A Seguin student who struggled with bullying in school is now thriving in virtual learning after his mother found an option that improved his learning experience.

As far as children connecting with other children, Lambert says before the pandemic time, students would have meetup groups. Lambert said first-time homeschool parents will need support, and that is available through social media groups and mentoring programs. Anybody can do this if you have a heart to do it, and you will find that you will learn as much as your children, Lambert said. Parents can notify school districts of their intent to leave their district to homeschool. The number of families who have decided to leave their district this coming school year will not be available until school begins in the fall.
