Homeschooling a HIGH SCHOOLER | Mum of 10 w/ Twins + Triplets

“Pack away Zelda” 😂Adorable ❤

[@mantleofelijah]

As a teacher I completely agree with you and you do a great job of catering to the different needs of your children. I also taught three year groups together for a number of years (tiny school) and in reality I needed to teach a span of 6 years with the different needs of the children (in the UK and it’s similar to the Aus system). The one thing I would recommend is that if maths is too easy for Evan change that out sooner rather than later in a term’s time. Evan is great at maths and you don’t want to hold him back. Having said that if it’s presented differently to what he’s used to then that will add breadth to his learning which is good. It’s not all about moving forward but sometimes about consolidating what we know into a strong foundation. You are awesome. ❤️ great job as a mum and a homeschooler 🏆

[@oceanstaiga5928]

I have to say as someone who went to public school in a country where homeschooling is illegal- the part of being able to work ahead in subjects when the child finds great interest or ease is such a blessing. I would have loved to do advanced math earlier but would have not wanted to skip a whole grade level. That level of individual learning just is impossible in a big class setting.

[@loreveugen1932]

Depends on the school though. I did Montessori and could work ahead on maths even though it was a big class

[@VeronicaBeck-i4w]

We homeschooled in Chico California. We had the children taking PE and art college classes at the sametime as their high-school work at home. Today my son has his degree in microbiology and our daughter is dialysis nurse in Florida.

[@cindiallain8542]

It used to be Junior High and Senior High School. Now they’ve changed it to Middle School. I really don’t understand the change but oh well. I’m in the US. I know A LOT of kids that go to University that have been homeschooled. And they do remarkable . I love how much you look into the details of the children’s schooling. Well done Mama. You should teach courses on food preparation. Your snacks always look so good and nutritious. Thank you for the video.

[@karyngarland9414]

Evan is such an intelligent and well spoken young man. How you have the time to individualize each child’s learning program is a miracle to me. It seems to be working beautifully.

[@victoriaseeburger3343]

If you prepare your homeschoolers well, they can be quite successful in college! Our oldest was home schooled all the way through and just graduated in June. He is doing very well in his freshman year, studying engineering. Of course, not everyone has to go to college (or as you say "university"). Trades are another great option, and are making a big comeback here in the states. Whatever Evan ends up doing - he is SUCH a bright young man - he will succeed!!

[@charlottemallentjer8774]

Hi Chloe, I have been using Euka in Victoria for my daughters for years now, and honestly, I love it because they explain everything for your child and make it easier on you as a homeschooling parent and I love how detailed they are because my daughters are special needs and euka is great and flexible. Homeschooling is the best ❤

[@beccasueflynn510]

Even here in the USA, it varies from state to state, or even county to county. I recall my middle niece had to go for evaluation to attend kindergarten as she was born on August 15, the cut off date. Those who were evaluating came out to where her Mom was sitting and exclaimed, "We do not advance students to the next grade at this school!" My sister, her Mom, had to explain that her little daughter was just being asked to attend Kindergarten. They said something like, "Oh well then, sure, she can attend." 😂🤗💖

[@katemeeks8625]

Something that always interested me with home schooling is how you cope with things you don’t personally understand? Like maybe later maths problems that are outside your knowledge.

[@HomeschoolMamaJ]

There are co-ops, tutors, online classes, etc. You don’t have to know everything, and a lot of times you learn alongside your children.

Hi Chloe, I live in WA, SOR. My child is in middle school. Our aus system changed a few years ago . Middle school is yr 7-9 and high school is now 10-12.

[@miche6563]

WA perth? Theyre in Perth too im in perth. Generally theres just the two. It did change a few years ago, primary school used to include year 7, now 7-12 is highschool. Some high schools may refer to 7-10 and 11-12 as different areas. For instance im in my 30s, a SOR girl myself, i did primary school with year 7 included, went to highschool when i 12 turning 13 in year 8, but the year 11 and 12s were called seniors. My kid and everyone i knows kids still have the same primary school then highschool (starts year 7) sitch

😂 Here in Canada high school starts at age 14 which makes it even funnier to hear you say he's in high school.

Did anyone else notice how much Zelda is already "talking"? She just included herself in that whole interaction chattering away. She will be a bright little bean just like Birdie and the rest of her sibs. Birdie seemed to just pop up and start living her best life right away, her baby stage seemed to go by in a flash. Zelda seems ready to follow in her footsteps.

High school is the same as the UK. primary to yr 6 and 7 onwards is high school. 16-18 is called sixth-form here. In the past there was middle schools but they were phased out. Evan is so grown up!

[@LoveBeyondStars]

I live in Canada. Where I live on the West Coast near Vancouver, Elementary School goes from K (kindergarten age 5) to Gr 7 (age 12-13). Secondary School, also called High School, is from Gr 8 thru Gr 12. There are nearby cities where they do have Middle School but it's not common. Other provinces have their own divisions. Some have Middle School but some do not.

England is very similar. We have primary school, aged 4-11. Then secondary school, aged 11-16. We then have college/sixth form for 16-18 years old before university. We also have the same thing with cut offs, but ours is 31st August.

[@tigerkub9]

It's the same in France. Primary school from 6-11 years old and secondary school from 12-18 years old (called collège from 12-16 years old and then lycée from 16-18 years old). You're definitely doing something right with the way you homeschool because all your children are so intelligent and seem advanced and above grade-level for their ages.

[@sylvievincent6243]

High school starts at the same age in the netherlands too. But primary starts at age 4 , so its a total of 8 years. High school however is separated into 3 main levels. The lowest takes 4 years, middle is 5 years and highest is 6 years…

[@PrairieGrace]

So interesting how other countries structure their years/grades. Where I’m from in the U.S. elementary school is kindergarten-6th grade, middle school is 7th and 8th grade, and high school is 9th-12th grade-and each one of those is a physically different school in a different location. But every state and town/city is different because there are also small towns near me where they have schools with kindergarten-12th grade all in the same school.

Primary in the UK is also up to the end of Yr 6, or the school year in which a child turns 11. Secondary school (confusingly called high school in my area of West Sussex but not the whole of the UK from what I understand) is from Yr 7, or the year during which the child turns 12. So basically the same as Australia.

Im curious if you woukd ever do some kids home schooled and some in school school based on which kids wanted each. Or is it a majority rules thing?

[@Theoutdoorpersona]

I live in Oregon (which is in the states). But here in Oregon preschool is for kids ages 3 and 4. Its recommended but not mandatory and if you do put your kids in preschool they tell you to put them whbe they are 3 and do 2 years of it. Preschool is basically the same thing as daycare and it helps kids socialize with kids their own ages and to learn basic school stuff like letters, numbers and colors. Then they go to kindergarten when they are 5 or 6 depeding on where their birthday is. Then theres elementary school which is first grade up to fifth grade. Then theres junior high (which is also the same as middle school just a different name) and thats 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Then theres highschool which is 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Kids usually graduate when they are 17 or 18 depending when their birthdays land. In Oregon the cut off dayw is September 1st so if you are born from September 1st to December 31st of a calender year the kids have to start a year late which means they are starting school later then kids born between January and August. But Oregon has changed how they do things now so that age group (September to December) may be able to start school with the correct age group. But i havent kept up with it because i graduated highschool in 2010
