Omg your vibes are great! I am following you..
Love it! I'm glad I found your channel. ❤
Also do I have to pay for membership from hslda if private homeschooling
If it’s my first year of homeschooling and my child never went to a public school does that mean I don’t have to notify any school districts all I do is file a PSA
If your kids are behind their school peers, pulling them out of said school will not help the situation; it'll just make it worse!
Your summary above is extremely immature and childish. And being with your parents all day, does that really sound healthy? Ok, what are your kids test scores?
My son just turned 6. I don't really want to be homeschooling through summer. It's safe to start in the fall??
Beautifully Said ❤
Mom told me I have to know how to read analog clocks and won't always have a calculator... False and false. Sometimes the kids are right
My son is in kinder can. I stop school mow? Legally? I like to homeschool
Great job!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one feeling like this. I just did my first year in a charter and it’s been so stressful!!! I am really considering going back to doing PSA. I’m glad we tried it, we learned a lot because I had to do all the research they barely helped me with anything. They declined a bunch of stuff my son needed and I was like so what is the point of these funds if u wont even pay for his music instrument or experiments when I have hundreds of dollars left over? They rather keep that money for themselves than to use it on stuff my son actually needs. It’s not worth the stress for me. Too much checking in and submitting for us. We will definitely miss the online classes and field trips. Those I’d say are my favorite perks. Having my son participate in what feels like school. I might give it 1 more year not sure yet. I’m a single working mom and I really wish they just gave me that money to do with it as I please. I mean teachers get paid to teach why don’t we? Teachers dont teach for free and just get free supplies. 😣
Amazing review. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this. I love her mission and heart. I'm brand new to homeschooling and this is by far the best program I've come across. It is so intuitive and true to its name EASY! I'm using Easy Peasy for bible, math, Language arts and reading. I prefer read alouds and museum trips for history and easy hands on experiments for science. But its so customizable. You dont have to be all or nothing. So many choices, absolutely love it! I bought the kindergarten workbooks from Amazon but I'll donate too. God bless her for all her hard work and generosity in making this free for families.
You're a communist. You are not to be worked with. You are to be exposed.
Exactly... I agree with what you stated. I just don't like all the reporting to the superving teachers with utilitizing a Charter such as attendance, work samples, and state testing. It's stressful at times. Our children's "homescool" charter said that if we don't do state testing, they will get kicked out. Their supervising teacher wants work samples that are on grade level and state standard for that time of the year. They want our children to learn certain grade level concepts by a certain time. To me, this is not homeschooling. This feels more like public school at home, which it is. Next school year, we may just homeschool independently or private school. I don't need the extra stress.
How do I start on lesson 97, instead of lesson 1, we are mid-way through the year and want to start off later in the curriculum.
Insightful and brilliant!
Learning is about understanding the world; not memorizing it.
what are the obvious reasons
Poor educational standards, safety issues, indoctrination, negative peer influence.
Liberal homeschooler here!! 🙋🏻♀️ I think there are dogmatic controlling people on both ”sides”. I also know many intelligent and unintelligent people on both “sides”. I try hard not to judge a group of people based on a few experiences. We should be trying to find the humanity in other people instead of pushing each other further to the other “side”. So many people (on both sides) are so divided and self-righteous. I wish we could focus on coming together!! ❤
My video really is referring more to extremist progressives who are more public school minded. I'm glad you are open minded. We need more people like you on both sides of the aisle ❤️
It takes about an hour if you are making individual book assignments with a customized book list. It takes about a half an hour per kid if the kid is doing a more interest-led approach where they pick all of their reading. I guess it depends on how many kids you have and how old they are and if you have other major responsibilities. I'm really thankful that at the time it's working well for us 🙂
Lord love ya, lady. I do NOT have that level of patience.
school is shit
I'm with you. It really is.
Mabye but all the school kinda teaches u how to wirk at a job, also i hope ur kids arnt homeschooled
Thank you for your opinion ❤
I thought this was a goofy as video until you mentioned it being a hostile environment and thats an understatment.
Yeah. It's sad. I feel bad for kids.
Put them in a sport. Gives them something to work forward and a reason to want to come.
And making the school work itself relevant and having an environment that's not toxic would also be pretty beneficial 🙂
I hate school. But would hate homeschooling more because then I couldn't play baseball for my highschool.
I hear you. I'm glad that you found something you love 🙂
I grew up like this, we read because we dont have friends. For the love of god send your son to public school so he can have an active social life
Wow. Having a bad day?
