  • Guys, I have a quick question for you. What's the purpose of education? I ask this question all the time when I'm doing live workshops, and everybody kind of pauses—they haven't really thought about it too much. So, I want to give you three important purposes for education, regardless of what level your kids are at, what methodology you use, whether you're homeschool, public, or private school—this is across the board.

    As we are in the fourth Industrial Revolution, it is such an important concept to get a hold of because our kids are going to live and work in this world. You've heard me talk about this so much before. There's a blurring of lines between physical, biological, and digital spheres now. This is the world of work and the world of education our kids are going to live in.

    I have an interesting stat for you: 85% of the jobs in 2030 haven't been invented yet. Let that sink in. So, understanding the purpose of education is more important than ever before because, like every industrial revolution, some jobs are just going to go kaput, and other industries and jobs are just going to come out of nowhere.

    When's the last time you used a cartwright? Nobody even knows what a cartwright was or is—those are the people who make the wheels for a cart or a buggy. But once the automotive industry took the world by storm, guess what? That whole industry just went kaput, bottom up. We're in another industrial revolution, and it's going to happen, and we're seeing it already.

    So, what are the three purposes of education? Listen in to Lisa Nehring to learn.

  • Show Notes: Not That Hard to Homeschool Podcast - "4 Things to Keep in Mind While Homeschooling"

    Welcome to another episode of the Not That Hard to Homeschool Podcast.

    Today, we're exploring four pivotal concepts to enrich your homeschooling experience. These insights blend academic learning with character development for a well-rounded approach.

    Share Your Passions with Your Kids Homeschooling offers a unique opportunity to integrate your passions into your teaching. Whether it's art, science, history, or a hobby, sharing what you love can inspire enthusiasm in your children. It shows them learning is a lifelong journey, not confined to textbooks. This approach not only enhances their knowledge but also strengthens family bonds and fosters mutual respect. Make the Most of Kids' Natural Curiosity Children are naturally curious, always questioning the world around them. Harness this curiosity by encouraging exploration and discovery. Tailor lessons to their interests, and you'll see engagement soar. This method nurtures a love for learning and encourages self-directed exploration. It also teaches children the value of perseverance and the joy of uncovering new knowledge, which are crucial aspects of character development. Give Them a Challenge Challenges stimulate growth, resilience, and problem-solving skills. Setting challenging but achievable goals for your children helps them learn the value of hard work and determination. It prepares them for real-world situations where perseverance is key. Encourage them to embrace challenges, not shy away from them. This mindset fosters a strong work ethic and the courage to face difficulties head-on. Clear Strategies Lead to Success Clear, structured strategies in your homeschooling approach can significantly impact learning outcomes. Establish routines, set clear expectations, and use organized planning to guide your homeschooling journey. This clarity helps children understand what is expected of them and how they can achieve their goals. It also teaches them the importance of organization and planning in achieving success, valuable life skills that extend beyond academics.


    Integrating Character Development Throughout these four strategies, emphasize character development. Teach your children the value of integrity, empathy, and responsibility. Show them how their passions can contribute positively to the world. Encourage them to ask questions, seek knowledge, and understand diverse perspectives.

    Challenges should be met with perseverance and a positive attitude, and success should be seen as a product of effort and ethical conduct. In conclusion, homeschooling is not just about academic achievement; it's about nurturing well-rounded individuals prepared for the challenges of life.

    By sharing your passions, leveraging natural curiosity, offering challenges, and employing clear strategies, you can provide a rich, fulfilling educational experience. Remember, the goal is to raise learners who are not only knowledgeable but also kind, resilient, and ethical individuals.

    Join us next time on the Not That Hard to Homeschool Podcast for more insights and strategies to make your homeschooling journey even more rewarding. Together, we can make homeschooling not just achievable, but a profound opportunity for growth and learning.

  • Episode Title: Understanding the Carnegie Unit and How It Relates to Homeschooling High School

    Show Notes:

    Welcome to a new episode of "It's Not That Hard to Homeschool," where we demystify the challenges of homeschooling and provide practical advice to make your homeschooling journey smoother. Today, we're diving into a topic that bewilders many homeschooling parents of high schoolers: the Carnegie Unit and its implications for homeschooling through the high school years.

    The Carnegie Unit, a traditional measure of academic credit in the United States, is often used to represent one hour of classroom instruction per day, five days a week, for one academic year. But how does this translate to a homeschooling environment, where traditional classroom hours don't necessarily apply?

    Our host, Lisa Nehring, breaks down the concept of the Carnegie Unit, tracing its origins back to the early 20th century and discussing its role in standardizing education across the nation. More importantly, Lisa provides insight into how homeschooling parents can leverage the Carnegie Unit to plan and document their high schooler's educational journey.

    Listeners will learn how to translate traditional classroom hours into homeschooling activities, including academic studies, practical experiences, and extracurricular activities. Lisa also discusses the importance of documentation and how keeping detailed records can benefit homeschooling families, especially when preparing transcripts for college applications.

    This episode is packed with tips on how to use the Carnegie Unit as a flexible guideline rather than a strict rule, allowing homeschooling parents to create a high school curriculum that is both rigorous and tailored to their child's interests and needs.

    Whether you're new to homeschooling or looking for ways to enhance your high schooler's learning experience, this episode is a must-listen. Join Lisa as she simplifies the complexities of the Carnegie Unit and shows how it can be a valuable tool in your homeschooling toolkit.
