Minimalist homeschooling is not about taking the easy route or being lazy! Minimalist homeschooling is not squeaking by with the bare minimum, or ignoring education until it is a necessity. It is not just going through the books that have the appropriate grade number in the top right corner and checking off a list that somebody else has made. Minimalist homeschoolers invest their time and energy in the front-end of the process, carefully choosing subjects and resources to best achieve specific values and goals. It is an incredibly thoughtful and intentional approach to homeschooling.