@@HomeschoolVoices I'm being sincere
Well goodie for you lol
Everyone can do it ❤️
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽yes!!! Absolutely!!!
❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽awesome!!

As long as you don't criticize those who choose to charter. Getting funds and teaching public school at home is still beneficial for families who want a more homeschool environment where they can spend more time together as a family and learning values. As for the second reason, it isn't fair to be upset that charter kids don't have time to play with your kids. People can parent and educate their kids through whatever curriculum and activities they want. Yeah, you may have to work harder at finding homeschooling families who do it all on their own, but that's all part of the way.
Well, my daughter is in a charter, so that would be silly of me 🤪. But I do feel that charters can detail true education and cause problems with community cohesion if you're not careful.
I agree! We started with an online Charter School in OK for our Pre-K daughter and they gave us $1000 a year to spend on certain things. Of course they never approved anything Christian and they basically made us do public school at home. After 3 years I was ready to do it on my own and this is our first year doing things our way. Guess what? I had to return all the non-consumable stuff that we had purchased with their money the last 3 years. They try to bribe you with the money you get but I'm telling you it was not worth it. We feel so free now doing things our way. Yes, it's more expensive but we can get the curriculum we want.
So what if the school doesn't approve of religious material? That part of your teaching can just come out of your own pocket and you'll still have more time to educate your kids in things you want than you would if they went to public school. Teaching religion is most effective through modeling from daily living, family values, and community anyway. Reading of course but that really shouldn't cost you anything.
@jaciemokidm609 I tried adding my own things in but with what they required and what we wanted to do as a family, we were getting so burnt out. Also a lot of the things they require does not hold the same values our family held. So I cut ties with them and now our curriculum can be all biblically based.
She's just saying that she thought it would be great, but it wasn't. I see her point.
@bethart1985 Same. I get so burned out. We too use religious curriculum.
I feel like what might be thought of as twaddle also can teach a lot about humour and the analysis of character motivations and symbolism can still go really deep. Ie I read Dear Dumb Diary as a kid (basically Diary of a Wimpy Kid for girls) and I learnt a lot about self deprecating humor and how we often don’t see the hard work behind people we are jealous of. I learnt this among other important social skills despite it being a slice-of-life children’s novel with pictures and limited vocabulary.
Good point. But I do wish I would have challenged my kids a bit more when they were younger instead of allowing quite so much twaddle. But they seem to be doing ok now. I was pleasantly surprised when my 16-year-old enjoyed Hamlet recently! So maybe I didn't ruin him afterall ;)
This is my first time seeing and hearing her speak. We just started Easy Peasy for the first time. What a genuine, sweet person. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this program! ❤
I whole heartedly agree. She really is a nice person <3
Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for! I'm going to start with the fallacy detective with my son
I hope you enjoy!
Hi, I just sent my son back to school I told him all the time if you don't do your job I will send you back to school. That's what happen!!
This is awesome. We try to teach out kids to read early too so that independence and confidence can be fostered earlier. It’s gotten harder since we have more kids now but I still stand by it. Just subscribed. I also have a channel with tons of homeschooling content. It would be fun to be friends and connect here. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I'll check out your channel :)
@@HomeschoolVoices thank you so much also!!
Thank you!❤
this may be the best video i have ever seen. every single word of this!!!
Thank you so much!
Which programs have you used that you recommend. I'm thinking of homeschooling my first grader with a charter school but it seems to demanding.
Check out my literature based homeschool video ☺️ czcams.com/video/RUvhdq798w0/video.htmlsi=kOqENn2IzKV5-xEZ
Thank you! I recently came across literarure based homeschooling and this really helped. I have a 4 yr old and 2 yr old so I've started with my older one with teaching him how to read. For his age, do you recommend just getting books that he chooses himself?
I'm so glad you found the video helpful ❤️. I'd let him pick, but I'd also pick books for him that you think he'd like that may stretch him a bit.
Beautiful, thank you both <3
You're very welcome ❤️
Do you have any updates for 2023
I just quit today, and school hasn't started yet. There was a level of stress I was feeling. It didn't feel like the money they give is worth the stress..
It really doesn't, unless there is some really burning desire for something specific that the charter will pay for. Otherwise, it's too much stress.

I watched both of these and they are very helpful and put me more at ease. This will be my first year homeschooling my boys in grades 1st and 6th. I would however like a step by step guide of how to grade their work and do their report cards, this is required by my state. I have not been able to find anything to walk me through it. Also can you change the number of days 180 to 170? My state only requires 170 days and a little over 1000 hours.
