When we first began homeschooling, we didn’t know any local families who homeschooled their children. All of our neighbors, friends, and the families at church sent their kids to public school. And, although we wholeheartedly chose this educational path for our kids, it was difficult to be that family—the different ones, the rebels, the homeschoolers. That’s why being part of a supportive homeschooling community is beneficial.
