      I believe it would be confusing to have the different methods in learning how to do the math. If it isn’t working with the curriculum you are using now, try switching over to this all together and see if it helps!

  • @lyndeehawken4436

    I would argue that there are valid reasons not to homeschool that were not addressed in this video, such as lazy parents who are not fully involved/invested in their children's education or a child with special needs who benefits from specialized therapies that the parent may not be able to provide/afford outside of a school environment. I agree that homeschooling is fantastic for parents committed to making it work with the ability to provide for the needs of their children. I just still believe there are cases in which it may not be the best option, and I think it is important to be honest about these times. Otherwise, I agree with most of the points made in this video.

    • @FosteringCuriosity
      @FosteringCuriosity 4 місяці тому

      These are good points. Nothing is best for everyone. We are all individuals. But I would say that I have special learning needs in my family that were not being addressed in the public school system. I have had much, much more support with my child’s learning style after pulling out completely and getting grants for testing, and catered tutoring for learning disabilities to get her the help she needs. It takes lots and lots of time to research to find these solutions. But like you said, that takes a proactive parent. A lazy parent fails in so many more ways than education for their child. Most likely a child with a lazy parent will fail in public school as well, because of the lack of support in homework and extra help that child may need.

    I have one in public school and two homeschooling. My homeschooled kids receive far less socialization time than my public school child. Unfortunately, a lot of her public school socialization results in insecurities and negative information. My homeschool kids do not have any close good friends though, like my daughter in public school does. For that reason, my 12 year old wants to return to picnic school after three long and lonely years.

    • @FosteringCuriosity

    Thank you for sharing this system, I have been processing through what we could try, especially going into the next school year (homeschooling and 2 day co-op). I have a soon to be 7 year old and a 4.5 year old. Could you give me a few ideas of what could be good for them to do? Also, I am curious - when do you switch their daily in charge of chores? (When you mentioned cleaning the table every time vs. the counters, etc.) My 4 year old is very difficult to motivate to help pick up and I am excited to give this a try! Thank you!

    • @FosteringCuriosity
      @FosteringCuriosity 4 місяці тому

      We have kept their daily chores for months! I find it easier than rotating. They do sometimes get tired of doing the same one and I’ll switch them maybe for the day, and then go back to the default. But do what works best for your family! You can stick with the same chores for a month or even a week. Chores that I have for my 7 year old’s daily chores are to clean room, make bed, sweep(1x per day usually at the end of the day), and wipe the table and chairs (chairs is done once a day and table is done sometimes 2x depending on how messy my toddler is at the table). I would work them up to if if they aren’t used to doing these many chores. We have been working her up and adding chores each year. Weekly chore ideas include: sweeping porch, clean bathroom, put clean laundry away, wipe bathroom mirrors, sweep bathroom floor, vacuum family room. They usually will do one or two of these each day depending on how how much work each chore takes to accomplish. Hope this helps!

  • @AG-re5vw
    @AG-re5vw 4 місяці тому

    I think I'd be careful downplaying the need for good academic standards in favor of character development. You need both. It would also be good to do a video on why homeschooling isn't as good for the kids and mitigate those deficits. For example, homeschoolers start to think everything can go on their time. In the real world, you have to work to a deadline. Also, at school, you have to deal with a teacher with an accent or different religion, or who doesn't think you're the cat's meow, or who has a radically different set of values to your own. That's the real challenge in the end. Look how much energy adults have to spend to get radical ideologies out of government! You won't have the skills to deal with those evil things if you haven't had your beliefs tested. Then too, there are teachers at school who really know their subject, such as math, and can inspire you in that direction where your parents may not have the interest or love for the subject. And some teachers have far better communication styles; ie. they don't talk like Mom. I tend to agree homeschooling can be good for many parents, but certainly not all parents.

  • @NatalieSchleiger-eq8ip
    @NatalieSchleiger-eq8ip 4 місяці тому

    I agree! I learn a lot too! Haha and We get time together. When they were in public school we always felt rushed and then I would always have a sick feeling when dropping them off. Especially during the pandamic time wearing masks, it was so sad to see the kids covering their face. So I decided to homeschool my two boys. It’s been two years and we all love it. I have control of what they are learning. We also, travel and that is the best way to learn and grow! I see how respectful they are and we have so much fun. A super plus with no crowds during week and the morning and nights are so nice, not sitting in school traffic everyday. And another plus, we eat good meals all day long. Ps. Thank you for your videos, sometimes the mom guilt kicks in. Some public school parents look down on me. So It is always nice to hear you are not alone at feeling this way!

    When I first started homeschooling my youngest socialization was the most brought uo "concern" by people. I would tell each one, "talk to my son about anything you want and see how well he does." By the time he was about 6 or 7 people stopped asking about the socialization. parents who think they can't homeschool their children are thinking of how misbehaved they are from being put in the gov school system. Some kids are weird/unique and that will happen whether they're homeschooled or not. LOL One of the things I loved about homeschool kids is that the older kids took younger kids under their wings. There weren't any "age" segregations like public school kids. If my son had stayed in private school, they would have labeled him and he would have been behind. A lot of my son's peers went through public school and they're very angry with the school system. They feel the schools have failed them. And can we talk about how many can barely read and barely do math. Excellent video.

    Does your children take standardize tests in subjects that you already "taught them" to see if they will pass or fail the subject? The standardize tests should be taken at a testing site and not at home. Are the children ever going to be able to go to school when they are older? It is nice to homeschool when they are young but harder when they are older.

