Hi, I am a grandmother to a seven-year-old little girl. I am researching homeschooling to do it with my seven-year-old. My daughter went through a divorce and hast to work full-time. I’m very blessed as a nurse I just work weekends now therefore, I am with my granddaughter five days a week, I have been enjoying your Contant and I look forward to hearing more about these books.

John Taylor Gatto is fantastic. I love that he himself taught for 30 years, so he gives eye witness accounts of the atrocities that happen within the public school system. Weapons of Mass Destruction was a good one by him as well.

Just came across your channel! My wife actually homeschools our daughter. :)

Yes, I would love a walk through both those books😊

Your one point about having your kids teach back to you is interesting. My kids might struggle with this if I tried to implement it. Do you have any videos really talking about this any any advice how to do this?

[@BethPavlik]

I don’t have a video about this but I can give you some examples. For math problems, I would have my kids take a problem and act like they were the teacher and I was the student and they would walk me through solving the problem. This would be in place of a math test. For any other topic (like a certain historic event, a scientific process, or anything else that they learned, I would see if they could explain it to their younger siblings (especially if their siblings were already curious about what they were learning about and asked in the first place!) and that would help me evaluate if they understood it or not.

I really appreciate this part of the Montessori approach when older kids get to help younger children or sometimes the other way round whoever has mastered a skill or concept that they then present or assist the other person with and it solidifies their own knowldge of it. I love that quote 'if you can't explain something you know in simple way then you don't know it'

I am so keen on looking into who Charlotte Mason is as most of ehat i have come across seems like she was heavily influenced by Montessori's research. I know when someone in home ed is following her approach, that they will be aligned with our family and possibly easier to just jave social time with.
