"If there’s a world here in a hundred years, it’s going to be saved by tens of millions of little things. The powers-that-be can break up any big thing they want. They can corrupt it or co-opt it from the inside, or they can attack it from the outside. But what are they going to do about 10 million little things? They break up two of them, and three more like them spring up!"
- Pete Seeger, in YES! Magazine

Educating Our Children

The project:
Provide education for our children.

Time:
It's hard to quantify this when you homeschool. What counts? If you're talking about table time (desk time), 90 minutes. If you include lessons away from workbooks and tabletops, there were the other lessons, the science project, the art project, reading, history, horseback riding and all things related, swimming, cooking.

Why bother?
I've written about this fairly regularly. Start here, then go here, and finally you can see that it really all comes down to this - I'm nuts!
And some of the HOW can be read here.

Worth it?
Absolutely!
