Hello

Hello, Your video is good in quality and you have many opportunity to grow your channel.

Nice Podcast

Love this thank you for sharing

Love it

I'm proud of you misso

Always love how those alternatie schooling folks are so attuned to children's needs unlike public system.

Here in WA the homeschool 'market' has been pretty rich for a few decades. It ranges from families doing things totally solo, to parents being the directors of their kids' education and picking who their kids will be in front of. I administrated a homeschool group that held to a Christian world view and offered instructors and classes a la carte. The Classical model has a number of coops springing up and then re-organizing as family choices change. Flexibility and parent record-keeping are keys to success. Take lots of photos of activities and date and scan documents!

gotta keep and expand the ability for schools of choice in the USA>

What is the process to start a microschool in Texas i wanna start online and then get a physical location

Standardized testing is a useful tool for policymakers. It gives them data about large student populations at the district and state levels. Standardized testing is a horrible way to evaluate individual student progress. How a child scores on one measurement on one day should not be used in determining grades, placement, interventions, etc. There are many ways to understand student progress through authentic products and performances. Those take time to analyze. Schools use standardized tests because they're quick, they're easy to administer, and because somebody else (the testing company) does the scoring. That's profoundly disrespectful to the work of students.

I just wrote a paper on microschools and the regulations surrounding them, and was required to cite a certain number of peer-reviewed journal articles... it was like pulling teeth to try to find something that was helpful and relevant. We definitely need more studies! However... it's completely incorrect to say that 20 years ago, there was nowhere to go for homeschool resources or that no one had written books on it. 🤦🏻‍♀️They absolutely had. I read them... 20 years ago, lol.

This is the thing about free market in education: even if you're not personally a fan of LGBTQIA, you have to accept the idea that schools including people like this can exist.

Could you rent office space?

>fail into success > choose the customers before they choose you Love it!

It was a remarkable discussion with an outstanding guest. Thank you for this special episode.

Love her upbeat spirit.

I can relate to this so much!! ❤❤ so glad I found this, thank you both!!

Congratulations Benita😊...Thank you so very much for this great interview!!

Any micro schools in PA?

Cecile is an amazing teacher and we are grateful to know and learn with her

School isn’t the place for most people children and teachers. Former teacher here.

Just learning about this!

Why do you feel it is important to gather this information? What do you plan to do with it? Education is a state responsibility, so what is it you hope to accomplish?

Please do a documentary about this!!

Glad to see teachers in West VA feeling excited about the expanding options for homeschooling students. Basically, anything we can do to keep our children from the current crippling indoctrination that's been occurring in most public, union-run schools will better enable the next generations of Americans to become truly literate again (MALA!)

This option is far better than the present government monopoly situation , so thank you so much for all off your persistent efforts. However, this doesn;t stop the endless lifetime taxing of citzens going to corrupt and unaccountable bureacrats. The best outcome would be for this to be an incremental move twoard real freedom of eduction and freeing the public from eternal growing taxation to fund govt control. This kind of subsidizing of private education also does little to keep costs down although it does encourage competition, As you both allude to, regulation can expend into turing the private schools into increasing compliance with the state whereby the advantages would diminish as the private schools become more and more dictated to as per acceptable practices to receive the funds. The onll real path to educational freedom is to separate school and state .

nice

We're getting ready to launch a Prenda microschool here in Bluffdale, Utah because of these law changes. The Utah Fits All ESA scholarship & the zoning issues & microschool definitions made it much easier. Thank you both!

Nice Video Mam,...............,...................

Hey Kerry! I really enjoy watching all of your content. I teach in Georgia and was wondering if you could interview someone to talk about SB 233?

Thank you, Kerry! Such a great conversation about 1-on-1 self-directed education. 🎉

This was so helpful, thankyou ladies!

Do you have any updates on this microschool?

Your content is really awesome

Whenever Kaity tells this story she makes me appreciate her even more 💙

Great episode! Kerry, your "unschooled" book is what got our family started with a new homeschooling & educational journey about two years ago. We're now in the process of opening a Prenda microschool here in Utah! Cheers to you & Kaity. I love the work you two do.

Very interesting discussion, I hope more people get the chance to watch it.

so inspiring!

Alternative education models, like child-centered microschools, learning pods, and homeschooling collaboratives, can retain-or rekindle-your child's natural curiosity and creativity.

Great interview!

Love this! Long ago I worked at Sudbury Valley School and my youngest son graduated from there. Now he is director of Macomber Center, a place for kids instead of school. Its in Framingham, Mass.

love this! I was also a public school teacher from 1967-1969. I left because the principal was very upset with me for being too nice to the kids! I had already read Summerhill about a school in England which is still there now after over 100 years! Later we unschooled our kids and after a few years I moved to Framingham, Mass. and my youngest went to Sudbury Valley School for 11 yrs. He later went to the Museum School in Boston and Tufts U.

Ross and I met in college. He’s always been this genuine. So much respect.

Kudos to Kristine on the incredible journey from college administrator to founding Symbiosis! 🎉 Wishing continued success to Symbiosis and its growing community of learners!

Thank you to Jeff and Laura for taking on this heroic journey. I've been researching alternatives to the traditional schooling models for some time now. Up until last year, when an Acton Academy opened 30 minutes from my house there was nothing out there that offered trust, choice and autonomy to the child. How do we expect these kids to go out into the world and think for themselves if they spend most of their waking hours being told what to do and what to think. And now more than ever we have employers complaining that their prospective employees are lacking in "soft skills." What they are lacking is identity and basic humanity because they coming out of school not knowing themselves. I should know, that is exactly what happened to me. And I was horrified at the thought of my own children going through the same factory model and coming out fitting someone else's mold for my child. I am overjoyed to say that my son (13.years old) will be starting his Hero's Journey in a few days. I so look forward to watching him discover his strengths and gifts and get excited about what he can bring to the world. I am also excited to learn how much value Acton Academy places on the family. With many reporters of schools usurping parental authority and encouraging students in lifestyle choices outside of a family's moral or religious framework I feel that we have found a true gem in the Acton model. For those of you who are not familiar with the Acton model and are not aware of the emphasis on family, they have something called a Family Badge Plan which all families are required to participate in. I have yet to start on ours but it basically walks you through the concept of formulating a culture for your family by establishing a Family Plan. I am very much looking forward to participating in this aspect of being an Acton Family.

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It is more important than you realize!

Thanks Kerry, so excited to have found your channel. We've been homeschooling (really Microschooling, just didn't realize it) for 3+ years now and want to connect with other like-minded parents. Can't quite see where to sign up for the newsletter. Can you share the link here please?

I hope my kids had the chance to attend this kind of school here in Argentina, congratulations for your exciting work!
