This is my 14th year of homeschooling. To anyone reading this; you are capable enough, you are smart enough, you have enough education, you have enough patience, you have enough money, you have enough supplies, you have enough space. YOU are enough. You are everything your child needs. You CAN do this.

@Beastbombshell that’s not true. There are so many tools and curriculums. My mom did a two year nursing degree and then went on to homeschool 7 children. All of us that chose to go to college graduated with highest honors from the honors programs we attended. My mom never even LIKED math let alone studied things like trig. Yet she managed to school micro-biologists, philosophers, mathematicians, and artists of varying genre. It’s possible!

I was homeschooled. My parents installed very strong Christian values in me, I was not taught the woke nonsense they teach in schools and I was not told about issues like sex at an age that was inappropriate to do so. Despite the fact I didn't go to school, I still made good friends and did "well" education wise . I'm now 20 years old and am just so grateful for the years I was homeschooled. I was saved from the world , but still able to enjoy my teen years, while growing in my faith at home. When I was old enough to go to college at 16, I had been equipped enough to deal with that environment. There are also so many books and courses out there, my parents did not have to do all the teaching themselves! To any parents reading this, it does work; your child can do well education wise through it, make friends and be spared the awful nonsense taught in schools!

Alice I was both in the public and private school it's depande on the school and how you feel on both section, also how your learning style is and how they felt about both section. For homeschool is the best things, you teach what you like, go to place that you use to teach your kids. Like going to different church to learn how they set up, go to the public library near by, go the parks, to go store to teach them the base things, how to talk to other people. go to the coffee shop to have the kids social skills. Some kids are good in the morning, afternoon, night and overnight to do their work.

My family has just finished our 11th year of homeschooling, and it is the greatest gift I have ever given myself. The TIME I have had with my children and the time they have had together is something I will cherish my whole life. The sacrifices my family has made in order for us to homeschool have been worth it.

@@goldenbear4849 Finally, proverbs are general truths, not specific promises or guarantees from God. When applied, the general point taught in a proverb is likely to hold true, but in a fallen world exceptions will confound even the wisest individuals. Thus, in the classic example of Prov 22:6 NKJV, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it,” the general rule is that parental discipline and instruction will typically result in a positive outcome. However, this is not a guarantee. The wisdom of Prov 22:6 holds true as a general rule, not an absolute promise. -Illustrated Bible Survey

People screaming about indoctrination, she’s indoctrinated. If you’re never exposed to people who have different opinions then you’re never encouraged to look at why you are Christian and no Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist, agnostic or part of any other belief system. For me my public education was less about learning and more about learning with people who disagree with me. If you want to control education that is literally indoctrination and I’m not saying public schools don’t indoctrinate but at least they aren’t promoting the bias that you have to be Christian or you will burn hell for ever.

@estherthomas8872
@estherthomas8872 2 года назад
Why bother going to college if you can't use your degree for about 20+ years? By the time your youngest graduates high school, your degree will be archaic. I don't completely disagree with homeschooling and the pros for it. I'm just trying to highlight the cons and bring them into the discussion. It's not all rose petals and some of the thorns are worse for some families than other school options. I will add a caveat that every one of the years I spent in a public school, I wished I could stay home or go back overseas to the christian school I was in during the years we were out of the country. However, how do you address the fact that the mother has to stay home to teach the kids, perhaps the family needs the income, or perhaps the wife/mother feels suffocated and prone to impatience or explosions of anger when she has to be at home with her kids ALL THE TIME. Then still try to figure out outside activity schedules that even allow them to experience sports or interact with any other children/people outside their own family! To top it all off there seems to be a million different curriculum options. How on earth do you know that you've considered them all in prepatory research? How on earth to choose? We aren't usually professional teachers. How do you pick a good one without trying them all? If you try them all then your kids end up doing different curriculums every year and there's a lack of consistency and it probably can end up with them being more poorly educated than in the public school. What about parents/mothers with poor health? Not every Christian family has the resources needed to create a positive homeschooling environment and sending them to a top rated public school that they live in is the best they can do while at the same time teaching and guiding and leading them in the way that they should go when they are at home. For now it's working just fine for our family, and I know they aren't teaching woke or alternative genders in Alabama and I know for sure at my kids elementary school they aren't. The decision of whether or not our kids are in a place where they are learning the right things is nuanced and takes much wisdom. There is not a one-size-fits-all school choice for every Christian family.

