So much yes, Aparna! You share so much of my philosophy of homeschooling. I've been homeschooling for 23 years now, after being a high school English teacher. It took me a long time unravel my rigid ideas about education. Now I write and even speak at conferences about this important difference in "School vs. Education." It's my passion. I would love to know what you think about this story I wrote a couple weeks ago...https://medium.com/illumination/school-hurts-kids-b23b537319cd
