ExclusiveHomeschooling started early America’s legacy of learning, literacy, and virtue

Education and literacy were very important to Americans in the Colonial Era. There were no government schools, so families took the instruction of their young upon themselves, using the limited but practical resources at their disposal. More than book knowledge, however, high moral values and a strong character were cultivated and prized. As our country grew, home education fell out of favor because the public school system became the primary education model. It wasn’t until the late 1960s and early 1970s that families began to be dissatisfied with the status quo school system. A combination of circumstances, both legal and societal, over the next two decades made homeschooling a feasible alternative for families.

There are two articles on homeschooling in the Life & Tradition section of the Epoch Times, written by homeschooling expert and mother of two Karen Doll. Tiffany Brannan compares these articles with her own personal experiences of having been homeschooled from kindergarten to high school graduation at age 13. Like the home education of the American Colonies, homeschooling prioritizing personalized learning, individualized lesson plans, and the incorporation of real-world learning, skills, and knowledge beyond the standardized curriculum to build strong character.
