This fall when you see geese heading south for the winter, you will notice them flying along in a “V” formation. What might be of interest to you is what has been discovered about why they fly in this formation. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in this “V” formation, the entire flock can fly a minimum of 71% farther than if they flew on their own. 

What do geese flying in formation have in common with homeschooling? So much! Below are a few lessons we can take from the geese.

Students will be confronted with all the obstacles that must be overcome. And for many of them, the obstacle that looms largest is talking to mom and dad.
