Homeschooling has made my daughter so organized and responsible because she’s completely in charge and it leaves so much more time in her day so she can get up and go jogging and she gotten into cooking and baking and cleaning. It’s so incredible to see the growth a 15 year old has made when not being forced to go sit in classrooms all day and be influenced by other teens that aren’t at her maturity level. She went to private school until 5th grade.

[@pauleengould998]

I’m a teacher and I totally agree that homeschooling is amazing for so many families. I agree that homeschooling only needs to be a few hours a day if you have one to time with a child. So many families are making this choice now and I congratulate you on your convictions.

[@karlaruter3221]

You are wise beyond the years. I'm in my late 50s and I regret not being with my children more and I would definitely home school if I could take back time. Keep them home and just simply love them 😊.

[@crystaliantafoya6139]

Such a great video! We are in our 9th year of homeschooling our kids. During our 3rd year of homeschooling our kids we started to focus on interest based learning and it has been such a beautiful journey to watch our kids take ownership of their education and love learning. I have met so many homeschool families that have some of the most intelligent, kind and down to earth kids. I love watching your families homeschool journey.

[@amyleffmann3589]

Great video! You worded this perfectly, and thank you for sharing this. I know i and many other families need to hear that homeschooling doesn't need to look like a public school day. I love how you hit on the socializing aspect of homeschooling.

[@mommabear2many]

As a mom to 14 I thought I had to do school at home.. wrong we are so hands on homeschooling now. The relationship aspect doing school this way is so much more meaningful! You hit the nail on the head here!

[@momto52007]

I agree!! ❤️ Mom of 13 here.

[@2kellyh21]

Thank you for sharing the beautiful life of homeschooling! So many misconceptions out there and us fellow homeschool mommas appreciate you so much! :)

[@cmalenfant1366]

Thank you for posting this. I am a mom of 7 (5 bio and 2 step) and all of our older children went through public. With our youngest 2 children God placed it on our hearts to homeschool. By far I'm loving this journey better! I now look back and wish I could have done this for at least some of my older kids for at least the elementary years. You'll never regret spending more time with them but often I wish I had more time with my older kids. At one point I had sent my oldest to elementary for 8 hours and in addition to that had to pay and send him to Sylvan Learning to receive help with reading.

[@user-mt7zw6xb3k]

I send 3 of my kids to public because they all have an IEP and I cannot provide certain things they need from a speech therapist or ot therapy. I do however homeschool my one teenager. It has been so hard trying to keep regular school out of homeschool. Im going to start homeschooling her all year instead of trying to cram it in in the normal school months. She is different and I'm learning to really go by what she needs. Sometimes we take long long breaks because I'm in no mood to argue with her and result in not learning because she needed a mental break. Homeschooling is amazing because of all the reasons you said. I just wished I could with my other 3 but as for now it's just me and my teenage daughter.

[@gfam4415]

Same ❤️❤️❤️ we are not alone :)

[@StephanieMT]

My kids go to easter seals for speech and occupational we homeschool. Just an option if you need other places for therapy one day and you have an easter seals near you.

[@Live4Him11]

Well said ❤ We love homeschooling as well...... fostering a love for lifelong learning, spending fleeting time with our children, and helping them find their passions and talents early on are just some of the reasons why! Hello Murrays from another homeschooling large family living nearby in Statesville 😊

[@dawnbrown1042]

YESSSSS MAMA!!! Homeschool is a dream, people are just so uneducated about it!! And the socialization aspect… I want to protect my child from all that, because all I remember from school is all the hard friend relationships and clicks and bullying and being insecure or being peer pressured to fit in.

[@dustinsindledecker154]

Homeschool is for Christian crazies

[@beckscroft18]

I'm in total Awe of this, the both of you as Parents and all of the Children ❤ ... This is exactly what matters the most, precious time, memories and taking things at their** pace. Love it & love you guys. Have the best day Murrays ❤

[@caitlynbrooks523]

The socialization comment is so funny to me because they do not allow you to socialize in school you get in trouble for talking to other kids 😅

[@akilbourne]

Such truth. Thank you for this. Homeschool mom of three here and I am BEYOND thankful to be able to spend my days with my babies. You worded this perfectly! 😊

[@jaephilburn5758]

Love this video so much we have homeschoold for 7 years now and wouldn't charge it for the world. ❤

[@MicheleAdamsMakinson]

I homeschooled and my son is now in his 30’s and a successful KZbinr living in a foreign country. I got flack from my Mom about homeschooling until she realized how great it really was. ❤

[@sharonmortimer3843]

You are an amazing woman to do all you do for your kids. When I took my kids out of public school it was the best thing that I ever did. It is so nice to be able to teach your kids in the way they learn. All my kids had different learning styles, and working with them that way was so beneficial to them. My kids loved all the fun things that they got to learn on Co-op field trips.

