I dont blame you at all. Schools need to be free of indoctrination and actually teach subjects which include our history

We are finishing up our second year of homeschooling. I ordered the 4th and 6th grade books. Best decision ever! My kids love it. My son (10) has autism and your workbooks have allowed him to work more independently. My daughter (12) has nothing but great things to say about your books and she absolutely loves the cooking videos. You have really been a blessing to our family! Thanks so much....God bless you.

Hi from the UK. Homeschooling is becoming more popular in the UK now. When my children were young it was quite unusual in my small town, I wish there had been more information 20+ years ago! I have worked in childcare all my adult life and know this would have worked for my two. The internet is a wonderful thing for information on everything!

Very interesting ... sometimes I wish I had home schooled my daughter, but I was always afraid she’d miss out on socialization.

One thing I DID do with her were all the library extras and reading .. reading ... reading .... best place to learn stuff. Thank you for sharing

[@ashleywhitt5990]

Thank you so much for doing this. My homeschool curriculum for my 5 kids is about $600 this year. I think I may talk to my husband about your books. Love watching your videos.

[@aresm8890]

Amy you are so inspiring!

[@berrypatch5583]

Thank you so much for helping families! I also believe in focusing on the basics. Our home has always been lower income, so when my grandmother left me a small inheritance I invested it into things I knew worked for our family: Apologia Science books, Rod and Staff English/Spelling/Math books, and Readers. It has been such a blessing through the years... I plan to add the Robinson curriculum booklist/Vocabulary for our children...and slowly add the books 1 or 2 a paycheck. We are not using Rod and Staff Spelling this year...as we did it as a monthly focus last month with Spelling Power-which I got free😉. I love the nonconsumable textbooks, but I definitely have tonassign work...as it provides more than enough. For us Rod and Staff was a great choice as it is easy to find the books under 20 for math and English...thus 50 a year including the spelling workbook and pass down to the next younger kiddo....so even a large family can homeschool super inexpensively this way to and pass stuff down...because for us it cost us 10 cents a page of bw printing and 25 cents color printing at our library...so printing actually costs us more. You also have super affordable preprinted your curriculum for those like us that printing is an issue. There are so many options to be able to do a great job homeschooling inexpensively. If you have the internet on a computer...not just a phone like me😉...Khan Academy is great for upper maths and Xtramath is free math fact drill focused on where your kiddos are...so much is out there nowadays. Money isn't an issue unless you cannot afford 10 bucks for paper and pencils-then I would hit your areas back to school parties for great freebies! What God calls you to do He will equip you to do...and will often rearrange your priorities while doing it! The fancy curriculums tend to be for history and science...and those are great, but basics should be first.

Any ways, What I did love and was able do pass down and share was Math U See. Could not have survived without it. I remember people back then home schooled in fear as many were being reported and threaten with having their kids taken away. My son graduated at 15 at a collage level.

I homeschool in California. We use a free math course online called Zearn. Its K-5 and it is more like a game type curriculum and it my daughter loves it.

[@berrypatch5583]

Something that I don't think you have hit on is the secret blessing in keeping your homeschool simple by using a basics program with classic books...as that is what your program looks like to me, and that is that it keeps mothers from piling on unnecessarily subjects to their plates ( making them less available to the family and making them less efficient in running their home which is a priority as well) and it keeps the children free to pursue what they naturally are inclined to without being overwhelmed...each child needs a basic education, to be widely read, and to have opportunity to pursue the Lord's callings in their life. This also allows you to invest that money into something else if you do have money for fancy curriculum....for a family trip somewhere or regular short local trips. The longer I homeschool the more I see that memories are made at your weekly outings more than with a certain special curriculum. Reading aloud on the couch is so special...especially with your littles.

[@berrypatch5583]

I think it is hilarious that after I mentioned the best benefit isn't necessarily financial...at the end of the video you brought up how keeping it simple and then adding is the best way to go. The more children you add to your home the more important it is to simplify everything...so you can spend time with them and accomplishing what really matters.

[@amymaryon]

Thank u. Yes said so perfect!

Funny you posted this today... Last night, my husband and I just ordered your first grade book. It should be here tomorrow! (Our son is 5) Last year we spent well over $1,000 on School curriculum and we found that the fit just wasn't good for us. Not good at all. 😬 We ditched all that curriculum and started making our own and it has made life so much easier. We are actually seeing results because we simplified! I can't wait for your book to arrive so that I can mix it up a little bit. I love that it is the basic skills because will have to test our son when he enters fifth grade.( Here in TN) I think the testing is nerve-wracking for any parent(s) and I will be so happy to have some reassurance that we are on the right track. Thanks Amy ❤

[@amymaryon]

Oh I am so happy. Yes testing seems so nerve wracking ...do u have to follow a certain test or can u use any standard test?

[@lyonscubs2947]

From what I understand it is to be administered by a educational professional from our school district and I believe it is just a standard state test. Here's what I found on our tennessee.gov for homeschooling. However, when I sign the forms for 'intent to homeschool' this year in August I will be asking the district if I can have examples of what the tests are going to be like when he enters fifth grade. It is a long ways away, but I know that time will come fast. "In grades 5 and 7, same state board approved secure standardized tests required of public school studentsIn grade 9 same state board approved secure standardized tests required of public school students but NOT the high school proficiency test" Thank you for your reply, Amy.

I'm sure you can get some sample tests online....they should be pretty standard. No stress you got this. :)

I will certainly be searching many outlets for some test samples. To keep our stress low- we'll just be prepared. I'd be lying if I said it didn't scare me though.
