"Hannah: I was homeschooled until the second grade by my mom, and I never thought I would homeschool our daughter, but I'm happy it turned out this way. Our oldest was months old during the pandemic, and as we started looking at remote work, I enjoyed spending a lot of time together under the same roof. I eventually stopped working freelance and became a full-time mom."
"Hannah: We homeschool our daughter through a local charter school that offers a hybrid schedule. Most of her learning time is in the living room, with a few hours a week in a classroom near home. She's in class with other kids on Monday afternoons and Wednesday mornings for two and a half hours. She takes two classes a day in the classroom and has five core classes that I teach her at home."
"Marcus: Not to be biased, but we knew our daughter was bright for her age. She's already reading a bit, which is ahead of the norm for her age. We worried that if we put her in kindergarten at one of the local public schools, she'd still be learning letter sounds. With homeschooling, you can be more targeted in your teaching approach and more easily relate what you learn in a book to family life and the real world."
Parents decided to homeschool their daughter based on internal family considerations and a desire to shape their parenting approach. One parent had been homeschooled through second grade and later became a full-time caregiver after pandemic-era remote-work opportunities. The child attends a hybrid charter program that places most learning at home with scheduled classroom sessions for art, storytelling, and STEAM. Core subjects such as English, math, science, and history are taught at home between breakfast and lunch. Homeschooling enables more personalized, targeted teaching and easier connection of lessons to everyday family life. The daily routine begins at 7 a.m.
