You left institutional school for freedom and flexibility. So why are you now sitting in a mandatory parent meeting debating the co-op's tardy policy? At some point, the thing that helps you starts to own you.
You've spent 47 hours reading reviews, joined 12 Facebook groups, and built a spreadsheet with pivot tables. Meanwhile, your kid learned more helping Dad fix the lawnmower. The best curriculum is the one you'll actually open on a Tuesday.
A teaching degree prepares you to manage a classroom of 30. It does not make you more qualified than the person who has known their child since birth to teach that child to read.
When your kid leaves the public school system, the district loses over $15,000 in per-pupil funding. Multiply that by millions of homeschoolers and suddenly the hostility toward homeschooling starts to make a lot more financial sense.
