One thing I’ve noticed in rural Texas is how often I see Facebook posts announcing someone’s decision to homeschool, while the post itself is riddled with basic grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.

Homeschooling can absolutely work when parents are prepared for it. But teaching children is a serious responsibility. If you’re struggling with the fundamentals of written communication, that’s not necessarily an argument against homeschooling—it’s an argument for making sure you’re equipped for the job before taking it on.

What worries me is the anti-education attitude that sometimes comes with it. There seems to be a belief in some circles that expertise doesn’t matter, that teachers don’t matter, that education itself is somehow suspect. The result is often children being taught by adults who know less than they think they do and are unwilling to learn more.

That’s not a rural Texas problem alone, but you certainly see it here.

The kids are the ones who pay the price. They only get one chance at a childhood education. They deserve adults who are committed to learning, growing, reading, and improving themselves—not adults who have decided they already know everything worth knowing.

It looks like fine weather for the Gorsedh Kernow Midsummer Awen ceremony at Carnkie, Redruth on Sunday afternoon! The ceremony celebrates the season and also the passing on of tradition from one generation to the next. This year we will also have the Red River Singers with us. All are welcome to the ceremony at West Basset Stamps, Carnkie at 2.30pm on 21st June.

And if you would like to take the opportunity to learn a bit of Cornish, there is also a free taster session in Carnkie Village Hall afterwards at 4pm, organised by Rosweyth, with tutor (and former Grand Bard) Pol Hodge.