I am an imperfect wife and mother that imperfectly homeschooled my imperfect children. They got the best of my time, energy, and efforts. I strove to present a consistent biblical worldview in all subjects. We read aloud and discussed wonderful books daily. Through their teenage years, they still sought and valued their parents' perspective and input. They were not peer dependent. They were ready for adult responsibilities soon after graduation, including marriage and children. They are now homeschooling their own children. I am so grateful that God gave me the willingness and desire to commit to homeschooling, even through difficulties. Chronic health issues meant that I had to parent and school them more days from the couch than I care to remember. One child's dyslexia made every day a challenge for both of us from kindergarten through to graduation. It was all worth it! I would do it all again if I could. I got to savor time with my beloved children, and God blessed my imperfect execution of all things homeschool! He was so faithful! I encourage all mothers to prayerfully undertake this wonderful educational option that we enjoy in the U.S.; support, resources, and choices abound! In the end, the imperfect was PERFECT!

Depends on the school. The smaller international school our kids went to had many inter-age events and classes throughout the day including registration class which was done in house groups for half an hour every day at the beginning of the day and was across the age and class range. They were in houses that did events from years 1-6 inclusive and they knew everyone in the school. Very little bullying occurred in this environment and the older ones definitely mentored the younger.

If they homeschool, their point of reference is the family. Sold. It's been a couple of years now, and it's one of my favorite things. I can't imagine sending my kids to any school.

Hello! I’m just another mom who pulled my 4 kids out of public school recently and took up homeschooling! There are MANY resources and local homeschooling co-op groups. I didn’t “know what I was doing”. But I’m their mother. I know I love them, I know I want the best for them, I know I will protect them, I’m intelligent and they are my responsibility and my joy. You can do it too.

When I first began homeschooling, it started out so awkward!! I would look at my then 7 and 8 year old daughters with tears in my eyes and think, "oh, no I have brought you out of all the public school fun stuff!" Well, it took time, but we adjusted to our new way of life and created our own fun. I tossed out a lot of what the government says our kids need to learn and focused on their character and teaching good work ethic. My husband developed a side business a few years later which ended up being his main job and source of income and "hired" our girls to help. Now as teenagers they have become talented photographers and videographers and because of trade shows, know how to deal with the public as well. You will not regret the adventure of homeschooling! Here's to spending time together as a family and teaching godly values as Deut 6:6-7 tells us to do.

My 5 year old regularly says she wants to go to school and I start feeling bad that I’m keeping her from that experience. I have to remind myself that what she wants is the time with friends and she gets opportunities to be around other children. I hope to get to the point where I don’t feel a bit guilty. I just can’t imagine her being with strangers all day while I’m just at home.

To the parent who is "sending a light" into the public school--- How many souls has your child won? Is your child making a change? Or is the school changing your child? I've never seen this "light" that the students are suppose to be. To be a light, your child needs to first be saved, discipled and walking in the light himself.

You could also join a homeschool co-op, where each parent agrees to do the teaching on a certain subject for one day each week, or every other week, depending on the size of the group. In that case you would still be able to work. If you have a family member who would baby sit while you're at work, you could do school time when you're not at work.

This teacher told me to keep my kids out of school let that sink in. She informed me that the schools have lost the focus on what the purpose of education is supposed to be.

As a former substitute teacher in various high schools in IL & FL over 10+ years, I say get your kids out of public schools if you can. Not just bc of the socialism, CRT, SEL, but bc of lack of discipline too. I sat in on plenty of classes taught by permanent teachers and students run the rooms. And cell phones… the cell phones… all day. Only exceptions were advanced placement or honors classes and that was mainly bc of parental examples and expectations.

(To this day it's one of my favorite classes to think back on.) No one had ever told me that I could have requested to be on the AP track and in still pretty frustrated about it because I could have grown into that level of academic responsibility if someone had simply told me it was an option!

