I was homeschooled most of my childhood (with some short experiences in traditional schooling, until I went to several public schools parttime in high school). It was an unusual childhood experience, so I thought it would be interesting to share my experience. It was a mostly positive one, but I would say that is due to my personality, being more shy and introverted and thriving in quiet environments. Homeschooling isn’t perfect for everyone, and I’m sure there are downsides and upsides no matter what educational path you choose. This isn’t a proalternative schooling video, just sharing my positive memories. Hopefully, it inspires you to get creative with your own learning journey throughout adulthood! I thought it would be fun to share and hear about your experiences as well!
