Trying to be standard is not the goal in homeschooling. The dreamers, healers, builders, and inventors are never “standard”. Give your children the chance to discover their God-given talents and gifts.
Every time I see this text from an Apple ad from more than 20 years ago, I think of homeschoolers and the fantastic potential that they have:
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.”
Trying to Be “Standard” is Not the Goal in Homeschooling
Homeschooling provides untold opportunities to awaken their creativity and give them the chance to discover what their God-given gifts might be. But you, the parent, have to be brave enough to step away from a “standard” education. The dreamers, healers, builders, and inventors are never “standard”, and the sooner they could move away from “standard”, the sooner they were able to explore the universe, create things, connect ideas, and chase their dreams.