I have triplets, a child 15 months younger, and one 2 years younger than that. My triplets went to public school kindergarten and had a wonderful teacher. But they were so far ahead of the other students they were bored. The teacher would give them advanced work to challenge them. Then the school had a speaker come in and give a talk about body safety and strangers. No parents were allowed to hear the content or get any information regarding what the speaker would say. I kept my kids out but did get to witness the speaker at another school. He basically told them all adults are predators and that includes babysitters, grandparents, parents, religious leaders, and neighbors. I have spoken to my kids on these topics to keep them safe without traumatizing them as I feel this talk would have done. After their year finished up I pulled them out of school and began to homeschool. 6 years later and I have zero regrets. My kids are well rounded socially, academically, and emotionally. They are involved in numerous activities with kids their age and have had experiences they never would have sitting in a public or private school. I enjoy the time we get to spend together every day and feel like my husband and I are raising them, not the government. Before I had my children I was a public school teacher and was devastated by the things I saw and heard in the building from students and staff. I had two brothers join my junior accelerated Engliah class who were homeschooled previously. They were 14. They were so far ahead of the public school kids. I had to constantly challenge them. They were more respectful and well behaved. Homeschooling isn't just a family event. Your community is a good teacher partner. Our area is a huge homeschool area and there are always gatherings and events for the kids to do. I highly recommend it if you are able to do so.

Allie, thank you for presenting an in depth discussion of home education. My wife and I started home educating in 1988, we have six children (now ages 26-40) that we home schooled K-12. We had a million reasons and goals when we started and it quickly became overwhelming trying to juggle all those things. As we grew in our understanding of what we wanted to accomplish, we really narrowed our goals which led to curriculum choices that supported where we wanted to go. The Scriptures are clear that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It became clear to us over the years that we wanted our children to have the tools to pursue wisdom. So we came up with our three goals: 1. We want our children to know the truth 2. We want our children to be able to discern error 3. We want our children to be able to refute error in a Christ-like manner. This led to a Biblical Worldview - Great books, Biblically based style of education. There are several excellent curriculum options to assist parents in achieving this. Home schooling is difficult, time consuming and thoroughly worth it. While home schooling is not an automatic ticket that we punched so our children we become Christians, it was certainly one of the means that God used to bring all six of our children to a strong robust faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and an ability to navigate in a world that is fallen. So, as an ardent home schooling advocate, I would ask that parents not just consider what their children might avoid by not attending public school, but what God can establish in your home and the lives of your children through raising them in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Much thanks to you and Mr. Cameron for this discussion. I pray it will cause many parents to pray and seriously consider their education options for their gifts from God, their children. Peace in Christ.

The particular homeschooling curriculum chosen can make a tremendous difference. In the case of a niece and nephew of mine, from early grades they learned Latin, from there they were taught to read the classic Greek and Roman philosophers - in Latin. Their curriculum is called, Classical Conversations. From that, they went on to learn biblical apologetics. These kids are about ready to enter college and they are a couple of freaking razors.

My Classical Conversations education equipped me with too many educational & lifestyle skills to count, and provided me with an amazing biblical foundation upon which I have built my worldview. I want to homeschool my children when I have them, and give them the same quality of education I received. For anybody considering homeschooling and/or Classical Conversations, I can say with 100% certainty: Do it. It is completely worth it. Your children won’t just be okay, they will flourish. I consider my education to be one of the biggest blessings in my life, and one of the greatest gifts my parents ever gave to me.

I had already decided on homeschooling a couple of weeks ago but it was cemented today after I went to pick up my children early today because my daughter had an allergy attack and my special needs son who has anxiety was having a full blown meltdown because they wouldn’t let him call home. After I took them home I found out that his meltdown was because he was complaining about an ear ache and the teacher yelled at him and told him to shut up. So glad that we are homeschooling next year I would pull him out right now but this week is the last real week of school and it seems pointless at this time.

I love homeschooling! I've done it for 12 years now. I didn't start for political reasons, but out of necessity. We decided to keep doing it though. The kids wanted to keep doing it. It's been amazing! Don't think you need money or patience. You don't. You can do this through all the books at the public library, through hands-on, real life experiences, through friends and family. Take them to businesses and talk with the people doing the different jobs. At 8-10 years old, people would always come up to me and tell me they could talk to my kids like they were adults. The socialization argument is completely false. They get MORE opportunities to talk to more people instead of only kids their own age.

I live in a Democratic city of San Antonio Texas ( but a Red state indeed 😁) the public schools in my community are very one sided and got to experience it all during covid school shut down while they switched to Zoom classes I got to hear all the teachers personalities. That was enough to pull them out, not only that the teachers now these days complain about the children for any little thing or behavior in elementary. My oldest stayed in public High school because he loves JROTC program, he's ranked 3rd in his grade and is involved in UIL clubs he knows how public school can be but only has two more years to finish.

