In april... thousands of parents and homeschooling organizations were supposed to come here to the mayo civic center for (ma?

Of course, it was canceled... but that's not stopping parents from still wanting to learn about the process.

(ma?

"*shay) mache is a non?

"*profit in minnesota that provides home educators with helpful resources and information.

Since the pandemic started... board member, jerry ophoven, tells me they've had more parents reaching out to them interested in withdrawing their children from public school and switch to homeschooling .

Ophoven says parents kind of got a feel for homeschooling with distance learning.

That could be why some are wanting to pursue it.

"they know what their learning styles work best for them.

They know how they learn, they know the speed at which they learn.

So they can find curriculum out there that will apply to each child and teach them each individually.

Children actually thrive."

Ophoven says if you're wanting to make the switch from public school to homeschooling ... do it sooner rather than later.

He says reaching out to people you know who have done homeschooling will most likely be the best resource overall.
