Not Your Typical Georgia Homeschooler
In the heart of the Bible Belt, here we are. One Christopagan married to one deist, raising two kids (so far) in an off the beaten path sort of way. Suburbia doesn’t have to oppress you if you don’t let it.
We’re Kash (the aforementioned Christopagan, a slasher, a reader, a former teenage mother turned suburban SAHM, and compulsive volunteerer), Sam (the deist, who plays out the stereotypical ’50s every day in ‘the City,’ only to return home and do a passable stab at Feminist Man; a reader only of sci-fi and fantasy), Gillian (born August 2000, a talker, a singer, and rapidly catching up to her mother’s status as a reader), and Jacob (born at home in March 2005, a climber, a smiler, and easily sunburnt).
Kash is an API leader, a LLL Leader, a Girl Scout leader, a homebirther, a babywearer, a cloth diaperer, a sustained nurser who lets her kids wean themselves, a SAHM who also is a member of Mothers & More, leaves her kids for an hour (or three) in the evening at least once a week, and isn’t unschooling.
In fact, these crazy kids-with-kids are using classical homeschooling with their offspring. A weird combination of neoclassical and Latin-centered, and decidedly not child-led. Try not to convince Kash of the error of her ways; she’s also more stubborn than a mule and a teensy bit obsessive-compulsive. There’s no hope of changing her mind; Sam will attest to this.
