I completely agree with you that one of the worst things about this whole situation is the destruction of the social aspect of human beings. We are SOCIAL beings, we need to be in communities among many other individuals of so many different backgrounds. Everything in the media before the whole situation started to ramp up has been trying to destroy our social interactions. The focus on violence, fear, hate and other negativity has damaging effects on people and often leads to limiting their interactions with other people.

We too made the decision, before our son was born, that homeschooling was the thing we will be doing. We want to figure out a way to do a bit of a hybrid scenario and send him to school for a year or two if possible, to gain some friends and learn how to socially interact as a group instead of just with adults, and then finish his education at home. There are nuances to that and it may not end up happening but we will end up figuring it out.

Education is absolutely not cookie cutter. The public school systems across the world try to force these beautiful, vibrant minds into a very bland and uniform mold that has very little leeway. I don't know if I would fault the teachers, they chose to go into education with the best of intentions but most of them just end up losing the spark and conform to what the system dedicates they should teach the children.

Appreciate your post, I look forward to seeing more of them!

@cmplxty - Thank you for the engaging comment. Sorry that it has taken me so long to write you back. Life has been a bit crazy lately.

I think we are on the same. As humans, we need other people and as parents, we need to make decisions that are in the best interest of our kiddos.

I would like to hear more about how your hybrid model plays out.

Thanks for stopping by!
