The longer I’m in the workforce, the more apparent it becomes that 18 years of schooling did much less than it could have to prepare me for the real world. Talk about a sub-optimal ROI. So I’m strongly considering home schooling my children. Have you explored this route? Thoughts? 🙏

If I as an adult can find a source of group activities without going through school then you can likely find plenty of options for your kids also Most crossfits have kids programs, they get so many lessons in one with those - discipline - discomfort - socializing - develop a love for exercise - functional movements
