Step 1: I'm not sending my 5 year old to in-person school this year. Step 2: Distance-learning is gonna be a mess; we'll do it ourselves this year. Step 3: Gotta read up on homeschooling strategies and methods **Quiet epiphany**:We're probably never sending our girls to school.

Not disagreeing, but if you were homeschooled how do you know?

I went to public school for three months when I was fourteen and I was really shocked. I loved learning and all my interactions with formal schooling felt like active attempts to destroy my love of learning

(I was in public school until the 4th grade, and this was absolutely what I found, too. Most of my teachers hated me)

I lived overseas as a child, and was homeschooled for all of it. Was stateside in time for public high school, and it was shockingly awful. The educational culture shock was worse than what was felt from the actual move. Thankfully, my love of learning survived, but ugh.
