I tutor students that are homeschooled and it it so sweet to see how they are able to be their age, nit have too much to worry about, and are allowed to develop their own interests!!!
Right!!! I'm completely different than my homeschool friends. I sleep in, sometimes we start at 10AM and sometimes 2PM, and I prioritize going out and playdates. Do what you want
I was a school teacher and all that organization is about 1% of what I did. Definitely homeschool your kids. Love them, educate them, and be there for them. So many parents believe that school will take care of their learning, but this is a huge misconception and even an impossible task for teachers since we easily have over 100 students.
I do homeschool and I love it! I used to do full time public school, but it wasn’t the right fit for me so I am now at a Christian co-school which means I am homeschooled 3 days a week and I go into school for like 2 hours 2 times a week
In my state, they require the children to be in homeschool sessions during the exact hours that they would be in public school. It’s ridiculous. I haven’t started doing it yet but I’m looking for a way around this.
@klc7275 I know it seems ridiculous, but you can make it work. Take the core subjects and schedule them out. Schedule out bathroom breaks, brain breaks and transitions. These are all things that occur in brick and mortar school. Then align all of your life skills with subject matter. Making breakfast and lunch together can easily include math and science skills. Add PE, music and art classes, project based learning. Before you know it, there’s too much to fit in the day! Don’t forget the field trips to the libraries and museums. I wouldn’t stick rigidly to the schedule, as long as you get it in is what counts.
I love your setting!! We have a small house so we use our small dining room and table for everything. I homeschool 3 and 6 years old. Now I am expecting twins! 😂 I don't know if I can survive. Haha Thanks for the video
This is my first year homeschooling my 4 kiddos. I would love some recommendations on science & history curriculums for 1st and 2nd grade We are using the good and the beautiful for math and ELA I’m praying I get the hang of this 😅 You veteran homeschool moms are seriously hero’s! I admire you all so very much. Edit: looking for a simple history & science this year (books preferably) since we do have some online courses for those subjects but limited screen time is very important to me. Thanks 🙏
Homeschool mom of 1 kid. This is our 5th year and about to approach his sophomore year. We do early morning and mostly winter hours full time because he works part time.
Oh my goodness I homeschooled my son in first grade and he wanted to do nothing 😭 well long story short! The school in our area called him in to do a reading test, he knew nothing!! So when to school after Easter vacation, completed... Then started second grade and succeeded!! Now he's bored, so I decided to go with CCA wish me luck 👍
As a head covered, skirt wearing, homesteading, super crunchy Christian mom of five, I feel so bad that you felt like you “can’t “homeschool for so long! I feel like that was a lie that was whispered in your ear! Kids close to their mommies. But you conquered your fears, and everything is looking Awesome!
i want to homeschool so bad, its just my parents dont have enough money, im so tired of socializing of those students the same age as me, i feel like im out of place or im just too mature
@@NextLevelMeNowIt's entirely possible that your school district has a free online version of school available. Unfortunately you'll likely have to stick to their schedule so you wouldn't have the opportunity to graduate early if that's what you want, but it's an option.
I never thought of any of those reason that would make me feel like I cannot homeschool. For me, it’s me thinking that I didn’t go to college and not sure I am capable or “smart enough”. Also, I’m super undisciplined!!!!
undisciplined may be a problem, but not having a college education won't -- you can learn along with your child and/or enroll him in internet classes or co-ops
Definitely make sure you can keep at it (and/or admit if it doesn't end up working) before you commit! My mom burnt out by the time we got to multiplication, and up until this year (19) I never learned any science, history, never had p.e. or anything. The only reason I finished my education was because I enrolled in my community college's GED program. Homeschooling can be great in some circumstances and literally life-ruining in others, and a lot of that is up to the parents! Make sure that you're super prepared and have a backup plan or two ready to go when things get rough!
I pray to God I stay dedicated and learn how to do this so I can stay committed and keep my kids home schooled successfully and watch them grow into their best selves I love the video. 🖤
I am scared of being a bad mom because I’m don’t have a good education with school AT ALL…I’m more creative than smart with math and stuff…I guess I’m venting and I thought about doing online school when they need to get into non creative things after they’re done being a toddler to know more important thing and I can teach history im sure and cool creative chemistry DIYs but I don’t wanna be judged by people because someone else is teaching my children big things..I’d be there listening they will be by me as I cook and etc so I know they’re being smart and safe. I’m trying my best to be good for the future but it’s so very stress learning the stuff in schools they teach nowadays it’s so unnecessary to know : ( and draining but once I get a laptop and stuff I wanna tru ti find a good program to catch up on basics I need to know…
I am a single mom of one amazing son. I am also a teacher. My son is homeschooled. He has gone to public school and it just wasn't for him. I know that he would not do well if I was his teacher. So he attends school online. He likes to do his school work late in the evening and sleep in. I teach online and in on Outschool which is another great option for homeschoolers or any kids 3 to 18. My son is 18 and will graduate high school in four weeks. He also played varsity baseball all through high school. He played on a high school team that played against all the high schools in our area that he would have played against if he attend a brick and mortar high school. There are so many options.i said I would never homeschool. Never say never.
Not once did I think I don't want to be a homeschool mum because I have to drive a van and have long skirts and s*** NO!!! I don't know where the hell people get that idea that's what people think about homschooling, all I kept thinking of home schooling is "s*** am I going to fail my children? Could I be organised enough to teach 4 children with different disabilities everything they need to know?"
Have a private school kiddo that will be going into 6 grade curriculum. 1st year homeschooling. I would appreciate ideas of which curriculums mommas use for this grade. Can you mix and match?
I’d lose my mind doing this and the kids wouldn’t be socialised properly. That said modern schools are cesspits and their ideologies destroy a child’s in once. If you can do this then do it for those reasons. I take my hat off to those who do.
do you really think children in public schools learn how to socialize with others? Home school children have opportunities in coops , volunteering positions, they are involved in their community and working while their public school counterparts are in school dealing with drama.
I don't fit in out homeschool community bc we are not religious. It's hard finding secular families to connect with..luckily my son has friends of varying ages ans extra curriculars he loves doing.
I dated someone who was homeschooled. He was 18 and didn't know anything about the native American genocide didn't know "Japs" was a slur and didn't know about the moon landing 😐. Not even gonna bring up how weirdly homophobic he was and socially stunted he was on top of being a biblical literlist who couldn't do his times tables. If you're gonna homeschool, dont cherrypick knowledge. Kids aren't vanity projects because they leave that bubble eventually and they suffer greatly because of it. Please take home schooling seriously if your serious, there are kids that do need it and are special cases. Its not a DIY quarky brainwashing kids power play. I just feel like i need to say this because ive seen what bad home schooling looks like to anyone who may be reading.