    • @FosteringCuriosity
      @FosteringCuriosity 5 місяців тому

      That is an interesting perspective. I know many who have sent their kids to school in later years and also those who have homeschooled to college with great success. I’m sure it depends on the kid and the parent.

    I’m gonna be the odd one out here, but I attempted to homeschool my son and though he was easy to teach and followed our timetable well, he did better in a school setting (private) than with me 1:1. When I consider Charlotte Mason’s 1st principle: Children are born persons, I saw that my extroverted son not only thrived but excelled in a school setting where he can look up to other authority figures. He is everything you described as a homeschooled child- mature for his age, speaks well and comfortably with both genders regardless of age and is very comfortable in himself and the Christian values we have instilled in him. My point being is not one size fits all. This message is mainly for the parent that clicked on this video due to its title wondering if their story is the opposite: we took our child out of homeschool and now he is thriving. I should point out that we have educated our child since birth and continue investing in his education by creating an atmosphere of learning in the home, we also chose a good school with a good curriculum. Not every parent can afford private school education so homeschooling with a community is another good option. I would also look to see if there’s a microschool in your area as that is another good option and more affordable.

I have a huge heart for missionary work and have since I was a child...but its incredibly difficult to get started in missions within the Baptist church. That being said..recently my family left our baptist church of several years for a non denominational church...im excited to see where the Lord might lead us next. ❤

      That’s exciting! Just know, I don’t follow it to a T. I know many people will say that is doing it wrong, but it is not wrong if it works for your family. So don’t put restrictions on yourself to follow it perfectly, feel free to dip your toes into WEH to start. I have not served a mission but I love that you have a passion to do so, that just may be your calling! Good luck in the journey!

    Socialization while home schooling is not guaranteed. It doesn't "just happen" but rather requires the parent(s) to reach out for and with thier students/ children; some parents want thier children more isolated for a variety of reasons. This also addresses issues related to "weird kids". Social awkwardness is one reason children, and adults, are considered weird. An intune parent can address this without the psychological damage that can occur with bullying. But, as you mentioned those with less functional family dynamics remain a bit out of sight with homeschooling.

      School and socialization aren’t the same . They are 2 different things that people love to combine as Justification for public schooling ..school should be learning that is it .. at school kids socialize for an hour max . I’m so tired of the whole school is socialization nonsense statement .

    in the past before we became more aware of things like autism schools weren't (and likely still aren't) set up to deal with kids who are neurodivergent. And so many families of these "weird" kids ended up homeschooling.

      We just pulled our kindergarten son from public school last week because of this. The school truly tried and offered him all that they could, but there just wasn't a good place for him at school. I'm a little worried the socialization part will be an issue for us in the future because the homeschool groups around us all seem to be very structured activities and he can't really do those (who knows if he will be able to in the future or not) but for now he's close enough to preschool age we can just find pre school play groups that both he and his little brother can play in. Those seem to be mostly free play and story times, both things he really loves.

    To the point of falling behind, it's really amazing to have the opportunity to cater the curriculum to how the child learns. Public schools don't have that type of flexibility or time to switch anything when it's not working for the child.

    We love all about reading. Maybe we don't have the same addition, but our student activity book isn't consumable. I can reuse mine with my other child. I just cut the activities out, organize and save them. Nothing gets written on. I love seeing the curriculum you use. Thanks for sharing!

    Has anyone tranitioned from good and beautiful math to math u see? If so is there anything lacking or better taught? Is there a big gap or are they closely taught lessons by levels? Any help would be grateful 🙏 thanks.

    • @FosteringCuriosity
      @FosteringCuriosity 5 місяців тому

      I cover what Math U see is lacking and better taught in the video. They are very different. I have switched before and I personally like Math U See better. Math U See really gets those math facts mastered and then moves on and reviews the facts. I think it’s more thorough. But it is set up completely different. Did you watch the whole video? You will see what is taught in the table of contents and flip throughs in the video and can compare that to the Good and the Beautiful. Off the top of my head, math u see is lacking counting money, and telling time. That is done through games for us. I believe all number since, and math facts are taught much better in MUS.

      @FosteringCuriosity thanks for your reply. Yes i saw your whole video nd about it lacking time and money lessons. I was wondering for someone that has not bought either. How would they compare or lack between the two. I did see another video and saw the good and beautiful uses more storys and has more reading which can also be a plus. And asking other people might tell me more. Thanks again for the review. I will rewatch the video in case i missed anything else because i usually multi-task 😅.

    This sounds like a mom who failed at homeschooling so she has to put it down to make herself feel better.. my homeschooled son is 2 grades ahead of his government indoctrinated peers.. he’s smart, mature, and well spoken

    • @FosteringCuriosity
      @FosteringCuriosity 5 місяців тому

      That is so good to hear! I have felt like I have failed many times and I am sure many homeschooled moms feel the same. It definitely hasn’t been an easy journey but I do not feel like I have failed when I let go of many beliefs I have had from the culture many of us grew up in.

  • @ashlieleavelle

    I think part of the reason why many families who homeschool have better behaved kids, is because the parents are able to address more behaviors and correct it. Teachers are so limited on discipline in the school, even in Christian school. It isn't that homeschool kids are perfect, but the parents often parent better....because they see and correct behavior.

    • @lisal5718
      @lisal5718 5 місяців тому

      I guess the main reason is that most people that home school are very invested and involved in the upbringing of their children and they are also probably from financially and emotionally stable homes. Both is on average less likely for the average public school kid. I think most of this advantages equal themselves out when you are controlling for social and financial background as well as a parents‘ willingness to actively parent.
