Wow. I LOVE this. So much. The imagination, determination and self-direction of the whole family collectively and collaboratively learning together and educating one another. Utterly beautiful Brad. So often I read about homeschooling as a top down approach, we (the adults) educate them (the kids), we drive the schedule and methods of learning. If we come alongside our children and open ourselves up to their wisdom, the whole family grows, in connection, love & learning. This is the true gift of homeschooling ❤️
I don’t know what this says about us, but during the covid lockdown my housemates and I (all late 20s, male) decided to take turns lecturing each other on any topic of our choice, complete with ppt slides and everything. IIRC, the topics were: the history of the online phenomenon of trick shots (beginning with the mounted archery and the Parthian shot of 50AD); Spitfire airplanes (no exaggeration, this one went on for two hours and I was losing the will to live by the end); and the Rothschild family (my choice, because their surname is so similar to mine but I knew next to nothing about them).
It was super fun and I 100% understand why your kids are so into it. Amazing stuff.

Truly inspiring comment and perfectly touching the very heart of the decision to homeschool.

Spitfires are definitely worth 2 hours!
