Dude. This is such an articulate, concise and honestly, profound take on being homeschooled. Seriously, so well put…I was also homeschooled- 3rd through high school. My parents chose it for religious reasons and as you talked about, to make our world smaller and more sheltered. If you were to ask any of my 5 siblings, or myself, we would say it was not a good choice for a multitude of reasons. The largest, not even being academic, but more mental health. Education wise, while we all would say it was lacking in many areas, we all tested high on college entrance exams, standard tests, etc. What you said about parents acknowledging that the children may be smarter, that their world view may not be complete, and that there is so much they themselves do not know, hit hard with me. Kudos to you having the confidence to talk about this(I’m 40 and still insecure about it at time!- ridiculous I know)…..last thing- what your mom did that allowed you to play ball with paying taxes was gangster and I absolutely love it.
Very nice personal sharing. Brave and insightful. P.S. I love your parents, (from what I know of them) so cool and I think, quietly brilliant. I would love to hear you speak of your architectural design philosophy and ethics and what led you to who you are due to these practices. Thanks
Great episode sir. Thoroughly enjoyed it and thanks for sharing. Just wanted to share I currently work at the Christian university I attended as an undergrad and I always admired my homeschooled peers and now as a manager, I prefer to hire home schooled student workers because they're just better overall employees; they're smarter, do good work, take direction well and don't need to be micromanaged. Just my two cents :-)
I was curious about how time was budgeted for home schooling and how that compares to the time spent when you went to a public school? You touched on efficiencies with the large number of children and different learning speeds. An advantage I see with home schooling is that a kid can go outside to investigate some subjects instead of looking at photos while in the prison, I mean classroom. : )
Not sure it is for this channel, but I would love to hear your thoughts on home building and remodeling from an environmental perspective. I know you shared ideas and knowledge with the container house build. Loved that. Learned much. Sincerely appreciated. I am guessing you have more to share with your new place. I just know your think about environmental benefits often and your sense of design is fantastic. Would love to hear you speak more about it.
Your Mom and Dad are cool. Thanks to them for giving our planet fabulous beings! ♥
it varied quite a bit with my siblings but for me I typically spent about 2-3 hours on average of focused sit down school work a day for grades 3rd-8th and about 3-4 hours 9th-11th grades. Yes! I will be doing an entire show on how to build your own home
Thanks. You're welcome, Mom 🙂

Ben, this is so fascinating and helpful! My wife and I have been thinking about homeschooling as we prepare to be parents. I value your perspective tremendously.
I would be really interested to hear your take on how changes in modern technology might impact homeschool education now, or just the education process in general. Remote classes, independent online curriculum, youtube as a method of self-directed learning, or even social media as a homeschooler's connection to friends. The options and availability are pretty different to when we were kids.
Thank you Forby! There is a real value to in person social interaction both with peers and with teachers who have advanced knowledge in a specific field. Homeschool worked well for me and I am grateful for it but those two aspects I experienced my senior year could not be fully replicated at home. Remote classes and online curriculums are tricky. For our family the value was in the grade level testing which gave us assurances that we were at or above our age level. That peace of mind was important for both me and my parents and gave us the confidence that we could be creative and flexible with how we did day to day learning. My concern with online courses would revolve around what sort of screen time they require.
My kid is two and a half years old and already smarter than I am 😂
Fascinating "podcast(?)"!!! So it wasn't very clear to me whether your parents were driven religiously or were more "hippy type" to home-school all of you and whether kids had any choice in the matter.
I agree with your points in the danger of "bubble" type of isolation of home-schooling and the benefit of supplementing home-schooling with additional educations from outside sources (e.g. community college). I guess in order to succeed in home-schooling, one would need invested parents (both of 'em). You talked about f'd up home-schooled kids ... seems similar to many "pastor's kids" I've met in life.
I don't think I ever met a home-schooled kid in my life (I'm a bit older than you). I grew up as a foreign born kid of a 1st gen Korean immigrant who followed a typical path while both parents worked hard to feed the family. FYI, I started my uni education at Cal Poly SLO :-)
My Mom is a christian and my dad is more on the agnostic side but their primary motivation related more to their thoughts on child development than on moral protection. they had mild hippyish tendencies in their youth.
First
thanks!
