[@justd02ofus]

We Home schooled all four of our children and it paid off well , Now my Son is a Doctor and i have a daughter thats a veterinarian. The other two has started their own Businesses and doing very well.

@Michael Mikenleeds thanks for the success story with your children and homeschooling. We're starting a 7th grader for the first time. Do you have any suggested tip or curriculum that worked for you that you could pass on? We're following more of a Robinson Curriculum for the moment.

Thank you so much for this video!. I am struggling to Homeschool my children. I feel overwhelmed and think that I am messing things up but this encouraged me. Thank you.

[@hmbutler13]

My hubs finally gave me his blessing last night so I’m doing all the research I can right now! We plan to start homeschooling next school year bc as of right now the kids are very happy in school. They love their teachers so I don’t want to remove them from a positive situation. I have been picking everyone’s brains and this video is so helpful!!! Thank you!!! ❤️

[@leorajs]

Encouragement here! Have a 29 year old that I homeschooled most of the way. His ACT score was 33. He skipped most of college, and for him it was right. He is in IT in a hospital and has worked since he was 17. Relax... curricula is good and needed, but keep in mind learning is ongoing, for life. People gave me stuff, and I used what he needed. Have fun!

Love the tips in this post... spot on!

[@mthomas9781]

From the South I'm considering homeschooling my 10 yr old son who's in the 5th grade now. He has been in public and online schooling and he still struggles. My son has been really struggling with medical issues and this has been his worst year and his online school is currently retaining him. Your video has been the best I have watch so far and you have answered some of the questions that have been twirling around in my mind. Thank you and I really look forward to watching your other videos and planning for a successful school year for my son.

[@lindawilliams7273]

Home school may be the best thing for him. Children need affirmation, support and love while they learn and grow.

[@auntpurl5325]

We homeschooled for 12 years, and the kids are off to college and doing well. I really wish we had found Classical Conversations from the beginning. We found it in middle school and high school. I was worn out through the elementary years be re-inventing the wheel every year! I also wish we had SLOWED DOWN to enjoy it more. The days are long, but the years are short.

[@sarahfrancine3564]

Just randomly found your channel. Definitely needed this today. This year has been crazy. I have been home schooling this year and we have loved it. Now I don't want to send my girls back to public school. This is so encouraging!

I am seriously thinking about homeschooling! I'm just fed up with public school and my oldest is only in the second grade 😳 I feel like it's just going to get worse! They've already taken God out of everything! Thanks for the video, you hit on some very good points and I will definitely be looking further into this. I just want my boys to be smart, decent humans!

[@Awkwardtaylor]

My son is in 2nd grade and we did. Now im able to do bible classes as well my kids. We love it. We went through a umbrella school which helped us out a lot.

[@MR-dl4fv]

Yes, that is what got me started too! I hate how God is not allowed to be spoken about, yet the kids play and talk about the demonic Ouji game and play the demon summoning “Charlie Charlie pencil game”. Totally unsafe environment. Plus now I’m high schools they have transgenders playing women’s sports and using their locker rooms. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@davidcoxinparis]

Perhaps all of you parents should investigate WHY religion(s), god(s), and public prayer(s) are not allowed in public schools. First hint: the answer is in the US Constitution's freedom of religion clause and tradition. Second hint: the concept of fairness and equality should apply to all 18 major religions and hundreds of minor religions around the nation and world. Also, please educate your children about all these other religions as well as non-religion (agnosticism, atheism, deism, humanism, etc.). It's a big world and understanding our fellow humans is important.

[@annemarie5622]

Note ToSelf why not send the too a religious school?

[@karaa7595]

David Cox they never said they WOULDN'T teach their kids other worldviews. BUT as parents, they begin with teaching their children their OWN worldview. That's how families are meant to work.

[@rb7454]

Wife and I are considering relocating back to my home county (Moldova) after we pay off her federal student loans, and build a home in my village (expected cost about $50k), and then homeschool. Currently looking at curriculums. The only down side is that no one home schools in my village or near by city but we intend to! So much flexibility and focus on discipleship. Can’t wait to get going on it!

[@oceanaubreyasmr3657]

This is all very helpful! I don’t homeschool yet but I am planning on it when our kids are school age. We just started telling our families and getting a lot of mixed reactions. You’re right. Their opinions don’t matter!

