Mid 1980’s – working as a nurse with Native American natives – newly married and received a book out of the blue on homeschooling by Raymond Moore. He is thought of as the father of the homeschool movement.
Moved to Virginia Beach and joined a church with many homeschoolers. The children were close to the parents and saw such virtue in children and teenagers who homeschooled and it impressed her.
Read the book, “Homegrown Kids.”
Sing – Spell – Read and Write – an entire floor of the library was devoted to homeschool materials.
Prayed for a calling from the Lord. Her husband wasn’t sold on it, but he was open to the ideas.

The Gerwitz Family’s journey began in 1986.

I didn’t feel called to homeschool – I was an education major who wanted to change the world – I loved kids and I had a purpose of educating and making the world a better place.
After the birth of my first child, I happily stayed home because I couldn’t bear to leave him home. As I watched him grown, then we had another child.
I am not proud to admit that I talked people out of homeschooling! But the Lord had other ideas.
At this time, I started noticing some delays in my son – and even with all of my intervention, he just seemed a little slower in grasping.
After fighting with the school board and the academic placement of Neal – I happened to meet a lady whose child had the same diagnosis of my son of Mosaicism – she was a wonderful lady who used hands-on materials and taught me so much by example.
My husband and I prayed and he decided I should try it for 6 months.
We never looked back and homeschooled all five of our children.
Letting Go and letting God is a decision I made almost every day.
Releasing my children’s needs to the Lord as well as mine is also a daily decision and one I continue with today.
