Homeschool Horror: Mom Vs. Charlotte Mason & Family Drama

Tiffany Tuttle, inspired by the legendary nightmare of Columbine and fueled by school lockdown drills, decided to homeschool her kindergarten daughter in 2025, turning their dining room into a war zone of academic and spiritual growth. Family and strangers asked if she was insane or just wanted a permanent daycare assistant while doubting her teaching chops—because why rely on a five-year-old's mom instead of a Keystone-Cop certified educator? Overwhelmed by curriculum choices and mysterious Victorian educators like Charlotte Mason, Tiffany flirted with quitting for personal silence and solitude. But she stuck it out, mixing formal study with life skills, transforming self-doubt into a homeschooling saga filled with curiosity, intentionality, and weekly doses of existential dread.
