Week 13

Just came back from a visit and a wedding today. Both of us were busy watching the India-England cricket match and generally chilling out today. Jaipur visit was good fun to meet and build friendships with our friends' kids.

Homeschooling has given us the flexibility to enjoy events like these much better. Interacted with a few people and came away with the feeling that people are really scared and unable to take decisions, so seek safety in continuity and tradition.

I am slowly coming to the firm view that all views across all domains are valid and profitable under a certain set of circumstances. The successful people either tend to be able to better contextualize their views and make them suit the circumstances or serendipity takes care by providing the relevant set of circumstances for their view to flourish. Under this view, my decision to homeschool should also work under a certain set. Now, the challenge in front of me can be reframed as whether I can verbalize the specific set of circumstances that make homeschooling ideal for my kids! Will try to come back with my thoughts at some point during this journey.
