Deschooling 101: Do This Before Even STARTING Homeschooling!

[@annaleecornejo]

I feel like this would work great for younger children. Not so much for high school kids. Example. If I let my daughter stay up a little later to read or something she’ll get on her phone till she finally passes out late at night and she’ll sleep all day.

your videos are extremely helpful however they don't come up often when doing a KZbin search for homeschool Australia videos luckily I found your channel again

[@howtohomeschool]

Oh sorry! I think it's because it is such a new channel. It's picking up traction however and will hopefully be more popular soon. Thank you for the encouragement though!

Hi. Thanks for your videos. Im wondering why deschool when you are using BJU which is a very traditional. Id love to hear your thoughts

[@howtohomeschool]

You're deschooling from a school institution...not from a traditional curriculum. Does that make sense

[@michelle-jogarfield6175]

How does deschooling work in regards to being registered with the government? How long can we take off before we officially start our curriculum?

[@howtohomeschool]

It really hugely depends on what state you're in. If you're in a relaxed one is much easier and you can do what you want. If you're not, you need to marry it with reporting requirements. In my state, which is relatively strict, the look at the overall year. So you could take a few months off and then go full steam ahead for the rest. You can also chat to the government ppl who are helpful and understanding.

I have been homeschooling a certain way for a while and it’s a traditional type of schooling. And I want to change it completely to something else but I feel like that could require some deschooling to introduce dramatic change especially if the kids are burned out.

[@howtohomeschool]

Yes. It's honestly the best thing to do with burnout. We often think the kids get 'behind' but the main thing is to keep things fun. And interesting..if it's fun, you can't stop them learning!

Try some science fiction: A Fall of Moondust by Arthur C Clarke Citizen of the Galaxy by Robert Heinlein Omnilingual by H Beam Piper

[@howtohomeschool]

Fiction can be a great way to get kids thinking and relax them while also educating.

[@psikeyhackr6914]

@@howtohomeschool Educating about what? That is why I said SCIENCE Fiction. I do not mean junk like STAR WARS. Trek isn't much better. A Fall of Moondust by Arthur C Clarke Clarke used Plato's Allegory of the Cave to explain reality via infrared. Not your average educator.

Do you recommend doing this with a preschooler whose going into kindergarten

[@howtohomeschool]

No. They're already deschooled. A preschooler should only have play for thier curriculum anyway :)