[@bethanyatkinson6944]

and often, (though not always) when they see your kids reading sooner than the cousins, and being more responsible and respectful, they come around. My mother in law thought I was a terrible person for homeschooling... Now she asks my advice for the cousins

[@stephaniemushonga5150]

I just found this today. I think this list is great. We are starting our 3rd year of homeschooling so we are relatively new. What I didn't expect was that I would like homeschooling. We chose to pull kids out of public school because we thought God wanted us to do it and I found out that I like it! It is definitely hard at times but over all I have no regrets. I particularly like the tip, "YOU DO YOU!" The bible says that "he who compares himself to others is not wise." I find myself struggling when I start looking at what everyone else around me is doing. When in focus on God and on my family life is simple. I am still building my community. We have had a few false starts but we are building up a group of close friends.

[@mdwms6152]

Sounds like you are having a great adventure! A support group really helps.

[@emilyviolet9924]

I've just decided to homeschool my 4 year old and 3 year old... and oh my gosh this video helped me so much! I've tried 3 year old kinder with my daughter for the past two years but she HATED it resulting in my decision to homeschool.

I started homeschooling today for the first time 😬I have a 4 & 2 year old boys. My mom can’t get her head around it, them not going to “school” . It was a bit frustrating at the beginning of the day (the reading part) but once we got to the arts and crafts it was great! I need to relax more. I feel like my kids sense when I’m frustrated, I know they won’t learn how to read in one day or weeks lol but hopefully i will get the hang of it soon ! Thx for the video 😘

[@sabinachka17]

HelloGorgeous byJenn hey there, I was just wondering how homeschool was going for you and if you’ve gotten the hang of it? I’m so nervous to start and doubtful that I can do it.

[@honoratbozor7013]

Hi Jenn before starting homeschooling do we have to let the community school know. And do we have to register the children with a school Biard? Like how do we let the town know that the kids are homeschooled not just sitting home escaping school?

[@angelawilson1633]

@@honoratbozor7013 hello, check online for the LAWS for homeschooling in your STATE. In Ga, l had to go up to the school in person to take my children out. (You'd probably want to do that at the end of their last school year) I had to register them with the board of education two wks before the school year started. For each child registered l received a student register number. The best advice that l can give you is check with your BROAD OF EDUCATION everything you're looking for should be on their online website. Also there's a online program called k-12, it's school but it's online. Depending on your income you can qualify for a free laptop. Hopefully l was able to help you somewhat. I hope everything works out for you.

[@cinma4890]

Great great advice! Covid has made me change my mind on public schools. We do not start till September in Texas. So before it even starts I am trying to learn so so much to make the decision on what’s best for our family.

What a great insight to homeschooling! Shared it with my daughter in laws. With all the craziness going on in the world, I keep telling them they need to consider this option. Only 3 out of the 11 grands are in public elementary, the rest are in private schools but I can’t thank you enough for portraying a true picture of the hurdles / concerns they may face if they choose homeschooling. 👍🙏😊

[@jamesfv1]

I’ve been a home school Mum for nearly two months and I’m doing horribly. We had to do distance learning with his school but I had to pull him out because it was massively impacting his mental health. I’m a bit stuck since I’m disabled, and due to my health, I can’t leave the property most of the year. How do I be creative with a nearly 11 year old? He has passion subjects that are home ex (baking and cooking) and I’ve realised how happy he is when he’s being creative with his hands so he’s doing some awesome stuff. He finds text books better and hates any online programs with a passion. Some days I have to be on the couch and nap. What can I do to feel less horrible as a teacher and Mum and human? I’m constantly trying new things but we have to legally do maths and English and science. Science we can cover with his passion subjects. But he has to do some specific things or I’m in the crap with our home Ed department. I’m at a bit of a loss of what to do.

[@mdwms6152]

Sounds like you might be in UK or Australia (since you said Mum and maths...)? Sounds like you are doing okay. He has interests you ca capitalize on. Could he make a 'cooking for kids' vid? Perhaps there is someone who could be a tutor? With an older child, they may have to get math by doing something like woodworking, or at least as part of that. Is he mature enough to understand that he must live up to state standards? Find out what they are and lay it out for him. He may come up with a solution!

[@mdwms6152]

Just ask at different stores. JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts give a discount, for ex. Call around and ask. You can say you are a private school teacher. Give your homeschool a name, like 'Your Last Name Academy'. It's an adventure! I just did a search using the term 'store discounts for homeschoolers' and you will get a lot of hits.