[@2DeineMutter2]

Sending kids to school to socialize is comical. In my 13 years of school I can’t even tell you how many times I was told by my teachers that “we’re not here to socialize we’re here to learn.” They get at most an hour with their friends between lunch & recess.

[@GreenDayisAmazing]

My fiancé and I don’t have kids yet, but have already said we’re homeschooling. We bought a farm right after y’all and want to homeschool/homestead/farm. Homeschooling is definitely a must for us.

[@narrowpathfarm]

Love this. Kids aren’t robots, and we shouldn’t remove their creativity like governmental school does

[@jdicken3942]

It's always so funny to me when I tell people I homeschool their first sentence is always about socialization 😐🤭 every report card I ever received always had comments on talks too much during class etc. Not only that, but there are SO MANY ADULTS who have horrid social skills and they were public schooled. My kiddos are very active in our church, we have a monthly homeschool gathering that includes trips, projects, community help etc. There are many benefits to homeschooling your children that a public or private school setting will never be able to give kids. If the one thing my kiddos will get considered that they are lacking is social skills, I really am fine with that 😅 because like stated before there are many adults who clearly missed that mark.

[@sallischroeder6908]

I dream of having such a support and coop you guys have in the US. Thanks for sharing your story

[@jackiebrunton9667]

I love your life 😊 thats awesome!

[@stacynissley7336]

I am a public school teacher. I see advantages to every situation. I don’t feel one is wrong or one is right. Definitely depends on the kiddos and the parents. Good luck with your journey! Love your beautiful family!!

[@SH-qx9tz]

This is wonderful ❤

[@normalmomlife]

I wish that was possible in the Netherlands. Here your kids have to go to school from the age of 4 to 18 years. I would have liked to do that, but unfortunately it is not allowed. I could have shown my kids so much more

[@FemkeMuntzArt]

I’m from the Netherlands and we moved to America last year to homeschool our six kids! My husband is American so it was easy. We love it and will never look back!

[@crusader2112]

Your family is beautiful and adorable and I hope to have kids someday myself and I'm definitely considering homeschool. God Bless 🙏🏻

[@Sunflowers36]

I have taught in a public school for 37 years. I think homeschool has many benefits and would have loved to have homeschooled my own children had that been an option. Public school is not what it used to be. So many kids with behavior problems and large class sizes result in not an ideal learning environment. You seem to have a great homeschool community!

[@sugar_is_my_enemy]

So true Danielle as a homeschool mom. I think my kids get way more opportunities and abilities for field trips and interest learning. I do have a struggling learner and that's ok different ways to adapt that would have never happened in public school setting.

[@CarolineDarvill]

Would love to see more homeschool vlogs of what you do daily kind of thing.

[@jodiupchurch]

Hello & Happy Monday Murrays 🥰

[@jjr6929]

Kudos !! Great job. Watching this vs watching some clips off YT showing the crap they pass for school nowadays...

[@kizzlefam734]

We have been homeschooling our kids for 9 years and it has been the most rewarding thing... it's challenging sometimes but worth it.

[@morganakers9293]

Said this so perfectly ❤ I was homeschooled from 5th grade up. I currently have younger siblings that are Homeschooling. ❤❤from my personal experience I loved being homeschooled!❤ When I heard that I was getting homeschooled lol and got to sleep in lol I got excited!😂❤

[@alanadidonato147]

We love homeschooling!! Can you tell me which ring sling you use if you like it? I used one that my old Midwife made me for my first three kids but it tore and is worn out and I’m not sure which one to get next. I use it a lot so I want a good one. 35 weeks with #4. 😊

[@sheilapalmer6829]

