When I was a kid, my parents determined that public school wasn't right for me. And now, I realize that public school isn't right for ANYONE anymore.
As a middle schooler, I definitely agree. I wish I could be homeschooled. I believe the education system sucks, and it needs to be fixed. My dad doesn’t want to, though. If I ever have kids, and I can, I’ll homeschool them.
And that's why you haven't mutilated your junk
You're doing amazing!! Don't pay attention to any negative comments from those who don't understand. Your children are getting personalized attention from the teacher who cares about them more than anyone else in the whole wide world -- their mom!! Homeschooling is an incredible blessing to your children and family. Keep it up, mama!
AMEN to that!🙏
I am scared I just started yesterday homeschool and so far okay
@@yadi5940 that's wonderful! Good job making this good decision for your family! It is not always easy, but it is worth it! You can do this
What kind of negative comments are you getting? This seems like a great system!
And they don't get in trouble for saying the word "gun".
I'm a retired elementary teacher. I would highly recommend the Magic Treehouse book series by Mary Pope Osborne. They are great reading stories and incorporate a lot of history and geography. My students always loved them. You could probably find them in the library.
We need more of these. Especially in these times. We don’t know what this world is coming too
I have a 4 and a half month old daughter, her dad and I will be homeschooling her until she is 18. I do not want her learning what I learned in school or any of this new stuff they are forcing on our children
@@bellafabbio9633agreed. I don’t have kids yet, but homeschool is definitely what I’m looking forward to.
My wife and I have decided to start homeschooling our children starting this next school year. Part of that curriculum will include Biblical studies. Thanks for all the suggestions and I look forward to hearing more in the future.
Welcome to homeschooling! I’m here for you if you feel overwhelmed. By year 3-4 it’s typical to feel at ease once again.
hello am starting home schooling for my 3 yrs old kindly give any tips coz am really passionate about doing it at home especially after somebody attempted to defile her some months ago
. I want to do it at home where il be sure she is safe and i will be at ease
I’m so excited I’ve found your channel. I have a toddler that is about to be 3 years old feb 21st. His father and I have been talking about homeschooling him! I’m nervous but excited. I’ve already started printing pages out for him for preschool. We will be making friends in sports and going out in the community. Our schools are not safe at all, and it’s been so scary to think about sending our kids to school. I also have a almost 1 year old that is loving to learn already!
good luck!!
I can relate a lot! i have a fear of school shootings and I feel like I can provide my toddler with the most loving one on one learning
Hi Bethany. I am so impressed with all that you put out online. You're not ranting at all. I love that you're talking about homeschooling style. Children learn better when you leverage their learning style and environment. You're doing so great. Thanks for sharing so much
some kids are VERY physical during learning and need to move around, so if that's your case, you can work that into your planning of days (build a simple bridge and see how it works by putting vehicles over it and how to fix it, move pieces from one pile to another to separate into Venn groups or primary things or numeration, basketball basket counting, running a string line to make design or shapes, etc) - - there might be a kid magazine that has subscription to receive countries' stuff in mail (kid makes art or whatever from each place, they learn a few words or food type, and such)
Which magazine is that? My toddler is totally like this and this would be such a beneficial learning style for littles
@@DisMissTnT it is possibly Highlights
You literally answered all of the questions I have been having! First year of homeschooling my 3 year old and I am preparing my mind for our future homeschooling! Thank you so much!!! So glad I found your channel
This is a great video on your homeschooling journey. I love homeschooling my own and there is no "one size fits all". Blessings to you and your family!
So excited to come across your channel! I also have a toddler who still naps and my other two are pre-K and Kinder this year. I’m just this day thinking of pulling them out of school and starting a homeschool journey for many different reasons. It’s exciting but I’m so nervous!! Looking forward to watching your content!!
first year officially starting homeschool w my 4 year old. ❤ thankful to find your channel ❤
We are starting our research to start potentially homeschooling. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Awesome resources! Thank you!
i was just checking your channel yesterday for uploads!! i enjoy your content. hoping you all are well and settled in great. May God bless you and your family!
Just took a little break during summertime but I’m back at it! 🤍 Thanks so much!
Omg this is perfectly timed!! Just started thinking of possibly homeschooling
How is it going for you, did you find something that works?
Thank you for the content. I’m learning a lot with you!
This is so awesome. My son is 2 and currently in daycare while I’m in nursing school, but I want to homeschool when the time is right. This video covered so many things I didn’t even think about!
You can do it! But it is EXTREMELY hard! I was in full time Grad school while we homeschooled our children. Primarily, my husband took all of the homeschooling load.
Awesome info, thank you.
Thanks for sharing, Beth!! ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Hi Bethany. Homeschooling is such a wonderful adventure! New subscriber here. I just found your channel. Love your enthusiasm! I'm a veteran homeschool mom of 4 but love to stay in touch with the community. Nice to meet you! ~Gina
So very helpful! Thank you for the video and ideas for my almost 3 year old!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I just started
I’m starting our homeschool journey this next school year!!
Absolutely amazing
So much information!! ⭐
Great video! We homeschool our kids as well and I also share different curriculums that we have done! Really loving the Teaching Textbooks Program! :)
Ty Bethany you help me so much I'm new into this love your content 😊
I don't concern about the education but about the time table or the schedule you maintain for your children in their soul and mind..how lucky is your husband and your children to have a mother and a wife like you..
Homeschooling is fine, as long as your kids do activities that help with their social heath it really shouldn’t matter if you homeschool or not.
Also, homeschooling can help your kid’s self esteem. You don’t have a problem with your kid being bullied by other students and you can adapt to your kid’s needs.
