Why Homeschooling Matters Now More Than Ever

It’s no secret that America’s classrooms are changing—and not always for the better. Parents watch as schools drift further from academic excellence and deeper into political agendas.

Test scores continue to slide. Confusion about identity and values takes center stage. And the voices shaping our children’s worldview often belong more to the state than to the family.

Our kids deserve better. They deserve an education that prepares them to think critically, live boldly, and carry a moral compass in a chaotic world. If parents want to raise courageous, capable, and free-thinking men and women, homeschooling is no longer a fringe option—it’s become a vital one.

You Are the Teacher Your Kids Need

Here’s the truth: no one loves your children more than you do. No one cares more about their character, their safety, or their future. That makes you the most qualified person on earth to guide their education.

Homeschooling isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about shaping hearts and minds through everyday life, weaving lessons of faith, family, and freedom into math problems and history books. It’s about discipleship—not just academics. And you don’t have to do it alone.

The Benefits of Homeschooling

Parents who make the switch quickly discover the benefits:

• Freedom: tailor your child’s education to their strengths, passions, and pace.
  
  
• Protection: give them a safe foundation to grow before facing the world’s pressures.
  
  
• Formation: instill faith, values, and wisdom in the home.
  
  
• Community: connect with like-minded families who walk this journey alongside you.
  
  

Of course, starting can feel overwhelming. Where do you begin? How do you choose the right curriculum? What about high school? That’s where Great Homeschool Conventions (GHC) comes in.

GHC brings together thousands of homeschool families every year, along with the nation’s leading speakers, authors, and curriculum providers. Imagine hundreds of workshops designed to answer your toughest questions, an exhibit hall bursting with hundreds of homeschool resources, and special tracks for dads, teens, and kids.

With five regional conventions hosted in South Carolina, Missouri, Ohio, California, and Texas, GHC has become the Homeschool Event of the Year—drawing families from more than 38 states to learn, connect, and be inspired.

It’s the one-stop hub for parents who want to homeschool with confidence. If you're ready to take the leap or just interested in learning more, register here and join Warrior Poet Society at a Great Homeschool Convention in 2026, where Bekah and I (John Lovell) will be speaking in South Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. 

Step Into Your Role as a Homeschooling Parent

Our kids don’t need more hours under the state’s guidance—they need more time with us. They need parents willing to step into the role of teacher, leader, and guide. Homeschooling is the path. 

The future belongs to parents who rise up, lead with courage, and reclaim the education of their children. Will you be one of them?
