This was a great read. I’m not a homeschooler, but I really connect with the idea that the community itself is the classroom. I’ve seen my son light up asking questions at the grocery store or chatting with firefighters on a layover stop. Those small, unplanned moments teach more than we think. Thanks for reminding me to slow down and notice them.
I know! It’s awesome, isn’t it? So many people don’t realise this. Education happens everywhere. It is incredibly empowering as a parent to realise this, to continue to be a part of our child’s wonder, curiosity and interest as they learn about the world.

Exactly. It’s easy to forget how much learning happens between the “official” stuff. Those small, curious moments are the real flight lessons.
