It can be so hard to think that we can actually change the education system because people have tried. Change is slow, so it's easy to let things stay the same. But education doesn't have to be what it is now or what it used to be. Empowered learners. Kids who love learning. Students finding their purpose. That's what education should be. When we homeschool or microschool or when we do something alternative, and we stick with it... we can bring education into the 21st century. And that's why we do what we do at Prenda. There is hope, and it starts with us as caring adults. We can change education for the better. Want to be a part of this mission? Learn more 👉 prenda.com
