What are some lifestyle choices or decisions you’ve made that most people would consider “unconventional”? — taking a different path, coloring outside the lines, etc. If those choices are in hindsight, how do you think about them now?

Most unconventional lifestyle choice? Homeschooling our 4 kids. 10 years in now, and best family decision we ever made. Stress level at home vanished. Great educational outcomes for kids.https://www.epsilontheory.com/clever-hans/
I’m surprised more people haven’t mentioned homeschooling. Maybe I don’t know enough homeschoolers (yet). Thanks for the link. Especially enjoyed this line:pic.twitter.com/WrZbPWn13T

I just can’t imagine how I would do that. Kudos.

What’s stopping you? (Genuinely curious.) Logistics? Or something else?

I think that's because (as it mentions) it's simply impossible for most people. Low denominator.

We’ve got 3 and planning to homeschool, though oldest is only 3 so let me update you in 5 years... we also live in a small space, < 700sq ft, while not being “minimalists”

Re the aforementioned comment: my worry is their socialization in a system of mass education. Some of the shit my kids come with is truly horrifying. And they go to arguably one of the best districts in Westchester.

Yeah unschooling is probably my answer.

Homeschooling requires significant trade off on social life for parents if proper support circle is not in place. I guess that makes it harder for more parents to opt this route to kid's education.
