You know how some feminists complain that younger women don’t appreciate everything they have and the struggle it took to get there? That’s what I want for homeschooling.

I want the right and the rightness of homeschooling to be so ingrained in our choices that it is taken for granted. That, every once in a while, some old codger like me says, “You know, it wasn’t always this way.” And the new homeschooler nods and smiles, confident in her rights and her ability to make good choices for her children.

But it regularly surprises me that we’re not there yet.
