Even as homeschooling becomes more mainstream, people are shocked when I tell them I homeschool Reagan, my almost 17 y.o. with Down syndrome. Most really have a hard time understanding how a mom can educate their child with significant special needs. They have a hard time understanding why I would even contemplate taking on the task!
I have always tried to make decisions for my children based on their best interests. Homeschooling was/is the best choice for them. Period.
I know longer defend our choice nor bother to explain it unless someone has a sincere interest.
The less traveled homeschooling road has had some challenges but as we look to the end of the road I only see great joy and beauty in what we have accomplished. The interesting thing is others see it too...