I’m so terrified of the options and some of the community. They’re all using Christian based ones that are very heavy-handed. And so many of them are out of date
I'd homeschool if I had kids. The public school I live near is completely unacceptable to me, due to my very bad experience there. In addition, the good private schools are nearly an hour away. So, if I couldn't move, I'd homeschool... One doesn't have to be an alt-right evangelical who doesn't believe in teaching real science to be a homeschooler.
Why do you think siblings don't count as people? And why do you think homeschooled children aren't socialized? Why do you think public school kids are well socialized?
@@josuegalvez1 sign your kids up for K12 program. It's completely free and they send you everything you need. They have amazing teachers that teach your kids on the computer. My kids absolutely love it
@@josuegalvez1absolutely not omg!! Just look up how to register and YOURSELF as a homeschool! There’s tutorials that will walk you through the entire thing it’s great! I know it feels like it might be hard or that there’s a ton of work involved but there really isn’t when it’s broken down for you! Then you can just print out a couple of papers, fill those out and literally if your an in person type, walk right into the actual public school where their going or email them. In person usually works way faster obviously. Then make a request for all your child’s records at local school district and they HAVE to get all the files from when they were little ready for you to pick up. Everyone was super nice and I didn’t get anyone putting up a fight or get a single glare for taking my child out so don’t be afraid!! ❤
I love this so much. I was homeschooled and now am in my early 20s getting my masters degree. I hope someday to be a homeschool mom, but definitely don't fit into the typical stereotype! My mom was a wonderful homeschool mom who reminds me so much of you! You inspire me!
@@dasaadzidk if your still considering homeschooling but as a homeschooler myself I have not felt bad whatsoever. I’m almost done with the grade I’m in, and it’s all gonna be worth it. I would say that if your kid is older and they don’t have a phone yet I would invest in one because that’s the only way I talk to old friends. If your kid is young then Co-oPs. But generally I think if they’re in school and they enjoy it then I wouldn’t recommend, but if it’s easier for you I would talk to your child and tell them about the idea. Also figure out the laws in your state for homeschoolers because some states are stricter than others. (I use Power Homeschool btw, it eliminates teaching them yourself. If you want accredited I would do Acellus, it’s more expensive but it’s worth it) Feel free to ask questions and I hope this helps!
@@kayaissimohey I know this is 2 months old. I’d like to homeschool my kids. The program you use is it a monthly payment or like yearly ? I’m pricing so many. Thank you if you end up seeing this.
@@WaxingGibbous170 yes! My program is 25 dollars a month and it includes 7 max classes. Although a downside is that it isn’t accredited for high school and you’ll need to do Acellus Academy if your planning to homeschool your kids in high school.
I can agree. After 11 years of homeschooling, I have finally learned to “let my hair down”, because I was so rigid and trying to mimic the public school system that I experienced a burn out starting 3 years ago. I have slowly come out of the burn out, but I just do what is best for us and strongly emphasize life applicable skills because that is reality. My oldest will be 18 soon and graduating from homeschool so I guess I did ok 🤭😂. I do tell him that is learning, wisdom, and knowledge is a life long achievement. You NEVER stop learning.
Thanks for this, it’s easy to get discouraged when you don’t fit the “mold”. My husband is a fireman, and I’m a nurse. Yet we homeschool our kids and live in the city. Like you said do what works for your family! Highly recommend reading the book Anyone Can Homeschool. It’s a wonderful Christian book that pretty much gives no excuses as to why we can’t homeschool. We can do it! ❤
As a former homeschool kid, I cannot stress this enough SOCIALIZE YOUR KIDS. Their siblings are not equivalent to a friend group. Sports are not enough. You as the parent will need to actively put in the work to put your kids in regular contact with other kids their age.
True. Or just put them in actual school. Where they aren’t being deprived of that chance to experience school and be taught by actual teachers many of whom have masters degrees, and specialize in one subject.
@@Jenny-ls7hf I asked to be Homeschooled because of public school shootings. I expect homeschoolers to be held to the same academic standards as public schoolers, but I wouldn't tell them they must attend a popular target zone if they don't want to.
Same can be said for public schoolers. Do you know how many kids go to public school and have ZERO social life? I think this is a problem within our culture. We no longer connect in real life nor do things together as neighbors and as a community. 😢
Don’t try to run your homeschool like traditional school. The biggest reward from homeschooling is you being your child’s greatest influence instead of their peers. I homeschooled two and people are surprised when learning that they were homeschooled. Every child has different needs.
Sorry but the thing about homeschool is that you run it how it works best for your family! Yet homeschool moms come in and ruin it saying you need to unschool or do Charlotte Mason etc…each family is unique and so is each child. We’ve homeschooled 3 years. I’m not new and this works well for us. The curriculums I use are a blend of Charlotte Mason and more traditional and include hands-on things as well. You can’t judge someone’s life or homeschool off of a 30sec video
@@AshbayFam You misunderstood what I was saying. I agree that you should do what works for your family. From my experience when I first started homeschooling my children 12 years ago, I was trying to teach them like they would be taught at traditional school and it was exhausting for them. I broke it down to 2-3 subjects a day and gave them half days on Friday and I received a better response. I said nothing about unschooling. As a result, my oldest is fluent in Japanese, German, and Spanish. My youngest was reading at a college level when he was 9 and is a black belt about to graduate as a martial arts instructor at 16. I wanted them to have a chance to discover their passions.
@@AshbayFam She was not judging you; she was contributing to your message about trying according to your individual needs. Nuance sometimes gets lost in text.
@@newdayze3717 what did you us3 to teach reading? I have so many things it's hard to keep on one thing I have teaching your child to read and 100 lessons I have Bob books I have hooked on phonics. I jave teach ypu child to read in 20 lessons. All about spelling. And then we just read books togetber. Its so hard to stick wigh one. Whay did you wnd up doing to teach child to read by age 9? Thats incredible
Read the book “hold on to your kids” (by G.Neufeld and G.Maté) to learn more about why society pressures parents so much to “socialize” their kids by exposing them to peers. Kids do not have to be surrounded by kids every single day to be “socialized” and I really wish people would stop threatening parents with that.
