A little about me. I’m a former high school ELA te A little about me. I’m a former high school ELA teacher with an M. Ed. and mom to 4 (multiple ND kids and ND myself).I’m an activist, feminist, and atheist. My family is pro-science, pro-choice, pro-human rights. We believe in climate change, dinosaurs and evolution. Our kids play competitive sports and participate in countless activities outside of our home. The only thing they are sheltered from is violent video games, social media, toxic peer culture and active shooter drills. They score multiple grade levels ahead of their peers on national standardized tests. They love learning, exploring, and reading. They are social AF and have more emotional intelligence than most adults in this country.If you have been on the fence about homeschooling, I’m happy to be the one to push you off the edge 🙌🏻 modern homeschooling is nothing like the stereotypes floating around in your head ✌🏻
