When you start to think outside the “box,” you’ll see that you really can educate your kids yourself. There are complete boxed curricula, online courses, DVDs, homeschool co-ops, homeschool magazines, and hundreds of companies that cater directly to the needs, learning styles, and varying interests of students and their parents. Today, that generation of homeschoolers is all grown up, and the resources available for them to teach their own children have vastly increased. There weren’t a lot of resources available back then, but with ingenuity and determination, they successfully taught their kids. In the 1970s, a few courageous parents decided to DIY their children’s education. DIY Education happens when you take what you have and put your own brand on it. One big reason is that the public schools are rapidly descending to an agenda far away from Christian principles. The reasons range from wanting to provide individualized instruction that builds on a child’s strengths and interests, to health issues or special needs, to avoiding school violence, increasing family time, and many more. But what about teaching your children? Could you do that yourself? Today, an estimated 2-3 million children are taught by their parents at home. From landscaping to minor home repair, there are entire websites and even TV networks dedicated to encouraging people to do it themselves.
DIY has become a way of life for some folks.
