Back to school. There is an alternative

We hear it so, so often. If we get chatting to parents of school system kids they’ll either tell us that they couldn’t homeschool or they’ll say ” Don’t tell my child or she’ll want to leave.” We hear how children hate school and would far rather be doing something else. But they have to […]

The usual positives of homeschool are tailored learning, physical freedom, better socialisation, along with family togetherness. This is us, these are the positives we’ve found. Homeschooling is […]

Best Homeschool Workbooks, age, grade, subject

Homeschool workbooks have been our favourite way to formally educate the children, right from kindergarten to high school.  That’s my favourite way and the kids’ favourite way. Workbooks allow mom to be a little bit hands-off sometimes, the heavy work is done already and we moms may just be able to cook lunch while the […]

sometimes homeschooling sucks

If you’re new to homeschooling, I want to reassure you that you’re not the only one having bad days. Things go wrong, it all gets too much, the kids won’t cooperate and nerves get frazzled. On those days homeschooling sucks bigtime. I’ve been homeschooling a long time. The boys are 11 and 9 now and […]

Sara’s family are homeschooling in Thailand. Sara is our first American homeschool interviewee and our third teacher. It really is incredible how many teachers don’t send their children to school.

Homeschooling a 12 year old

My elder child was 12 last week. It’s not one of the big milestones, he didn’t become a teen and didn’t pass from junior school to high school, but he’s changed so much I thought I’d tell you about it. Homeschooling a 12 year old is very different to homeschooling an 11, 10, or, obviously, […]

there is no one right way to homeschool

The right way to homeschool doesn’t exist in that there is no, one, definitive right way. You can consider yourself a homeschooler, unschooler, worldschooler or home educator and I’ll bet you won’t find another family doing it the same way as you. This week we’ve been staying with and visiting 3 other homeschooling families, in […]

It seems to be an epidemic, this non-reading 7-year-old thing, and it seems to worry mums of 6-year-olds and 8-year-olds too. I’m here to make you feel better and maybe help you […]

school is the worst place to get an education

Deep thought is something I suffer from, often the 3 am lying awake variety. This morning’s episode brought me to an idea that I felt big enough to share. I apologise if somebody, somewhere has said this same thing before with figures, statistics and research. It’s new to me, and I hope to you. My […]

Homeschool Science  Some potential homeschoolers are put off before they even start by the idea that you can’t teach science in a homeschool environment, without a school laboratory. This is yet another of those silly myths about homeschooling. You can teach science at home, it’s not so hard. My homeschooled kids went on to sit […]