As someone who was homeschooled k-12 I **strongly** disagree. It was genuinely traumatizing only ever being able to talk to my family (I know how silly that sounds, but I literally have to be medicated for this) and literally nobody else, and almost all of my mental health issues link back to my social isolation. If I'm by myself for more than 5 minutes I immediately start to dissociate because my brain can't handle the stress of being alone. I do agree that there are some situations where homeschooling is 100% necessary, but isolating your children will never not hurt them. Find someone like-minded, find homeschool-specific clubs if you must, but make sure that they have a chance to make (irl) friends because I was literally suicidal at 10 over this shit
@@firstnamelastname-vf1nd I’m sorry you felt neglected by your mom but I never said children should be isolated. My point is that kids don’t need to be around peers every single day. My kids are involved in extra curricular activities like sports, and other activities offered by our community. They’re around peers they know and trust multiple days a week, but kids do not need to be surrounded by kids their age for 6-8 hours a day, Monday through Friday to be “socialized”.
I homeschool my kiddos. What would you say are your favorite parts of homeschooling? What does your mom do that makes you appreciate homeschooling? Would you change anything?
@@lmcr9903 um I really I can spend more time with my mom and also some curriculum i use is for math I use Saxon we do something in notgrass and I like everything we do we even go to the co-op on Fridays
@@lmcr9903I know I’m not her but I’ll gladly answer -I understand curriculum, and the teachers are in the screen so they can’t verbally hiss at you when you’re getting bored and fidgeting and things. Also finishing 2-5 months early -my mom pitched the idea, didn’t like it at first. Got severely depressed and burnt out and now I can take breaks whenever I want to. -I would change that my homeschool program doesn’t actually tell you what grade you’re in. But other than that I’m good lol
I'm going to give you all some advice. I was homeschooled until 5th grade and was given little to no social interaction. My eldest brother had plenty, but my siblings and I didn't have all that much. We were just expected to cheer on our brother while all of our interests weren't considered. I wanted to play soccer but they wouldn't let me. They would let me do art related activities, but they wouldn't let me do sports or join any clubs. Even those didn't last long and I was a good kid. My siblings got to do 4-H. I didn't. I couldn't really do anything since I was "young". The only people I got to talk to were adults and even then I couldn't talk to them. I didn't really have people I could call my "friends". Then they would get mad whenever my siblings made friends online. If you shelter them to the point where they have to beg to go outside, don't get angry when they make friends online. Along with that I didn't get a good education during those years. I was just expected to "know". I had to read and just "know". I didn't get help with my school work and I didn't know what was going on. I would ask my parents and they wouldn't really do anything. All the attention went to my siblings because they had autism and disabilities. I was just forgotten because I wasn't disabled. After spending years convincing them, I finally was able to go to private school before moving to a public school. Then whenever I was behind and the way they taught school, they would get mad at my grades even though it was completely their fault I was struggling. I was trying...really! Here is some advice: When you homeschool, make sure it's the best thing to do for your kids. It's great you want to challenge your kids and give them the best education possible, but if they don't have any friends and can't go out and do stuff, it's not worth it. Your kids will grow up to be miserable and lonely just like I did. Trust me. If you can't balance your child's social and academic life, it's probably best to enroll them in a private or public school. Homeschooling isn't for everyone just like public schooling isn't for everyone. Also, STICK WITH IT. Let your kids engage in the activity. Don't just set them in front of a computer or book all day. That only hurts them. Instead, actually teach and then have them do that stuff. Let them ask questions. Let them ask for help. Let them do projects. Let them have friends. Let them do different things. If you chose to homeschool your kids, there should be no reason you can't let them have a good social life. No excuses.
I am sorry to you experienced that. That seems very tough situation. I wish your parents were there to help you with your needs. I was not homeschooled. I live in a country where homeschooling is banned still. I went to private boarding school for 12 years. And I had a very tough experience there. Struggle of connecting with friends. I felt very isolated and lonely. I had opportunity to join clubs and other things, which I was grateful for, but socialization is not promised just because you go to normal school. My struggle also comes from my parents who were not so interested in my life, but there are many sides to this problem, not just homeschooling or traditional school. The most important thing is for children to know their parents care and love them. Without that, socialization is hard even where there is people around you I hope you are doing well now
@@kinakonako360 This is so true. I'm not sure why home-schooled people assume that public and private school are so much better. As someone that has experience with private and public school I would have gladly been home-schooled instead. The "friends" and "socializing" in school are not as important as one would think. Even the most popular people all forget each other and move on with their lives. We will meet hundreds, if not thousands of people in our lifetimes and not even be able to recall all of their names. The love of good parents is far more important. Not peers. Not even how much stuff we learn in school... Because let's be real, we forget a lot of that also. What better way to be a good parent than to spend time with your child, educating them personally? In any case, my very best friend is the Lord Jesus Christ and He has never, ever let me down. He is the only one that gave His life for all of us. John 15:13 KJV - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
I am so sorry you had to live in a country in which your parents were allowed to do this and you ( and your disabled siblings as well) did not have the right to a formal education. Much love from EU.❤
@@kathrinscharrer3923 The original purpose of the US education system was to teach people to read so that they could have the freedom to read the Bible for themselves. Everything is so backwards now that education trains people to turn their back on their Creator. Public and private schooling did nothing for me other than waste years of my life that I wish I could get back. Praise the Lord that the "indoctrination" didn't work. 1 Corinthians 1:20-21 KJV [20]Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? [21]For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
You're amazing. It was my wish to homeschool mine but unfortunately my husband didn't agree. However now my oldest child is finishing their primary education we are both in agreement for home learning for secondary education. I'm feeling very overwhelmed atm with never having done it before and having to start out with a 12 yr old.
@@user-lt1jd1ye3v going to public schools does not promise socialization. There’s a loneliness epidemic among kids that are not homeschooled, 73% of Gen Z say they feel alone. Whether a child is homeschooled or not, a parent must be intentional on mediating their kid’s socialization. Public Schools will not do that for kids naturally.
I was homeschooled k-12 and I will probably be in therapy a lot longer than that in order to detangle a lot of the damage. My mom thought having me una few coops here and there, but it’s truly an isolating experience to be home all day. Think of what the shutdown felt like, but with no end in sight till you graduate.
I’m sorry you had that experience. My kids have co-op, play dates, church, church group with friends, and multiple sports. We actually just went to cheer on my sons friends who play football tonight. So while I’m sorry you had a bad experience, that is not every homeschool experience 🤗
Homeschooling mothers should not have to feel like they need to list out all the busyness to prove themselves. People can be just as isolated and damaged (if not more) going to public school. Those who were homeschooled all their lives often have the “grass is greener” mentality about public schoolers because they just DON’T know. I went to public school, private school, and was homeschooled, so I have experienced it all. The grass is NOT greener on any particular side. You have to make the most of what you have, and refrain from that victim mentality so you can constantly move forward. If you feel like you had a “damaging” life experience, it’s so easy to blame our parents for sending us to public school, private school, or homeschooling us, etc. None of us have perfect lives. So go ahead and get your therapy. I’ve had clinical therapy for MUCH worse than being a bored homeschooler. And even much worse than bloody fights and bomb threats at the elementary school I worked at in 2008. Therapy for things that had nothing to do with my “schooling”. And living in Parkland, FL when the MSD shooting happened, my friends who were mothers of those public school students who attended that school, who watched their public school friends get murdered are STILL in therapy. Therapy for homeschoolers, therapy for public schoolers, doesn’t matter. We ALL need it for something.
