There’s a campaign going around. The thinking goes, if a critical mass of people send a letter of intent to homeschool, it can change our region’s decision to close schools. Either that, or they can face losing funding.

I would have posted me doing the happy dance on my social media last week when Ontario announced the kids were going back to school on February 16, but I was too busy.
