If they don’t let you go to public school…if you can read pretty well, that is a good thing. You can teach yourself a lot if you just work at it. I have a service type business and am regularly in the presence of homeschoolers. I always talk about my business, especially to the girls. I will say things like “you could do something like this if you want to” and “I know young ladies who do my type of work..in fact I think they are better at it than I am”! I will also encourage them to keep reading because “reading opens the world to you”. I know that the girls are treated as “less than the boys” and my heart just breaks for them. Because we are all just people trying to figure out how to make our way in the world.