@@JuniperLynn789considering how unwilling you were to show basic empathy to someone sharing their trauma, I'm really praying that your kids have someone else to go to (not that you should have to list the people in their lives! I know you're sensitive to that 🫠) when they're having issues. Sadly considering how defensive you got there, I'm not sure I can really bet on that. Hope they can still have a good life regardless of your lacking emotional intelligence
Hey genwithag , let me guess you weren’t homeschooled ? Guess what, you aren’t an adult who was homeschooled their whole life so you don’t get to tell everyone how they should feel about their own experience. I was homeschooled k-12 and I am NEVER homeschooling my kids in middle and high school due to how lonely and isolating it is. It is HARDLY ideal.
😂 I fit all of the homeschooling mom stereotypes you mentioned, but I love it. Those all developed after my decision to homeschool was solidified when I was in college. Your last tip about making the curriculum work for you and your kids is absolutely critical.
You didn’t mention the single biggest clique in homeschooling - fundamentalist religion. You can’t be in most of those groups if you don’t fit their particular belief niche, and that’s most homeschool groups. Especially in rural areas.
Thank you!! You’re superwoman and I definitely want to look into homeschooling as an option! It now seems possible to me because of your encouragement!
She could absolutely give her kids proper education with the correct recorcess, there are many books, online courses, and other things that are available to homeschoolers. I've been homeschooled most of my life and I'm educated just fine
Dude it’s not her teaching mostly she goes off a curriculum that she already knows and it’s so much better for the child because the mom knows how the kid learns
I’m planning on homeschooling this fall and I might do that with all of my kids. I’m so nervous about it but I think it would be best for our family. This is so encouraging!! I need all the advice. I love how organized you are.
nervousness is normal for doing anything new! You can do it ! Spend the next few months researching, looking into home school groups in your area ! (BTW, I am not homeschooling children but if I had school age children, I certainly would be doing it!
First off I want to say that I think you are amazing and such an inspiration 🙌🏼💗 I am a stay at home mom of 3 and this was my first year homeschooling. I have a 6 year old who is very mildly autistic and most of his issues are adhd associated. I have seen that your son has adhd and I wanted to ask if you have any tips you can possibly share? They would be so greatly appreciated. God Bless ❤
I homeschool and love your set up. Our space is limited, but you do what you have to. I graduated 3 of my 5. I absolutely love homeschooling. I’ve been homeschooling since 2017 and It’s so rewarding. You’re right, it can be customizable to what you want it to be.
To brainwash their kids and keep them isolated from people who don't think like them. For some parents it's a powerplay thing to have a mini them. For others it's a serious commitment to help their specal needs children to learn in a space that will go at a pace that doesn't leave them behind.
Could you do a video about materials that are actually needed or helpful for homeschooling littles? I just got the ESA grant and I want to spend it wisely. I don’t want to get a bunch of stuff I don’t actually need
Haha I grew up homeschooled and the first thing I got from people when I told them so was “You don’t look like a homeschooler.” And then “But you are so social” yes my mom homeschooled us the right way haha we are well educated (don’t judge that by my typing skills) and socially normal. I am so glad I was homeschooled and I am homeschooling my 7 year old in the same model my mother did. This girl functions extremely well in the world
I feel like this is an outdated stereotype. What I wish people knew is that homeschool isn't just for middle class and above with resources to buy buy buy. Homeschooling can be down if one is in the lower class, government assistance class on very low resources. You do NOT need to purchase so many workbooks, textbooks, etc. The lower class doesn't have homes with space to keep so many books or have the means to purchase all the fancy pretty books in vogue in the homeschool community. Online it appears homeschooling isn't for the lower classes. It is. It can be done. All these nice, pretty fancy things aren't necessary. Homeschool has become a bustling business.
I want to get to know a homeschool mom that has never been a teacher, but yet homeschooled because if you already been a teacher, you know lots of stuff and you somehow got your own knowledge and way how to do things, but if you are a uneducated person that wants to educate yourself to educate their kids it’s harder, so do you know someone that it’s not a teacher that never teach before but once to teach herself and their kids?????
I pray you all in the comments come to know Our Lord And Savior, Jesus Christ. God loves you. Jesus Christ loves you. The Holy Spirit Loves you. I love you As A Brother Or Sister In Christ. Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, and rose again, so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. I want to see you in heaven. I Pray As Many People As Possible Come To Know Our Lord. I Pray We All Grow Closer To Our Lord. God bless and have a good day
I hate school I hate going I hate everything about it I’ve always wanted to be home school but I have a lot of friends I don’t want to loose but I would love to be homeschooled

I love your setting!! We have a small house so we use our small dining room and table for everything. I homeschool 3 and 6 years old. Now I am expecting twins! 😂 I don't know if I can survive. Haha
Thanks for the video
I don't fit the stereotypes either, but i never really cared. Lol I'm a happy, homeschooling Mama to 6, in our 4th year of Homeschooling! ❤
This is my first year homeschooling my 4 kiddos.
I would love some recommendations on science & history curriculums for 1st and 2nd grade
We are using the good and the beautiful for math and ELA
I’m praying I get the hang of this 😅
You veteran homeschool moms are seriously hero’s! I admire you all so very much.
Edit: looking for a simple history & science this year (books preferably) since we do have some online courses for those subjects but limited screen time is very important to me.
Thanks 🙏
We are using TGATB for science for my 2nd graders and BJUPress for their social studies 🤗
Homeschool mom of 1 kid. This is our 5th year and about to approach his sophomore year. We do early morning and mostly winter hours full time because he works part time.
😂😂😂 it was the crunchy mom for me. 🎉🎉
I love your homeschool room ❤
How did you all get started with homeschooling? I want to start for my son who is five and has ADHD and a High functioning autism sweetheart.
Oh my goodness I homeschooled my son in first grade and he wanted to do nothing 😭 well long story short! The school in our area called him in to do a reading test, he knew nothing!! So when to school after Easter vacation, completed...
Then started second grade and succeeded!!
Now he's bored, so I decided to go with CCA wish me luck 👍
Love the set up, so nice!
