A reminder that you don't have to prove that your
A reminder that you don't have to prove that your kids are doing better than school kids, just because you chose to homeschool. 
If you're like me, you chose this path because you didn't want what school had to offer. You wanted them to have more childhood, less pressure, less stress, to love learning, and to learn at their own pace.
Sometimes people feel like their homeschooled kids must be super impressive in order to justify the choice to do something different. To prove that homeschooling 'works'.
But that goes against our goals! We aren't comparing to school. We have a different outcome in mind. We can do our own thing, and we don't have to judge it against something we don't want anyway ❤
