  1. Thank you so much Susan for posting this video! I have had numerous conversations recently with homeschool moms trying to figure out what co-op they should join. I have been able to share this within my local homeschool community and I hope it is as helpful to them as it is to me as I am mapping out my homeschool journey.

  2. I am just starting out, and this was exactly what I needed to hear – especially the part about missing something. I appreciate your honesty about all things homeschool.

    • I needed to hear this! I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. We have 4 kids and have surprise twins arriving in the fall. I believe our co-op involvement in the past has been influenced by peer pressure and sometimes has added more stress than relieved it. Needless to say, we are taking this year off and reevaluating!

  3. Absolute Truth!!! co-ops can so easily become dominate force in your school. Make your decisions based on what keeps your family and their needs first.