Danielle, I have been watching your vlogs since Jude was a toddler and you just had the 3 girls. I admire how you and John spend time and homeschooling with your children. I have seen most of your videos to know that you take them on field trips and do a lot not just at home for school. I am 56 and have 3 kids who are adults now and I regret not doing what you are doing. Like you said, I don't know what I'm doing etc and so, my oldest was ditching school a lot and so in the 10th grade I took her out. My middle daughter was the go and get so she went to college and my son barely graduated. How would it of been if I did what you are doing? I will never know now. You are such a an inspiration and I pray other parents will be inspired to try if they are able to. I love you Murray's and I always plead the Blood of the Lamb over your family and your home and animals❤️‍🔥

[@blueseptember2174]

I mean, you could have had the same outcomes really. You just do the best you can at the time. Homeschooling, as nice as it is, is a privilege to some not most. But it wouldn't be a perfect fix. I'm sure you spent time with your kids in other ways as well. ❤

[@sheilapalmer6829]

I did. Walking to the park and played with them and more❤️

[@sheilapalmer6829]

Blueseptember2174 thank you for your encouragement.

[@joscelyn14]

Danielle as a mom of 2 you are a huge inspiration to me. I'm truly grateful for this video you posted this has been on my mind alot recently. As of right now we are keeping our son in a Montessori private school but this will be my back up plan if my son expresses he doesn't want to go to school. I would love to chat back and forth about what type of curriculum or schedule you use. Unfortunately we don't have any parent friends, let alone ones that homeschool. I think we share alot of similar beliefs and family values. I would really enjoy it if there was a way we could connect, so I could ask you some questions one on one.

[@LucySmithNewman27]

Hello and happy monday

[@AaronCZim]

I think that the main determiner of homeschool or public/private school should be if the parent's opinions and strategies about ideal teaching and leadership match with the local faculty. If they disagree then homeschooling would make sense. Personally, I like to have clear guidance about the actions I take, so if I could learn how to parent from my child's teachers that would be fantastic, but I don't have kids by they way, so maybe I would start to develop my opinions and strategies by that time. I'm glad to hear (and see) that your kids aren't cooped up inside all the time, and that homeschooling can be done anywhere, not just at home.

[@shelbimartin2723]

Will you allow your children (if they want) to go to regular highschool once they’re that age? Only asking for the milestones in highschool that you get to experience (dances, sports, clubs, friendships, etc)

[@momto52007]

There are homeschool dances , sports, etc... etc... And honestly my homeschool children have more quality friends than I ever did in public school.

[@carole3995]

Another advantage when homeschooling is to have a large family in the home to give more community

[@blueseptember2174]

I do public school because as a newly single stay at home mom 😅, i need all the help i can get. Love their school though. I need time to get stuff done because my husband up andnleft and im outnumbered 😮. But when they get home i have all the time to help with homework and dinner. Gotta start a side hustle for income though. Child support and spouse support falls short. ❤ I always wonder how large families have time to pour into each child well. I guess homeschool might be how it could be done. ✔

[@angeldaniel7360]

Some parents are afraid of real world because that World is different but is ok going to normal school!!!

[@brendagoodwin4633]

I think ur doing a wonderful job!!!

[@kathybullmer8884]

I am a 64 year old mom and homeschooled our 4 grown children and help to homeschooling our grandchildren when asked. I would not trade it for any thing. Dorothy and Raymond Moore were the pioneers of the homeschooling movement. If you ever get to read any of their books I would highly recommend it.

[@emmaipsaro4711]

Lmao @ you and john with the raccoon and beavers😂😂😂

[@jessicatounkara8753]

Do you think when your kids are older they will go back too finish high school? I have a college degree and I would not be able to teach calculus, chemistry etc?

[@moragkim4381]

This is why we choose subjects for exams so early in the uk Vs the us system of continuing to learn some of everything, people have interests, I did history because geography held no interest for me. No idea why a teen should be made to learn both when they have preferences and carrers to work towards

[@jaime4890]

Hi guys, I am thinking of homeschooling my 4 year old but I have tons of questions. I’m also in NC. Is there an email or a way to contact you guys? I don’t do any other social media other than KZbin.

[@TheMurrays]

Hey! You can email us at [e-mail] and we’ll try to answer any questions you have!

