Stuart and Tamarah Goggans remember when they were young parents.
They were worried about raising their children to be responsible and of service to others. They were concerned about preparing them for kindergarten and raising them in God’s image.
They believe that God made them “stewards” of their children’s lives and they took that role seriously. They took it so seriously that they decided to educate their children at home because they thought, who knew their children better and who loved them more?
And in turn, the Gogganses had to fight for the right to educate their children at home.
More than 40 years later, the couple reflected on what they call “the home school revolution” and their role in it at a recent meeting of Hamilton Flourishing, a new conservative think tank in Chattanooga.