My kids thought they would miss their friends and family, but now, if you were to ask if they wanted to go back to public school, they would say no. My oldest had a teacher who would essentially take advantage of her students, saying stuff like, whoever gets me coffee is my favorite student! She was ‘joking’ but when student brought her coffee, she still took every cup. Then, class on environmental science would turn into misinformation about economics, as she dispelled Malthusian theory upon the children and made them believe humans were so terrible. In all honesty, we may have been able to withstand public school, as we always made an effort to engage with our kiddos about school. We were also never afraid of COVID. However, policy for remote learning made us realize that homeschool is totally doable for us! I love helping my kids learn in the best way they know. They love having the one on one attention they get from me. Also, I just found out that Senator Ron Paul has a curriculum he put together! All state and federal certified. He designed the curriculum for grades 1-12, and it’s meant to be 98% self taught after grade 3. If anyone is looking for a curriculum for homeschool, it’s pretty cheap, and you should check it out! Pretty sure you could just Google Ron Paul Curriculum

Homeschool momma here of 4 years. God wouldn't let me rest over this. I fought it and fought it and sent my child to public school for 1 year. And it was miserable. I finally listened to God, he lead me to my kid's curriculum and I have never looked back. It was the best decision I made for my children. My point is if there are parents who don't think they can teach your children, you're wrong, patience with your children will grow, their education will be so much more in-depth, you will sleep much more peaceful at night when you know what your children are learning, and their safe from the political agenda of the world. This world has been going after our children for years and we parents can control this. While we still have our rights and freedom to do so. Go for it and you wont regret it.

I was homeschooled from second grade up, graduated a homeschool student, was on the president's list every single semester in college. One of my professors actually told me that some of her best students have been homeschoolers--that they have better work ethic, generally better grades, etc. We just finished our third year of homeschooling our daughter--she just finished 2nd grade and got amazing results on her standardized test she's required to take once a year in our state. She's learning SO much and socialization is absolutely not a problem for her. She has a best friend whom she sees regularly and she plays with other kids regularly at library programs, homeschool group meetings, and church. And, honestly, they get better socialization skills because they learn socialization more organically, the way God designed it to work--they learn to socialize with people of all ages, not just their peers.

As a public educator for over 14 years, I can honestly say, the system (not only local but at large) is BROKEN. But when God called us to homeschool our only son starting in kindergarten, I walked away from my life as a public educator. The thought of sending him into public school felt like I was inserting my only child into a machine. It’s so freeing. You realize almost immediately how much of a public school day is fluff and wasted time. He’s going into 5th grade. He’s learned soooo much. And we’ve done it all with a biblical world view. And God did all of this BEFORE Covid. My heart goes out to public educators (because most are just exhausted and not really focused on indoctrination) and parents who feel they have no choice in their child’s education. It might be a leap of faith to take education into your own hands, but it is so worth it!

I pulled my 3 elementary aged children out of school in late October 2020 when virtual learning was just a complete and utter failure for us. I didn't know what I was doing, but I figured anything they learned from me was better than the absolute nothing they were learning virtually. My kids are happy and thriving and we now attend a Christian homeschool co-op one day per week where I'm teaching my kids as well as other kids. I have found an amazing community within this homeschooling co-op and my kids and I are so much better for it.

I was a child in the 90’s and early 00’s. My mother decided to homeschool me, not because of fear of ideological influences but because I had autism and difficulty paying attention in a group setting. She saw I learned concepts better in a one to one setting and enjoyed being my teacher, so when my sister and brother came along she decided to just go all the way out. Wokiness aside, every child learns better in different ways. Finding the best method is a journey you have to be willing to take.

I was one of those who never thought I'd homeschool my four kids, but that's the one good thing that came out of all this mess. My only regret is that we didn't start it earlier! We all love it, and any time I bring up the possibility of going back to private school, my kids (8, 9, 11, 12yos) all want to stay home. We have more friends than ever, my kids are who they were made to be (no awful peer influence), and they absolutely love learning now. It's so hard, but so good! If I can do it, anyone can! If you're equivocating, just go for it- you'll be daily blessed!

