The #Romeikes & our attorney met with ICE staff in TN, where they signed the paperwork to extend their stay in the US for another year. Next, we need Congress to pass H.R. 5423, or a decision from the Biden admin to grant them permanent residency. .

#Homeschooling has been growing about 4 to 8% a year for a while now, but I’ve seen it really, in the last 3 or 4 years, become more of a mainstream option, where it went from, ‘I could never do that,’ to, ‘Oh, I have a friend who does that.’”>>

An increasing number of parents are opting for homeschooling due to concerns about the school environment, such as bullying and shootings. #Homeschooling means that parents can provide a safe and supportive learning environment. Was this one of your reasons for homeschooling?