[@jaime4890]

@@TheMurrays thank you! I look forward to learning everything I can about homeschooling. ❤️

[@ellenpercifield1484]

I'm sensing alot of judgement from some folks in the comment secion -- that may NOT understand the whole-concept of Home-Education. It's not a "one-size-fits-all" box. 99% of Homeschooling parents home educate their children for MANY, reasons; none of which are to limit a child's education or limit a child's way of learning. In fact, it's very much the opposite. Home Education has endless possibilities. ENDLESS. Thank you for sharing your journey, Murray family; you're sticking your neck out there-- keep holding your head up high! I stuck mine out a few times---when it was unheard of. It was not easy to face all the critics; and there were plenty of them; most of which did NOT understand Home Education, whatsoever. They thought it was a reflection of what public school "should be" ---which isn't all that it is cracked up to be, for certain. 6 succesful, Spirit-filled, energetic, always-eager to learn--- adult children later, is REALLY the only proof we need as home-school parents.

[@willscottrell6919]

Kids that are home schooled have a huge advantage over those in public schools. There are exceptions of course.

[@hannahdellinger7094]

I am looking at homeschooling for my children. How did you find a co-op?

[@angeldaniel7360]

Some kids who are are homeschooled are different!!!

[@minnamae25]

Our 2 older kiddos experienced public school and suffered big time with anxiety attacks and to be quite blunt, public school also ruined my kid's. They started to change in personality and becoming disobedient. Covid hit, and at the time we had an 11th grader and a 6th grader. We decided after that fiasco to continue homeschooling and both kid's agreed that they liked it better. Anxiety attacks went away. (Technically, demonic attacks creating anxiety) Our oldest graduated last year, 2nd child is in 10th grade now, 3rd started kindergarten this year and when our 4th is 5, she will also be homeschooled. Best decision we ever made was to pull our kid's out of the public school system. ❤❤❤ People need to see video's like this and they also need to dive deep into what these schools are actually teaching these kid's. It quite sickening and I'm so glad my kid's are at home with me. We use Alpha Omega curriculum for the most part and they keep their schooling GOD centered AND it's all bookwork. No computers and that's why we chose it.

[@FemkeMuntzArt]

Same here! My kids came home from public school with terrible copied behaviors and in such bad moods. My 12 yr old twins cried having to go to school they hated it so much. Homeschooling for one year now and it’s awesome! Not to mention I love spending time with them. I felt like I never saw them or really got to know them when they were in school. Sounds crazy but it’s such a different life now.

[@nancylorenzo7029]

How is Rosie not sure if I missed a post about her

[@roxannetaylor4095]

I think people are wondering about math it’s maybe because you’re not showing it. Writing skills and English. People are not seeing it. They are going to need English how to write papers. Writing skills. I love the way your teaching just maybe show what I’m talking about.

[@zenrelax_music]

[@shulamitberkovich3277]

yeah no its called private school. The best decision we made. Homeschooling isnt the best. I know people that homeschool and those children are very unsocial

[@TheMurrays]

As someone who has done public, private and homeschool. Private was my least favorite. I was picked on and bullied many times in private school. We weren’t rich and a lot of kids there were happy to remind you of it. It actually ranks the lowest in my positive school experiences growing up. - Jon

[@ellenpercifield1484]

As a Veteran Homeschooling mom of 6; To say "homeschooling isn't the best" is YOUR opinion--for you & your family. ALL 6 of ours were extremely social; and were able to talk to ALL ages of people in ALL walks of life. Try to not make harsh judgements on others---for what may have not worked out for you & your family.

[@momto52007]

That's only your opinion! I have 13 children, have graduated 4 so far. My ones out of the home are VERY successful. 😊

[@angeldaniel7360]

I think homeschool is slow and normal school are fast and better but you

[@duffield5943]

You said they meet with this homeschool co op a few times a month.What are they doing all the other days out of the month? Their education should not be a one size fits all. Your middle schoolers if in public school would possibly learning algebra for Math. Your children should be at all different levels not taught as one group. Don’t you want your children to aspire to have a career or a profession?

[@rockinggee4918]

My best friend is one of 11 grown, adult children, who were home schooled. They all have careers, professions, homes and beautiful families. Unless you know them, you would never know if they were homeschooled or attended public school. Im not an expert on education by any means, But this Beautiful, Loving, Smart Lil family is amazing, take time to go and watch this video again. ❤
