Homeschooling and diversity go hand in hand

by

The 7th Country Fair of Homeschooling opened yesterday with a bang. The theme was diversity and the posts submitted certainly shared what diversity was all about. I wanted to share my top 5 favorite posts from the Country Fair, though there are certainly a lot more posts worth checking out.

  1. When Tammy, of Just Enough, Nothing More, said “Homeschoolers are Weird“ I couldn’t help but giggle. I should put a banner up that reads “Weird, and proud of it!”.
  2. Tammy, of Life Without School shared a post called Unconditional Teaching that really made me stop and think.
  3. Owl, of Owl Flutter hit my heartstrings in her post on feminism and motherhood, in “Because We Treat Children Like Little Mental Patients“
  4. Melissa, of Read Mommy, Read! shared a post that really made me smile, “Diversity and Compassion“.
  5. RegularMom, of Like I Have Time For This, talked about the diversity all around her in her post Diversity.

Choosing just 5 to showcase was hard, as there are so many great ones lsited. I hope everyone takes the time to hop over and enjoy the Country Fair. :)

    [...] support and encouragement. And when you spend enough time together talking about life you see just how diverse the homeschooling world really is. You see through the stereotypes and see the real people out there choosing it for their [...]
