Years ago, when my husband, David, and I began homeschooling our two young children, fellow homeschooling families were few and far between. It was almost unheard of in our area; everyone we knew sent their kids to public, private, or parochial schools. So, it was a true leap of faith when we announced our plan to homeschool our kindergartner and preschooler.
Enter the naysayers. Family, friends, and neighbors appeared puzzled at our news. They didn’t understand. They had doubts and questions. It was uncomfortable and stressful and had me doubting our decision. We needed confidence, and we found it in Pennsylvania Homeschoolers, an organization that has since closed but at the time offered us guidance and support.
