School daze
Homeschool, unschooled, private schooled, public schooled, religious schooled, military schooled, BOCES. I have seen them all. In my humble opinion, the single most important thing that shaped all of these kids from disparate school experiences, for better or worse, was the engagement of their parents and/or caregivers. That more than anything made a difference to the mental and spiritual health of a young adult, Someone who really, really cared, and showed it.
