takes place better
when there's a personally compelling need or desire
for the information or skill,
when it is unhurried and unpressured.

I know I cannot predict
which knowledge and skills
my children will need
in order to become successful adults.

So I choose to focus on
preserving their love of learning,
helping them figure out how to ask the right questions,
and providing them with the resources they need
in order to learn what they need or want to learn.

I am a guide, a mentor, a cheerleader, a facilitator,
a resource provider and a fellow student of life.

I am a self-directed homeschooling parent.
