@justinparke - We live in tough times, and my heart goes out to you as you navigate life in another country. My wife and I moved to Indonesia as a married couple and we grew our family there over the course of 10 plus years.

Our homeschooling journey started in part due to the lack of education options where we lived, but it has continued because of our strong convictions.

Props to you and your wife for being able to make such a strong shift in the education paradigm to meet the needs of your kiddos.

Providing opportunities for social interaction is a legitimate concern, one we have to work through as well. COVID adds a new layer of complication.

For me, I don't want to confuse a lot of social interaction with quality social interaction. It is important for my kiddos to know how to interact with children their own age as well as how to relate to people both older and younger. Over the last few months, my 13-year-old has been wanting more time with her friends/peers. My wife and I are working through how to make that happen in light of the unique circumstances we live in.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing!
