I too am a teacher that left the classroom to teach my children at home. I got a lot of very interesting looks and comments from friends and family. I stuck to our decision though. I have the phone on silence during our school times, and I don’t look at the computer (unless we need it for a lesson). I also created an ultra private Facebook page that I invited close family and 2-3 friends to. 2-3 times a week I upload pics and descriptions of what we are doing in school. At the beginning of the year nobody was sure I’d be “schooling” the kids correctly at home (I still don’t understand people who think this way - what difference is it if it is in a brick building or my house?) Anyway - once they started to see what we were doing - reading what our kids were doing, watching videos of my kids presenting things, etc the whole family got on board and is 100% supportive. Instead of confronting them in a challenging way we stuck to our decision and proved it was a good one. I hope this helps
