Waaaayyyy back around 1982 we started to teach our kids at home in the suburbs of Detroit Michigan. It was definitely the'dark ages' of the movement ... social workers or truant officers or both might turn up at your door any day to interrogate or, worse yet, remove your children into protective custody and cart you, the parent, off to jail.
Those were scary times, so when I saw this article about homeschooling in urban Detroit, I had to smile as so many memories came flooding back. As in other states, Homeschooling has thrived in Michigan and especially in the Detroit area, and I couldn't be happier about that! We (the early pioneers) worked extremely hard to bring about homeschool liberation.
Here's the article I'm talking about: Alternative urban education: Parents and city kids benefit from homeschooling
Neat article!
