36 Homeschool Hacks That I Know at 36 That I Wish I Knew at 26 

We love schoolhouse rock videos! Oldies but Goodies. 😊

First time seeing your video and I absolutely love this! I wrote each down as a reminder for me throughout the year♥️. We’re going into year 7 of homeschooling and these hacks are so important to keep in mind… always 😆. I immediately subscribed when you said “practice not master patience”.. that’s a word! 😂

I’m a teacher but I’m still super nervous about home schooling my kiddos. A lot of the tips you gave, I use in my classroom. So great job mama!! One thing I learned in the classroom (keep lessons short) is to try not to talk or lecture longer than the child’s age. So for a 10 year old, I would lecture 10 minutes, and then begin hands on practice or a video or a writing or discussion, anything but lecturing.

Oh my goodness, these were amazing tips! 🥰

There’s no way you’re 36!!!! You look way younger than that ❤ & I really enjoyed this video & tips. I’m starting this year with preschool & these were very helpful!

Loved this!!!!

Real life connections and flexibility! ❤ YES. I went to private school, public school, AND finished up with charter school for k-12 and the real-world connections and practical applications are minimal. Especially looking at it as an adult when we first tried two of those for our kids. Homeschool is so great because we can have that flexibility AND connection, even better when it's fit to each child. We were working with a charter school for the longest with my special needs child, and it was stressful when they had certain expectations that didn't make sense. Too high in some regards, too low in others. I still catch myself over a year into homeschool, trying to push when it doesn't make sense or going too easy even (then boredom strikes). When my kids are having a rough go, (and aren't just being lazy) I can pull back and let them have easier or more fun material. We can also feed our kid's natural strengths and interests and it inspires them to learn more efficiently. Something rarely condoned in other settings, not to this degree. I think that's why my kids have excelled in this format (even when I feel I'm failing miserable and like we should be doing more...😂 It's a nice surprise! 😅)

Great tips! I will be incorporating a lot of them this year.

This is a great list!!! So much wisdom and thoughtful input into others lives. Thank you so much!

So much wisdom in this one video

I am so tired of my stacks of homeschool books like in your thumbnail 😂 but I don't love stand up file folders. I definitely want some of those paper organizers
