@HomeschoolBlack @BMenHomeschool @citizenstewart That said, I believe the day is soon coming where more Black families will make homeschooling their first choice as it becomes more of a norm.

[Cheryl Fields-Smith, PhD @drcherylfields]

@HomeschoolBlack @BMenHomeschool @citizenstewart Based on my research with 70 Black homeschool families, homeschooling is a second choice. Meaning they initially placed their children in traditional schools (public or private) but chose homeschooling out of necessity given anti-Blackness experienced within those schools.

@LazCamacho Dr. Cokely, create a realistic strategic plan for writing, self-care, and work-life balance. See if your institution has a membership in the National Center for Faculty Diversity and Development (https://t.co/BkIzL5NpeH). Enjoy the journey!!!!💗💗💗

@ImJustNuru 🤣🤣 Got it!!! You’re going to do well when you do! You’re thinking like a parent! I love that!

[Cheryl Fields-Smith, PhD @drcherylfields]

@ImJustNuru I’m curious what is your 25% hesitancy with homeschooling?

[Cheryl Fields-Smith, PhD @drcherylfields]

@ImJustNuru One thing, I recommend never relying completely on a school to educate your children. As parents we have to keep our children engaged in discovering new ideas and pursuing their wonderings!

[Cheryl Fields-Smith, PhD @drcherylfields]

@ImJustNuru You have options!

[Cheryl Fields-Smith, PhD @drcherylfields]

@ImJustNuru I definitely understand that, particularly when schools tend to be so focused on tests and standards.