As a head covered, skirt wearing, homesteading, super crunchy Christian mom of five, I feel so bad that you felt like you “can’t “homeschool for so long! I feel like that was a lie that was whispered in your ear! Kids close to their mommies. But you conquered your fears, and everything is looking Awesome!
Beautiful homeschool space!
Amen Momma!!!!!!! We use the good &t he beautiful too!!! ❤❤❤
i want to homeschool so bad, its just my parents dont have enough money, im so tired of socializing of those students the same age as me, i feel like im out of place or im just too mature
There are completely free homeschooling curriculum online you can homeschool 😊 talk to your Mom about it and look them up
I did not know that , thank you!
@@NextLevelMeNowIt's entirely possible that your school district has a free online version of school available.
Unfortunately you'll likely have to stick to their schedule so you wouldn't have the opportunity to graduate early if that's what you want, but it's an option.
I never thought of any of those reason that would make me feel like I cannot homeschool. For me, it’s me thinking that I didn’t go to college and not sure I am capable or “smart enough”. Also, I’m super undisciplined!!!!
undisciplined may be a problem, but not having a college education won't -- you can learn along with your child and/or enroll him in internet classes or co-ops
Definitely make sure you can keep at it (and/or admit if it doesn't end up working) before you commit! My mom burnt out by the time we got to multiplication, and up until this year (19) I never learned any science, history, never had p.e. or anything. The only reason I finished my education was because I enrolled in my community college's GED program. Homeschooling can be great in some circumstances and literally life-ruining in others, and a lot of that is up to the parents! Make sure that you're super prepared and have a backup plan or two ready to go when things get rough!
Hi im new to homeschool i just finished the paperwork process
I pray to God I stay dedicated and learn how to do this so I can stay committed and keep my kids home schooled successfully and watch them grow into their best selves I love the video. 🖤
Question: what homeschool curriculum would you recommend for preschool?
The world ❤
The good and the beautiful. It's amazing.
I second the good and beautiful!
We love Preschool Prep! Proven results: our kiddo was saying the English alphabet by 18 months.
I am scared of being a bad mom because I’m don’t have a good education with school AT ALL…I’m more creative than smart with math and stuff…I guess I’m venting and I thought about doing online school when they need to get into non creative things after they’re done being a toddler to know more important thing and I can teach history im sure and cool creative chemistry DIYs but I don’t wanna be judged by people because someone else is teaching my children big things..I’d be there listening they will be by me as I cook and etc so I know they’re being smart and safe.
I’m trying my best to be good for the future but it’s so very stress learning the stuff in schools they teach nowadays it’s so unnecessary to know : ( and draining but once I get a laptop and stuff I wanna tru ti find a good program to catch up on basics I need to know…
Thanks for what you said at the end.
Hi!
Can you tell me where you purchased the bookshelf?
Thanks
Thank you , very helpful
Please do an updated curriculum video! 🙏🏼😊
Hi! May I ask where you bought your homeschool planner?
I am a single mom of one amazing son. I am also a teacher. My son is homeschooled. He has gone to public school and it just wasn't for him. I know that he would not do well if I was his teacher. So he attends school online. He likes to do his school work late in the evening and sleep in. I teach online and in on Outschool which is another great option for homeschoolers or any kids 3 to 18. My son is 18 and will graduate high school in four weeks. He also played varsity baseball all through high school. He played on a high school team that played against all the high schools in our area that he would have played against if he attend a brick and mortar high school. There are so many options.i said I would never homeschool. Never say never.
Not once did I think I don't want to be a homeschool mum because I have to drive a van and have long skirts and s*** NO!!! I don't know where the hell people get that idea that's what people think about homschooling, all I kept thinking of home schooling is "s*** am I going to fail my children? Could I be organised enough to teach 4 children with different disabilities everything they need to know?"
Will you be doing a video of the curriculum that you use or will be using for the upcoming school year?!?
Room is awesome
Thank you!
❤❤ Where are the kids table and chair from??
LOL did she say a "crunchy" mom??? 😅
Have a private school kiddo that will be going into 6 grade curriculum. 1st year homeschooling. I would appreciate ideas of which curriculums mommas use for this grade. Can you mix and match?
Watch the video “Flavors of Homeschooling” before looking into specific curriculum.
@@TS-ls9cp thank you!
I’d lose my mind doing this and the kids wouldn’t be socialised properly. That said modern schools are cesspits and their ideologies destroy a child’s in once. If you can do this then do it for those reasons. I take my hat off to those who do.
do you really think children in public schools learn how to socialize with others? Home school children have opportunities in coops , volunteering positions, they are involved in their community and working while their public school counterparts are in school dealing with drama.
I don't fit in out homeschool community bc we are not religious. It's hard finding secular families to connect with..luckily my son has friends of varying ages ans extra curriculars he loves doing.
I dated someone who was homeschooled. He was 18 and didn't know anything about the native American genocide didn't know "Japs" was a slur and didn't know about the moon landing 😐. Not even gonna bring up how weirdly homophobic he was and socially stunted he was on top of being a biblical literlist who couldn't do his times tables.
If you're gonna homeschool, dont cherrypick knowledge. Kids aren't vanity projects because they leave that bubble eventually and they suffer greatly because of it.
Please take home schooling seriously if your serious, there are kids that do need it and are special cases. Its not a DIY quarky brainwashing kids power play.
I just feel like i need to say this because ive seen what bad home schooling looks like to anyone who may be reading.
We do unschooling and absolutely love it!
I'd like to try this method. I live in rural southeastern Colorado, so there is limited outdoor activities especially living in town.
@@NormieNeko we drive truck with the kids full time and also have limited outside time. This helps a ton to have the flexibility
I’m so terrified of the options and some of the community. They’re all using Christian based ones that are very heavy-handed. And so many of them are out of date
I'd homeschool if I had kids. The public school I live near is completely unacceptable to me, due to my very bad experience there. In addition, the good private schools are nearly an hour away. So, if I couldn't move, I'd homeschool... One doesn't have to be an alt-right evangelical who doesn't believe in teaching real science to be a homeschooler.
where is your kids desk from?
I have everything available in my ltk shop! 🤗 just download the free ltk app and search “unexpected.blessings”
@AshbayFam Thank you! Was searching for this response. I appreciate your willingness to share with us.
How does home schooling work
💙💙💙💜💜💛💛💛💛
But I don’t have a huge house. 😑
use your kitchen table
i don’t appreciate you calling mormon women crunchy lol. very disrespectful
Kids WANT to go to school! They WANT to be socialized and make friends. Siblings do NOT count!
