I have been a History professor for 25 years. The best students I had were homeschooled. They generally more prepared, more eager to learn and better adjusted. It's one of the reasons I put all my lectures on RU-vid. As a free resource to help homeschoolers.
I love your homeschooling content! I’m in Ontario and I’m starting homeschool for my kindergartener this upcoming fall. It’s nice to hear you talk about real life as a homeschooling mom. I’m both excited and nervous about starting our homeschool journey in the fall.
Hi Bethany, it's so great that you have funding in Alberta, I'm from Quebec and we have 0$ funding for homeschooling! I love your video! They are so informative and interesting! ❤
Creating a school at home was MY goal. I’ll make a private school. Which will be even more valuable than school! (Or so I thought.) home+ school, right? Well it wasn’t an effective approach to home education, that’s for sure. I actually approached homeschool like that for three years, until I hit a wall of frustration. Then I discovered John holt and our homeschool shifted toward the freedom I originally intended. 😝♥️Now that I coach parents, I understand that no two homeschools are the same. Because we all have unique parents and kids inside our families. Also l am in BC. 🎉
suggestion: teach more/advance if kid can handle it since will help them in future - some public schools are 'lacking' in learning opportunities, so your kid could be 'ahead'
Are you filming this with the Panasonic camera? What are you using for audio? We are starting our channel and getting things set up. We homeschool as well. Love your channel, love the vibes, love the colors, thumbnails etc. All great!
Be careful what you wish for! I used to wish for that too until I learned the strings that are attached to the funding. In CA, they have to be registered with a charter to receive the funding and then they have to return the items to the charter if they stop homeschooling or want to change charters. They have to notify the charter online every day when they start schooling and meet with someone four times a year. I am happy to be in a state where I have no funding but complete freedom!
