Roger: Are you happy to be a part of Mulberry co-op?
Devorah: Yes.
Roger: What is your philosophy of homeschooling?
Devorah: Well, I think it's good to not have kids sitting at a desk in a classroom all day. and it is good for them to learn by experience and actually doing things than reading from textbooks and filling out work sheets. I personally like homeschooling because it does not have a laid out curriculum and I get the chance to choose what I would like to learn.
Roger: Did you find this true when you went to school?
Devorah: Yes, all my time was spent in a classroom and you had no say in the lessons.