Congratulations! I home schooled 5 children. I started when my oldest was in 3rd grade.... And never looked back! I supplemented high school curriculum with Co-ops (other friends / families) and we had such a rich cultural and educational adventure! There were days of hard work, yes, but I have never regretted bringing my children home to educate them! Btw - one subject I felt very inadequate to teach is math - but there are so many good tutors and/or programs available! (Math U See has video instruction DVD's I highly recommend for high school) - but despite any inadequacies on my part - I prayed and the Lord faithfully met the needs and challenges along the way! My children now have a Math degree (Summa Cum Laude!), Art /Science degree, Dental / orthodontic degree, Esthetician degree and one working to finish a degree program. Life is abt learning! I pray you enjoy discovering the Lord's purpose for each of your beloved children's lives as you all enjoy learning together! (Ephesians 2:10) ❤️ 😍

When I was in school we had a full day of learning. I sent my kids to elementary school and their days were a waste. They spent all day away from me to only complete about an hours worth of schoolwork. I took them out because I knew I could give them more and because I wanted to be with them. Now two out of three are well educated adults that are not burdens to society and I don’t regret a minute of homeschooling.

Yes. We had our kids in private Christian school for the first few years, but almost all of my teaching salary was used to cover it. And we were not super impressed (though the teachers were lovely). We brought them home, found wonderful communities of like minded families, and went for it for the next 12 years. Not only did my kids excel in college (graduating with honors), but they both eventually became Christians as young adults and have chosen Christian spouses. Was it easy? Never. Any regrets? None. We used Classical Conversations and cannot say enough good things about the program. It not only helped us homeschool, but to draw nearer to God.

My public school experience was miserable. I found the buildings and classroom environments to be stifling. I longed to see something beautiful; it was not to be found there. I wanted fresh air; the bathrooms and bus always smelled of smoke. I was teased and bullied from mid-elementary on. Teachers scowled at me and treated me unfairly, starting with my first grade teacher who purposefully tripped me when walking down the aisle to my desk. Gym class was dreaded--dodge ball? Ugh! Guess who was an easy out? Being forced to shower naked with other people? Who dreamed that up? Not people that truly love and care for children. I experienced tremendous boredom. It was difficult to make and keep friends; school social events brought more failure and anxiety. I only escaped the temptation to do harmful things (drink, drugs, premarital sex) because I was a social outcast. School was as a sentence to be served! Now, teasing and bullying can take place 24/7 thanks to social media. The occult and its influence are reaching more of our young people today to their detriment. College and career are emphasized to young girls in school to the exclusion of marriage, motherhood, and homemaking. Liberal policies and perspectives are championed there, immoral practices and lifestyles are taught there, religious practices (yoga, mindfulness), are experienced there... Christian parents, please provide better for your children!

Having to shower in front of your peers and teacher! Our teacher told us she had to do a soap check before we could rinse off. And she would stand there and stare at us. She was creepy!

My husband was homeschooled K-12. Now, by God's grace and blessing. We are now homeschooling our own children. We have used my father's world curriculum and now Ambleside Online (not an online school). And some Simply Charlotte Mason curriculum. It's a free curriculum outline. It's so affordable and it's a feast of scripture, hymns, church history, great literature, habits and the arts. ❤️

I went to public school and plan on homeschooling my children. I went through a rebellious phase in my teenage years that caused a lot of stress and strife in my family. My parents always wondered how I got caught up in the wrong crowd and where their little girl went. Peer pressure is so so strong, especially in high school! It was heartbreaking for my family and it took several years to regain my family’s trust and get back to normal. I look forward to homeschooling my kids. Protect the children!

36:05 I just quit my public school teaching job after 20 years. I entered as a Christian assuming my job was to be that role model for Christ. I don’t think parents realize just how fast the public education system is morally collasping in on itself. 5 years ago I began to question the effectiveness of my role while staying mum on some hot topics just to comply, not be seen as fanatical and continue on. This year for the first time ever however I was directly given shared lesson plans that contained anti-God’s design and asked to teach it. So at that point I had a mental conflict. How can I work in and support with my talents a system that is clearly tossing God out the window and then go home and do devotions telling God that I love Him? Something just didn’t feel right. Because of the speed of implementation of these progressive ideas, I personally believe that sooner rather than later Christian public school teachers are going to ask themselves that same question I did this year and have to make a choice.

We didn't realized how brainwashed we were by the system until we moved out of California! Never again! Our children will be taught differently. They will not be victims to the public school system. My husband and I are first generation of immigrants from parents who ran away from the communist war of WWII. We are proud to be Americans and we love our freedom here. We must keep it.