Why do you think siblings don't count as people? And why do you think homeschooled children aren't socialized? Why do you think public school kids are well socialized?
Who on earth thinks they have to fill a stereotype wow low self esteem
I do actually struggle with that. Have my whole life because my dad was ab*sive. Way to spread kindness. 🤗
I've been homeschooling my kids for 5 years now and they absolutely love it. Best decision we've made as a family
How you do that ? Do you need a degree ?
@@josuegalvez1 sign your kids up for K12 program. It's completely free and they send you everything you need. They have amazing teachers that teach your kids on the computer. My kids absolutely love it
@@josuegalvez1absolutely not omg!!
Just look up how to register and YOURSELF as a homeschool!
There’s tutorials that will walk you through the entire thing it’s great!
I know it feels like it might be hard or that there’s a ton of work involved but there really isn’t when it’s broken down for you!
Then you can just print out a couple of papers, fill those out and literally if your an in person type, walk right into the actual public school where their going or email them. In person usually works way faster obviously.
Then make a request for all your child’s records at local school district and they HAVE to get all the files from when they were little ready for you to pick up. Everyone was super nice and I didn’t get anyone putting up a fight or get a single glare for taking my child out so don’t be afraid!!
❤
@@josuegalvez1nope! Just make sure what your states laws are and you can go ahead!
How can I get a bilingual curriculum because English is my second language and I'm afraid I will not be good at it.
I love this so much. I was homeschooled and now am in my early 20s getting my masters degree. I hope someday to be a homeschool mom, but definitely don't fit into the typical stereotype! My mom was a wonderful homeschool mom who reminds me so much of you! You inspire me!
Did you ever feel you missed out on school? I am so glad to hear this as I am considering homeschoolinh my son but scared he will hate me!
@@dasaadzidk if your still considering homeschooling but as a homeschooler myself I have not felt bad whatsoever. I’m almost done with the grade I’m in, and it’s all gonna be worth it.
I would say that if your kid is older and they don’t have a phone yet I would invest in one because that’s the only way I talk to old friends.
If your kid is young then Co-oPs. But generally I think if they’re in school and they enjoy it then I wouldn’t recommend, but if it’s easier for you I would talk to your child and tell them about the idea.
Also figure out the laws in your state for homeschoolers because some states are stricter than others.
(I use Power Homeschool btw, it eliminates teaching them yourself. If you want accredited I would do Acellus, it’s more expensive but it’s worth it)
Feel free to ask questions and I hope this helps!
@@kayaissimohey I know this is 2 months old. I’d like to homeschool my kids. The program you use is it a monthly payment or like yearly ? I’m pricing so many. Thank you if you end up seeing this.
@@WaxingGibbous170 yes! My program is 25 dollars a month and it includes 7 max classes.
Although a downside is that it isn’t accredited for high school and you’ll need to do Acellus Academy if your planning to homeschool your kids in high school.
Thanks for saying “Your curriculum works for you”😂😂
I always get caught up on this haha
I can agree. After 11 years of homeschooling, I have finally learned to “let my hair down”, because I was so rigid and trying to mimic the public school system that I experienced a burn out starting 3 years ago. I have slowly come out of the burn out, but I just do what is best for us and strongly emphasize life applicable skills because that is reality. My oldest will be 18 soon and graduating from homeschool so I guess I did ok 🤭😂. I do tell him that is learning, wisdom, and knowledge is a life long achievement. You NEVER stop learning.
Wow! Congratulations!!! And wow!!
Thanks for this, it’s easy to get discouraged when you don’t fit the “mold”. My husband is a fireman, and I’m a nurse. Yet we homeschool our kids and live in the city. Like you said do what works for your family! Highly recommend reading the book Anyone Can Homeschool. It’s a wonderful Christian book that pretty much gives no excuses as to why we can’t homeschool. We can do it! ❤
As a former homeschool kid, I cannot stress this enough SOCIALIZE YOUR KIDS. Their siblings are not equivalent to a friend group.
Sports are not enough.
You as the parent will need to actively put in the work to put your kids in regular contact with other kids their age.
Yes!!!! I was homeschooled for 6&7th grade (COVID, and yes, I was actually homeschooled, I was not doing e learning) and I 100% agree
True. Or just put them in actual school. Where they aren’t being deprived of that chance to experience school and be taught by actual teachers many of whom have masters degrees, and specialize in one subject.
@@Jenny-ls7hf I asked to be Homeschooled because of public school shootings. I expect homeschoolers to be held to the same academic standards as public schoolers, but I wouldn't tell them they must attend a popular target zone if they don't want to.
Same can be said for public schoolers. Do you know how many kids go to public school and have ZERO social life? I think this is a problem within our culture. We no longer connect in real life nor do things together as neighbors and as a community. 😢
Agreed!!!
Don’t try to run your homeschool like traditional school. The biggest reward from homeschooling is you being your child’s greatest influence instead of their peers. I homeschooled two and people are surprised when learning that they were homeschooled. Every child has different needs.
Sorry but the thing about homeschool is that you run it how it works best for your family! Yet homeschool moms come in and ruin it saying you need to unschool or do Charlotte Mason etc…each family is unique and so is each child. We’ve homeschooled 3 years. I’m not new and this works well for us. The curriculums I use are a blend of Charlotte Mason and more traditional and include hands-on things as well. You can’t judge someone’s life or homeschool off of a 30sec video
@@AshbayFam You misunderstood what I was saying. I agree that you should do what works for your family. From my experience when I first started homeschooling my children 12 years ago, I was trying to teach them like they would be taught at traditional school and it was exhausting for them. I broke it down to 2-3 subjects a day and gave them half days on Friday and I received a better response. I said nothing about unschooling. As a result, my oldest is fluent in Japanese, German, and Spanish. My youngest was reading at a college level when he was 9 and is a black belt about to graduate as a martial arts instructor at 16. I wanted them to have a chance to discover their passions.

Thats incredible
@@sarahs7253 Find out what your child is interested in and they will love reading that. Center their learning around their interests.
Read the book “hold on to your kids” (by G.Neufeld and G.Maté) to learn more about why society pressures parents so much to “socialize” their kids by exposing them to peers. Kids do not have to be surrounded by kids every single day to be “socialized” and I really wish people would stop threatening parents with that.
I'm definitely getting the book.
As someone who was homeschooled k-12 I **strongly** disagree. It was genuinely traumatizing only ever being able to talk to my family (I know how silly that sounds, but I literally have to be medicated for this) and literally nobody else, and almost all of my mental health issues link back to my social isolation. If I'm by myself for more than 5 minutes I immediately start to dissociate because my brain can't handle the stress of being alone. I do agree that there are some situations where homeschooling is 100% necessary, but isolating your children will never not hurt them. Find someone like-minded, find homeschool-specific clubs if you must, but make sure that they have a chance to make (irl) friends because I was literally suicidal at 10 over this shit
@@firstnamelastname-vf1nd where did I say that it was good to isolate your kids?
