He was the most polite, articulate teenager I had met in quite a while. After he got out of the car, my husband told me that he was homeschooled. I was just like&#8230; &#8220;oh,&#8221; and that was it. I didn&#8217;t really think twice about it. Over the next few years, I would be introduced to several homeschooling families without making the connection to what I wanted for my own family.
