As parents, when you take a decision as radical as staying out of mainstream system of education, you take full charge of your lives with an intention of raising children who would be in-charge of their own lives. Growing up with your children is an organic process, where you learn as the processes emerge and evolve. Sometimes, you may feel a need to connect to someone who has been there and has seen how life has unfolded with these choices.