@@MrsHousemaam not directly but the wording of your comment is the exact way my mom would always excuse it.
@@firstnamelastname-vf1nd I’m sorry you felt neglected by your mom but I never said children should be isolated. My point is that kids don’t need to be around peers every single day. My kids are involved in extra curricular activities like sports, and other activities offered by our community. They’re around peers they know and trust multiple days a week, but kids do not need to be surrounded by kids their age for 6-8 hours a day, Monday through Friday to be “socialized”.
I’m homeschooled and I love it we wake up at like 7:00 and then we start at 8:00 and normally end at like 12:30 /1:00

@@lmcr9903I know I’m not her but I’ll gladly answer
-I understand curriculum, and the teachers are in the screen so they can’t verbally hiss at you when you’re getting bored and fidgeting and things. Also finishing 2-5 months early
-my mom pitched the idea, didn’t like it at first. Got severely depressed and burnt out and now I can take breaks whenever I want to.
-I would change that my homeschool program doesn’t actually tell you what grade you’re in. But other than that I’m good lol
Thanks for sharing momma ❤️🙏🏿! I’m a mom of 5 also 🤗, currently homeschooling 2 children. The rest are babies 😅!
So many people need to hear this!! ♥️
I agree!!
I'm going to give you all some advice. I was homeschooled until 5th grade and was given little to no social interaction. My eldest brother had plenty, but my siblings and I didn't have all that much. We were just expected to cheer on our brother while all of our interests weren't considered. I wanted to play soccer but they wouldn't let me. They would let me do art related activities, but they wouldn't let me do sports or join any clubs. Even those didn't last long and I was a good kid. My siblings got to do 4-H. I didn't. I couldn't really do anything since I was "young". The only people I got to talk to were adults and even then I couldn't talk to them. I didn't really have people I could call my "friends". Then they would get mad whenever my siblings made friends online. If you shelter them to the point where they have to beg to go outside, don't get angry when they make friends online.
Along with that I didn't get a good education during those years. I was just expected to "know". I had to read and just "know". I didn't get help with my school work and I didn't know what was going on. I would ask my parents and they wouldn't really do anything. All the attention went to my siblings because they had autism and disabilities. I was just forgotten because I wasn't disabled.
After spending years convincing them, I finally was able to go to private school before moving to a public school. Then whenever I was behind and the way they taught school, they would get mad at my grades even though it was completely their fault I was struggling. I was trying...really!
Here is some advice: When you homeschool, make sure it's the best thing to do for your kids. It's great you want to challenge your kids and give them the best education possible, but if they don't have any friends and can't go out and do stuff, it's not worth it. Your kids will grow up to be miserable and lonely just like I did. Trust me. If you can't balance your child's social and academic life, it's probably best to enroll them in a private or public school. Homeschooling isn't for everyone just like public schooling isn't for everyone. Also, STICK WITH IT. Let your kids engage in the activity. Don't just set them in front of a computer or book all day. That only hurts them. Instead, actually teach and then have them do that stuff. Let them ask questions. Let them ask for help. Let them do projects. Let them have friends. Let them do different things. If you chose to homeschool your kids, there should be no reason you can't let them have a good social life. No excuses.
I am sorry to you experienced that. That seems very tough situation. I wish your parents were there to help you with your needs.
I was not homeschooled. I live in a country where homeschooling is banned still. I went to private boarding school for 12 years. And I had a very tough experience there. Struggle of connecting with friends. I felt very isolated and lonely. I had opportunity to join clubs and other things, which I was grateful for, but socialization is not promised just because you go to normal school. My struggle also comes from my parents who were not so interested in my life, but there are many sides to this problem, not just homeschooling or traditional school. The most important thing is for children to know their parents care and love them. Without that, socialization is hard even where there is people around you
I hope you are doing well now
@@kinakonako360
This is so true. I'm not sure why home-schooled people assume that public and private school are so much better. As someone that has experience with private and public school I would have gladly been home-schooled instead. The "friends" and "socializing" in school are not as important as one would think. Even the most popular people all forget each other and move on with their lives. We will meet hundreds, if not thousands of people in our lifetimes and not even be able to recall all of their names. The love of good parents is far more important. Not peers. Not even how much stuff we learn in school... Because let's be real, we forget a lot of that also. What better way to be a good parent than to spend time with your child, educating them personally?
In any case, my very best friend is the Lord Jesus Christ and He has never, ever let me down. He is the only one that gave His life for all of us.
John 15:13 KJV - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
@@believestthouthis7You have ideological reasons for deserting plural society education, period.
I am so sorry you had to live in a country in which your parents were allowed to do this and you ( and your disabled siblings as well) did not have the right to a formal education.
Much love from EU.❤
@@kathrinscharrer3923
The original purpose of the US education system was to teach people to read so that they could have the freedom to read the Bible for themselves. Everything is so backwards now that education trains people to turn their back on their Creator.
Public and private schooling did nothing for me other than waste years of my life that I wish I could get back. Praise the Lord that the "indoctrination" didn't work.
1 Corinthians 1:20-21 KJV
[20]Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
[21]For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
You're amazing. It was my wish to homeschool mine but unfortunately my husband didn't agree. However now my oldest child is finishing their primary education we are both in agreement for home learning for secondary education. I'm feeling very overwhelmed atm with never having done it before and having to start out with a 12 yr old.
Please do not homeschool your kid in middle and high school. Please let them go to school and have a chance at socialization.
@@user-lt1jd1ye3v going to public schools does not promise socialization. There’s a loneliness epidemic among kids that are not homeschooled, 73% of Gen Z say they feel alone.
Whether a child is homeschooled or not, a parent must be intentional on mediating their kid’s socialization. Public Schools will not do that for kids naturally.
I was homeschooled k-12 and I will probably be in therapy a lot longer than that in order to detangle a lot of the damage. My mom thought having me una few coops here and there, but it’s truly an isolating experience to be home all day. Think of what the shutdown felt like, but with no end in sight till you graduate.
I’m sorry you had that experience. My kids have co-op, play dates, church, church group with friends, and multiple sports. We actually just went to cheer on my sons friends who play football tonight. So while I’m sorry you had a bad experience, that is not every homeschool experience 🤗
Very good points! Thank you for sharing !
