Lest you think that homeschooling is a mom-only only, here’s a great big Smrt Learnins shout out to all the fathers who are involved in homeschooling, whether as the primary educator, as a part-time homeschool helper, a single-subject teacher, or just the cheering section for their homeschooling partners.
I don’t know what I’d do without Officer Daddyman’s support. He was the one who first got bitten by the homeschool bug and he was the one who made me believe that we could do this without totally messing up our kids. So far, he’s been right! He helps Captain Science with math, runs a board game class/club for our co-op, engages in the curricula, and even started an account on the Well-Trained Mind Forums. What’s not to love about a homeschooling daddy?
We moms can do it alone if we have to. We can homeschool without the support of a partner if we need to. We’re grateful for the guys in our lives who DO support us, though. Y’all make it easier and a helluvalot more pleasant!
At Smrt Lernins, we think dads (and step-dads and granddads) who love homeschooling are awesome dads!










Couldn’t agree more! Wonderful tribute to Officer Daddyman.
Amen!
