Joan Bishop has been a WISDOM facilitator since 2011 and really loves this work. She feels very privileged to meet with homeschooling families, coming alongside parents with support and encouragement. She is a strong homeschooling advocate who firmly believes that children need their parents far more than most people even know, since it has been the norm, for many years, to send children away to other people for so many hours each week.
Joan says, "Since almost all of us homeschooling parents attended school for so many years, we have grown up learning this one way of life: children being away from their families and parents for most of each weekday for their growing up years, being taught by other people, including other children.” “To set out on the homeschooling journey is a new path for most parents. It is quite an adjustment for parents to give so much to their family, but it is what parents need to do. The world gets more challenging and confusing with each passing day and it is best if parents are in it very closely with their children.”
Joan and her husband Barry homeschooled their five children. They love time together with this growing family. Home is an acreage near Gwynne.
