  1. Guess what? I’ve NEVER been to Chick-Fil-A! There’s NONE around here! But with everyone raving about this restaurant…the first time I see one we’ll stop and munch! LOL

    1. Jessy- I do certainly hope that you are awarded the opportunity to visit CFA sometime very soon. It really is a pleasure!  

  2. I love this! My husband adores Chik-fil-a. I’m not such a big fan of the food. They are building a new one in our town. He is really excited, I’m pumped about the play place.

    We certainly can apply their philosophies to many areas of our life! I like how you’ve done that with homeschool.

  3. great post!! i never thought of it this way, tho i am a loyal CFA fan.

  4. Thank you SO much for this post! What a wonderful perspective on homeschooling the “Chick-fil-A way”! I am a new homeschooling mom but born and raised in GA I am extremy familiar with chick-fil-a! I love the family and the standards they have set, how wonderful we can use them to teach our children. You should check out Truets books, especialy “Its better to build boys, than mend men”, great book!

  5. I love this Kim!
    Everything you said is so true.
    Thanks for the reminder! 🙂

  6. Your first point is THE MOST important! It is our pleasure to homeschool our children. We have been blessed with a wonderful opportunity to tailor our child’s education around them – their strengths, their weaknesses, their interests. It’s funny, my daughter draws a lot, so I thought I would make her more difficult subjects art-based. Turns out she’s not interested in art! She’s interested in cartooning! So now we take a lot of pictures when we go to the art museum and we’re going to use a program to turn the pictures into cartoons and add text to them. I had a hard time accepting the change.

    Her lack of interest in school and (trouble keeping up) was the whole point in homeschooling. I’m at the point where I have to remember that is my pleasure to homeschool her the way SHE needs to be homeschooled.

    Thanks for sharing! I’m going to CFA now!

  7. A friend from church shared this with me, I’m a operator (franchisee) in Greensburg, PA. Thanks for the positive comments! Which pens would you like? I’d be happy to send you some!

    1. Aww. I really was kidding about the pens, it’s not hard to say good things about Chick-fik-a. (I like the really thin ones. I believe they are called “javelina” pens.)

  8. Thank you for this. Challenging in the best way–especially this time of year.

  9. I am blessed to work for Chick-fil-A! After staying home with my children (funny, I don’t remember being “home” that often), I headed back to the workforce once my youngest started school! It is a wonderful experience as an employee too! Thanks for a well-written article!

  10. I absolutely LOVE Chick Fil A and this post. I took my kids there for lunch today. A friend and I had this same conversation this morning and we were wishing that we had stock in the company. 🙂 What a great way to compare it to homeschooling!!!

  11. But the foods gross and the dining room dirty (at least that has been my experience with the local locations).

    1. I’m shocked to hear this. I’ve been to dozens of CFA’s around the country and never once experienced anything dirty! It’s by far the cleanest fast food option and in my opinion FAR more tasty. 🙂

  12. What an excellent perspective. Thank you for articulating and sharing this! Also, I really want a #1 with sweet tea and CFA sauce now 😉

  13. Really enjoyed the outline in relation to CFA and what it takes to homeschool. I only wish I could franchise my own one day. Yet then if I raise my children up to be enterpuernuers this would be a likely prospect! ??
