There are so many ways of homeschooling our children! Some parents and children love working closely with each other while using hands-on activities, textbooks, printables, or living books. These parents may be able to spend the majority of their children’s school hours supervising or even directly working with their children. Other students enjoy being more independent and more responsible for their own school work. Or maybe both parents work and it’s necessary for the children to have input and guidance from someone other than Mom or Dad. Which way of homeschooling is better? It depends on your family!
Right now, there are many children who are doing public-school-at-home because their schools aren’t open for in-person learning. There are other children who are doing homeschool programs because public-school-at-home (or even in-person learning at school) wasn’t working well.
Or maybe your children tried online learning through a public school and found that they didn’t get the time and attention they needed from the teacher. (We get it! It’s hard for a teacher to educate a room full of students, and it’s even harder if she’s trying to do it remotely!) So what can you do if you’re a parent who wants or needs an online homeschool program for your children? Or if your children prefer to do online classes?

I want to start this post by saying that the topic of ‘scheduling’ is hotly debated in the homeschooling world. Some of us want to model our home education after a public school. Others loathe that method and run far away. I want to share why we have a strict homeschooling schedule in this season…
Sometimes we reflect on our homeschool experience from last year, and we think “I don’t want to do that again- ever!” It may not even be that we want to give up homeschooling completely. It’s just that we need a homeschool makeover. Sometimes all we need are a few small adjustments and we can get…
Are you worried about homeschooling high school students? Picture a homeschooling mom of high school-aged students. She’s worried that her high schoolers aren’t making the progress they should, and that they don’t know everything they need to at this point in time. She’s worried that they won’t graduate on time, or that they won’t be…
I love writing. I mean, I love it in a nerdy, weirdly passionate sort of way that makes me very sensitive to statements such as, “I hate writing,” and, “Writing is boring.” For me, comments like that border on blasphemy. But, then again, sometimes it seems we do everything in our power to make writing…
