Do Homeschoolers Really Learn? / Homeschool Myths / Homeschool Myths Debunked / Homeschool Misconceptions / Homeschool Myth
Welcome Back! Here on my channel I talk about all things homeschool from tots to teens in real life, because God didn’t make me Pinterest perfect. I don’t even pretend to be.
This video is part of a summer series I am running here on my channel. Debunking homeschool myths / homeschool myths debunked / homeschool misconceptions / homeschool myths / homeschool myths vs reality
Today is not necessarily a myth but a definite irritation that falls into the myth that homeschool children dont actually learn anthing. When someone asks a child, “what did you learn today?” and that child responds with “nothing” its almost comical from a public school child but when a homeschool child responds the same way its alarming.
Children know when you are actually interested in what they’re learning and when youre just fishing to see if they’re learning. Maybe not on a deep level but they can tell the difference between someone who is actually asking to have a conversation about it and someone who is just participating in some sort of small talk. Ask any child, public school charter school homeschool what htey learned that day and they’re not going to sit and gabb your ear off unless you are actuallty interested.
Stop asking children what they have learned that day as if that is going to be the proof you need to see that they are actually learning. If you want to see a child learn-teach them something.
Show some actual interest in what children are learning. Rephrase your question. Instead of What did you learn today, ask What was the most exciting part of your day? What surprised you today? What was the most boring part of your day? These questions are open eneded and leave room for you to ask more questions.
I encourage you to sit down with the next homeschool child you meet and show a true interest in what they are interested in and you will be shocked at how much they know-and how much you can learn from them.
Thank you Katherine for this homeschool Myth. I hope I have successfully busted it for you.

That’s a great point! They do pick up that it’s just small talk and unless the adult is actually interested in what they learned, you’re not going to get an answer.
