Pam Barnhill

“How can it be a large career to tell other people’s children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one’s own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No; a woman’s function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness.”
― Pam Barnhill, The Confident Homeschooler: How to Thrive in the Day-to-Day

“Why does this matter? After all, aren’t we just teaching history and science? No, we are teaching persons. We are striving to help our children become life-long seekers of knowledge by building habits and virtues. Small daily rituals are how we do this.”