Homeschooling mothers should not have to feel like they need to list out all the busyness to prove themselves. People can be just as isolated and damaged (if not more) going to public school. Those who were homeschooled all their lives often have the “grass is greener” mentality about public schoolers because they just DON’T know. I went to public school, private school, and was homeschooled, so I have experienced it all. The grass is NOT greener on any particular side. You have to make the most of what you have, and refrain from that victim mentality so you can constantly move forward. If you feel like you had a “damaging” life experience, it’s so easy to blame our parents for sending us to public school, private school, or homeschooling us, etc. None of us have perfect lives. So go ahead and get your therapy. I’ve had clinical therapy for MUCH worse than being a bored homeschooler. And even much worse than bloody fights and bomb threats at the elementary school I worked at in 2008. Therapy for things that had nothing to do with my “schooling”.
And living in Parkland, FL when the MSD shooting happened, my friends who were mothers of those public school students who attended that school, who watched their public school friends get murdered are STILL in therapy.
Therapy for homeschoolers, therapy for public schoolers, doesn’t matter. We ALL need it for something.
@@JuniperLynn789considering how unwilling you were to show basic empathy to someone sharing their trauma, I'm really praying that your kids have someone else to go to (not that you should have to list the people in their lives! I know you're sensitive to that 🫠) when they're having issues. Sadly considering how defensive you got there, I'm not sure I can really bet on that. Hope they can still have a good life regardless of your lacking emotional intelligence
Hey genwithag , let me guess you weren’t homeschooled ? Guess what, you aren’t an adult who was homeschooled their whole life so you don’t get to tell everyone how they should feel about their own experience. I was homeschooled k-12 and I am NEVER homeschooling my kids in middle and high school due to how lonely and isolating it is. It is HARDLY ideal.
😂 I fit all of the homeschooling mom stereotypes you mentioned, but I love it. Those all developed after my decision to homeschool was solidified when I was in college.
Your last tip about making the curriculum work for you and your kids is absolutely critical.
You didn’t mention the single biggest clique in homeschooling - fundamentalist religion. You can’t be in most of those groups if you don’t fit their particular belief niche, and that’s most homeschool groups. Especially in rural areas.
Is there a certain curriculum you follow? I want to homeschool my three-year-old son but don’t know how to start. I do live in the same state as you.
Look up HSLDA and see what your state requirements are.
Read the book Anyone can homeschool. It’s a great place to start!
Nothing wrong with skirt wearing moms, and a van either, but I understand what u mean as well that it’s not a specific mold as to who can homeschool
Thank you!! You’re superwoman and I definitely want to look into homeschooling as an option! It now seems possible to me because of your encouragement!
That makes me so happy!!
Why don't you teach your kids to tidy up the classroom? It'll make the load a lot lighter for you
I don’t get why you all think you’re qualified to be a teacher with no training. Yikes. I feel sorry for your kids.
She could absolutely give her kids proper education with the correct recorcess, there are many books, online courses, and other things that are available to homeschoolers. I've been homeschooled most of my life and I'm educated just fine
Dude it’s not her teaching mostly she goes off a curriculum that she already knows and it’s so much better for the child because the mom knows how the kid learns
I’m planning on homeschooling this fall and I might do that with all of my kids. I’m so nervous about it but I think it would be best for our family. This is so encouraging!! I need all the advice. I love how organized you are.
nervousness is normal for doing anything new! You can do it ! Spend the next few months researching, looking into home school groups in your area ! (BTW, I am not homeschooling children but if I had school age children, I certainly would be doing it!
I want to know what all the notebooks, activity books, and planners are in this video!
I need to know where you got that shelf!!
First off I want to say that I think you are amazing and such an inspiration 🙌🏼💗
I am a stay at home mom of 3 and this was my first year homeschooling. I have a 6 year old who is very mildly autistic and most of his issues are adhd associated.

Why do people make the choice to homeschool?
To brainwash their kids and keep them isolated from people who don't think like them. For some parents it's a powerplay thing to have a mini them.
For others it's a serious commitment to help their specal needs children to learn in a space that will go at a pace that doesn't leave them behind.
Needed to hear this also, thank you❣️
Ok but your room is so cute. I’m just preparing to get my school lol room together but I am FAR from an interior designer 🥴🤣
Wow= those stereotypes are bizarre
❤ Where did you get your white desk and bookshelf from
Could you do a video about materials that are actually needed or helpful for homeschooling littles? I just got the ESA grant and I want to spend it wisely. I don’t want to get a bunch of stuff I don’t actually need
But Me As A Muslim Mom I Am Not Allowed To Wear A Skirt
Haha I grew up homeschooled and the first thing I got from people when I told them so was “You don’t look like a homeschooler.” And then “But you are so social” yes my mom homeschooled us the right way haha we are well educated (don’t judge that by my typing skills) and socially normal. I am so glad I was homeschooled and I am homeschooling my 7 year old in the same model my mother did. This girl functions extremely well in the world
I feel like this is an outdated stereotype. What I wish people knew is that homeschool isn't just for middle class and above with resources to buy buy buy. Homeschooling can be down if one is in the lower class, government assistance class on very low resources. You do NOT need to purchase so many workbooks, textbooks, etc. The lower class doesn't have homes with space to keep so many books or have the means to purchase all the fancy pretty books in vogue in the homeschool community. Online it appears homeschooling isn't for the lower classes. It is. It can be done. All these nice, pretty fancy things aren't necessary. Homeschool has become a bustling business.
I want to get to know a homeschool mom that has never been a teacher, but yet homeschooled because if you already been a teacher, you know lots of stuff and you somehow got your own knowledge and way how to do things, but if you are a uneducated person that wants to educate yourself to educate their kids it’s harder, so do you know someone that it’s not a teacher that never teach before but once to teach herself and their kids?????
My biggest fear is my son being anti social. I have only one kiddo and I feel like it’s hard when it’s just one kid being homeschooled
Have you seen the modern day "socialized" kids out there lately? lol Don't feel any fear on that point, please.
Do you have a curriculum overview?
Which curriculum do you follow for your 1st and 2nd grader ?
Love your set up! So cool to see the dedication to a nice/neat work area.
I pray you all in the comments come to know Our Lord And Savior, Jesus Christ. God loves you. Jesus Christ loves you. The Holy Spirit Loves you. I love you As A Brother Or Sister In Christ. Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, and rose again, so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. I want to see you in heaven. I Pray As Many People As Possible Come To Know Our Lord. I Pray We All Grow Closer To Our Lord. God bless and have a good day
I hate school I hate going I hate everything about it I’ve always wanted to be home school but I have a lot of friends I don’t want to loose but I would love to be homeschooled
