Homeschooling is a type of education in which parents or guardians teach their children at home, rather than sending them to a traditional school. Homeschooling has been around for centuries, and it has been practiced by people from all walks of life. In the early days of homeschooling, there were no formal guidelines or curriculum, and parents were free to teach their children whatever they wanted. As homeschooling became more popular, however, more and more people began to develop curriculum and resources specifically designed for homeschoolers.

One of the most popular early homeschooling curricula was Parents and Children Illustrated. This curriculum was developed by Charlotte Mason, a British educator who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Mason believed that children learn best through experience and observation, and she developed her curriculum accordingly. Parents and Children Illustrated is a hands-on, child-led curriculum that emphasizes literature, nature study, and the arts. It is also a very flexible curriculum, and parents can adapt it to meet the needs of their individual children.
