Please share what curriculum have you picked after leaving WTM method .Im going to second grade with my oldest , just read the WTM book , and already feel overwhelmed, but need to add languages and math paring with MFW curriculum

Much loved! I tried to chase the Charlotte Mason style for several years. It also seemed never ended trying to keep up with the way. At the beginning of this school year, I realized I had to give it up. I was turning to the CM style almost as an idol. And I also realized I needed to let it go to focus on God’s Word with my teaching. Another reason was that my oldest also loves the textbook style. Ha! He struggles with dysgraphia and so dictation has been impossible. And he needs more of a phonic approach and other resources to help him. After finally letting it go, it was liberating! But hard to do so at first. But I’m enjoying all of homeschooling with all of my children much better. We still use many CM ways, but also use many other ways too, as you said. Thanks so much for making this video!

What did you do before starting this? And now that she’s done with all the levels what are you doing?

Do you still use Thinkwell? Do you jump all your kids to Honors 7th Grade after 5th Grade to have them accelerated? I am about to start Thinkwell with my eldest.

This is me

I am currently debating whether to continue the co-op we are in next year or not. I have public speaking anxiety and don't really want to teach large groups, I enjoy my 1:1 time with my son more

Sound likr us.

This sounds so much easier than what Im doing.

Thank you for these helpful tips! Today was a rough - complaining day with my homeschooler. Your words of wisdom and encouragement have given me hope to keep homeschooling. May God bless you and your family! 🙂

Thanks so much for this honest, straightforward, and encouraging video. We need more moms like you who can take a deep look into their own heart and realize our words can either tear or build up one another. Thanks!

I’m new to homeschooling and showed up to a new group and I felt unwelcome, unfriendly vibes. I googled it and found this video. Validating. Thank you.

Hi Lexi, you're missed. Please consider coming back with more highschool videos.

I have heard so many horror stories about co ops so I decided not to do it. It's just an unorganized public school

I feel the same, thank you for sharing!

This was very comforting. 😃

Currently using writing with skill and I find that piece of the curriculum very strong.

Great video. I think these homeschooling parents' criticism is because homeschooling is frightening (I say this as a homeschooling mom)---you're constantly second-guessing yourself: am I doing the right thing by homeschooling my kids, have I chosen the right method of homeschooling, etc.?---and I think some homeschooling parents project that insecurity onto other homeschooling families. (And just as I'm writing this comment, I hear you're saying this exact same thing.)

oh wow!! I just recently started researching homeschool options for my daughter. and came across this video. I'm pretty sure I've seen you in some other videos....Qkids?!

So much wonderful information, thank you! I'm curious bout your daughter's math coding class. Could you inform be on what course/curriculum she uses?

I LOVE your tie dy idea! I think we do that one.

Do you have any thoughts on this curriculum after a few years of using it? How long did you guys continue? My daughter is a kinesthetic learner. She has done well with First Language Lessons, but I'm trying to decide if we should continue with Level 4 on that or if I should see if there is another curriculum that would work better for her. She does enjoy diagramming sentences.

I seriously could not relate more to this ! My style of homeschool was textbook free , workbook free ,living books, and child led .However my kids hated it , and I always thought I just must be doing it wrong and would switch it up and try to make it more exciting, nothing worked .Turns out they just wanted the facts without all the fluff . They LOVE and I do mean Love textbooks and workbooks! go figure 😂

So helpful - thank you!

The school bureaucracy is the biggest obstacle. I am about to attempt placing my son in grade 9 skipping grades 7 and 8, but I have a very little hope. With him we are already studying math for the high school (grades 11-12) and he does not have any problems whatsoever. I definitely see a potential. However, when I contact the high school authorities, they will tell me that according to their policies, they will be able to place my son in their school only if sir James Madison personally approves this placement. With a big friendly smile they will tell me that they sincerely want to help and they recommend me contacting his secretary about an appointment. It is frustrating when ridiculous rules and policies totally override a commonsense.

I love this concept. But it looks like you are filming this from a bathroom stall hehe :D

My kids LOVE workbooks too. Go figure!

Lexi!!! I have never come across this video before!

So true!! Some kids like school books 📚

if you skip a grade in homeschool and you go back to real school are you going to be in the you grade you skip or are you still going to be in the higher grade

This is very helpful. Getting the well trained mind was my first step into homeschooling too. I started reading, and I started getting some of the resources. But I didn’t get very far into the book when I hit the history section, and I felt that lack your talking about in regards to biblical worldview. I didn’t know what kind of homeschooling I wanted to do, but I felt like this was not the person I wanted to model behind, because she didn’t prioritize highly enough what I wanted to. If YOUR homeschool doesn’t prioritize YOUR priorities, then why are you even homeschooling? Right?!? I love that you are adding more apologetics and adding more solidly Christian materials over ambiguous. Discipling our children as parents is our God- given responsibility, and no one can do it for us!!

I am growing more structured now in our 3rd year too!! My kids really need and like it!

who are your fave teachers? I have two kids that are ready for language 7th and 8th grade...

Sometimes I do kick and scream... makes the kids look at me weird.....lol. I do it for the shock factor.

Would my child only get used to being with me as adult when Homeschooling? Would he feel anxitety when other adults correct them because he is only used to being with me?

great video, what are you using now?

I have an off topic question: Are electives or specials mandatory when Homeschooling?

Which textbook curriculum did you use previously?

Thank you! I didn’t know you could take it more than once and early on.

Such good points! I've already changed so much from my ideal and I'm going into my second year. Now I can see other reasons to be open to more change. Thank you!

I have the same feeling as you , and I haven’t even started homeschooling yet! But I know myself and gravitate towards anything that will save my sanity. What would you recommend for a 5th grade curriculum?

I'm planning on homeschooling for middle school. Too much drama in middle school... With the kids being so hormonal and the things the gov wants to teach them. Gosh the stuff I saw in middle school would make the devil blush...sigh

How did you end up liking this curriculum?

Thank you for this video. Question. I'm looking for new laser printer or printer that the ink doesn't cost soo much.?

Both my husband and I are homeschool graduates as well!! We are now homeschooling our five children and LOVE it!

Absolutely the best video so far on Lightning Literature. Thank You! I was looking for a sample lesson.😀

This is interesting. My son will be 5 in October and even though he'll be in kindergarten he'll be doing 1st grade level work. It never occurred to me that he might skip a middle school. I think he might need a year to work on "himself" as he hits puberty though to be honest. ... and I don't really know how to use a planner effectively so I guess I'm gonna have to figure that out. I just kind of assumed 2 hours of homework for every hour in class and it worked out. There was not much time for anything else though.

Second generation homeschooler here as well ♡ totally understand and appreciate your thoughts!

How much would not using the composition affect what this curriculum has to offer? Also, do you see an issue with reading the literature in a different order or are the lessons cumulative?

I joined one this year. It was only once a month. My sons loved it but my daughter did not. She would say hi to the girls and they would ignore her and she felt left out. I told her thats what public school is like you have different cliques. We quit going and don’t plan on going back. We can just get together with people who like and enjoy getting together with us once in awhile;)
