The modern homeschooling movement has been unabashedly political from its inception. This election cycle should be no exception--we explore some Biblically-based reasons in this video. I searched but could not find a good article about the negative intentions for the Common School movement--the search engine I used could only speak of it in glowing terms. So, I found a page from an important education site (learninfreedom.org) that gives reference to a number of books which you may find interesting. Here it is: https://learninfreedom.org/school_sta...

Emergency situations are where homeschooling gives us the upper hand have the upper hand. We don't need buildings or paid staff to enjoy organic learning. We can teach (and learn along with our children) anytime, anywhere. This podcast gives some suggestions as to how to go about it.

I know we all come to homeschooling from different angles. We often stumble into it. We even think we can buy a stack of books and keep "education" in its own separate compartment and keep living like we always have.
But this doesn't go very well for very long.

Like a delicious, well-cooked and seasoned meal, education is supposed to nourish both body and soul. It is not supposed to be dutifully shoved down in huge amounts until it becomes loathsome.
I know, because I have been so guilty of doing this myself. I have been guilty of making Charlotte Mason cry.

So, your children are growing up. You've been enjoying the learning journey so far (except for maybe learning to read and long division), but the years ahead are blurry and unsure. Are you really capable of facing the years ahead? I say YES--you can homeschool your teens!
And this is from many years, and many children, of experience. So far, we have "graduated" 13 of our 15 children. All of them were homeschooled until graduation.

There are only so many hours in each day, and there is a limit to how much learning we can cram in. Sadly, many of the "fun" things we thought we'd have more time for when homeschooling get pushed off to the side.
Autodidacting gives us a way to legitimately pursue our passions and interests, but with structure and accountability.

Today I am sharing a perspective on parenting from this side of rearing our 15 children over the past 41 years. One of the take-aways is the realization we lead and guide, but we don't have to carry the outcomes when we place our children in God's big, big hands.

Having a peaceful home leads to peaceful homeschooling. When we get our household running on rails of habit and routine, we find we have more "brain space," time, and energy for all of the learning activities with our children.

Now, we all know that, no matter how ethereal our intentions may be, we live in a real world with real people and real agendas which attempt to contradict God's plans on almost every plain. Caesar never stops at a little excising, he takes a little here, a little there, and he continues to grab until he swallows the whole.
We all experience excising, some more than others. This is why we must learn and train our children to understand just where Caesar's boundaries are, and when he grabs for more than his due we can cheat.
This is not the cheating of corruption. It is not stealing from others or living in lies. It is keeping ourselves from living lies. It is using the system for its original intentions, which have been buried beneath the behemoth stack of bureaucratic eduspeak and intellitalk.
It's allowing our children to actually THINK and learn, but making it look like they are only parroting and shuffling along in line like good little drones.

Recently we have been delving deeply into the idea of notebooking as a homeschooling method of learning. This is partly because of our current project of creating some "notebooking books" that we are calling Commonplace Books. (We held a contest on the Mom Delights YouTube community and it was so much fun!).
Anyways, as I have been sharing so much on the subject, a number of questions arose from our audience. I thought it would be a good idea to take some time and answer as many of them as I could.

Homeschooling, and having a traditional, large family, is an invitation to conflict with our culture. I means taking a stand and withstanding the consequences of holding to the truth even if we lose some things in the short-run. In this video I am sharing some of the precepts that have helped me choose truth over convenience.