Most do that
Just found your channel! I’ve been homeschooling for 2 years but I wanted to see new ideas :)
This video is so informative. Thank you so much for sharing this mama. I’m homeschooling my babies and taking in all the advice I can get from other moms who are on the same path. ❤️
Love this !!!!
I’m so glad! 🥰
Love this! I am actually considering doing a video similar but have older children. So many people have so many questions! Great information!
Please do!
This is so helpful! My son is 2 right now and I think I really want to homeschool him. Even if it is for a few days out of the week when he his school age later on.
This was such an awesome video! Thank you for sharing and being so transparent. It's our 3rd year doing this and we are STILL figuring out what works.:-) Btw, love your glasses! Where did you get them?
Good idea We can see Finland Education System .Schools Kids go at age 7 .
GOALS 🙌
I can relate to so much of what you’ve shared. I struggled a great deal in school and In fact had to be clawed into the doors of kindergarten by the teacher. I’ve never forgotten how traumatic that was and on top
Of that, I cheated a lot in kindergarten, pretending to be done with things I hadn’t actually done. I also cheated in 4th grade and cheating in general became a habit for me and it makes me sad to look back on how lost in the shuffle I got. I actually had another teacher dig her nails into my arm in 4th grade when I wouldn’t stop crying and she didn’t know what to do. I just didn’t thrive in the school system, even in private school. I am looking into homeschooling now. Thank you for sharing all this information!
This makes me so sad. I’m sorry your experience with school was so traumatic. Sadly, your experience isn’t as rare as it should be. Hugs and love being sent your way. ❤🤗
Montessori works great for all age kids
U can do it at home too Amazon has that all
Kids need music not all sheets
Most kids learning multi Sensory
So glad you posted. Was missing your videos.
Nice couch by the way!
Thank you! Feels good to be back!
I Recommend you Chris Ferrie, he has very interesting books about science for kids!
Hi! Great videos! I was homeschooled all my life growing up and I still practice it through online schooling. Currently I am at Cal Poly Humboldt. It continues to be a wonderful experience. What motivated you to promote homeschooling in your family? The reason I was placed is because I was sheltered due to nuclear testing in my sector. I think it's the healthiest option whether one is sheltered or not. More power to you. :)
Is there anything you wonder about from me? I graduated Summa Cum Laude from a prestigious private school with a B.A. in Astrophysics. I'm a Doctor now specializing in blood through Tiffany & co.
I homeschool my kids too. ❤
We love homeschool 🤙🤙
Used the trace the letters!
Can I see a video of u using the schedule like how u implement it it will be super helpful ❤❤❤
I'm think of doing my children that I don't really trusting school so am choosing to do that
You’re doing great mama! We are starting our first year of homeschooling this year. I’m nervous, but so excited. How did you make the hanger for the daily rhythm?
Thanks for all the information! Can you send the link for Daily Rhythm Schedule? Is not opening the one on the comments, thanks! Blessings
How do you know which curriculum you need to follow for each grade?
Nice 👍🏻
I like your glasses! Where did you get them?
Hi first time watching your content came across it while looking for homeschool stuff. My husband and I decided that it would be best for my 3 autistic kids to be homeschooled due to schools not being great specially for autistic kiddos. Im trying to inform myself more on how it works.. like what do I have to do in order for my kids to be homeschooled are you supposed to talk to the school board or something of that sort?? But anyways thank you for your content it was so helpful 💛
Hello
I'm UK based and thinking of home schooling our SEN son. So much negativity towards home schooling and I honestly didn't know where to start. This video has helped alot to see what a average day of schooling for a 4/5 year old should be 😊
There’s so much negativity because the slave master wants all the control. Homeschooling takes away their control, and it also empowers the slave.
Not me literally watching that and I myself am still learning and dont have kids hahaha but its so interesting
An interesting video. Why do you home school your child?
Hi I would also recommend Third grade Jumbo WorkBook
When do you have time to plan and prep lessons/activities? Struggling with this at the moment.
Random, where are you leather couches from??
Question about you registering with the school… you were able to get a teacher to help you and over see your homeschool program? Could you talk more about this? I have never heard of public school willing to partner and help. I would be interested in finding out more, thanks!
Can you please share the document in the minute 5:15 to print it please, or where I can find it?🤔
That’s what I would do
Would you say what was your reasons why you choosed homeschooling?
Interesting video. Why do you do home schooling?
Sister in Christ WOW, what an Amazing video, You are doing awesomely well with your homeschooling in Jesus name 🙏💖
I Love how you did the wall organizer thing and when I saw bible, my Heart Jumped in Joy because this is the very reason homeschooling is so much better, they really all need that. So personally Thank you Deeply for your great explanation in all the books we can use very fun indeed for them and thank you for answering that question about the time in such studies 🙏
May God Keeps Blessing You with more Wisdom and Knowledge in Christ for your Beautiful kids. God Bless You 🙏🙏🙏
Home school is better if you want your kids to actually learn.. public schools don't really care about our children's future Anymore!!! They just want a check.. One on One with each child is SO MUCH BETTER. THEN HAVING ONE STUFF IN FRONT OF A WHOLE CLASS ANYWAYS UNLESS THEY CAN MANAGE LOTS OF KIDS WELL.
I am thinking to home school an online home school. However, they do not start till year 1 till children are 6.
Can you tell me how to home school to set up for just their nursery & reception for the time being and tools, work sheets, books resources needed?
As I don't want them to set foot in a school.
Is their any way I can contact you?
Where can I find school material for a kidergatener?
Congratulaciones, how can I get a bible
Hello dear. I really need help. What home school do you apply? In google so many things i dont know what to choese. Im located in Russia but here no one know about home schooling. My son talk only english. Pls advise me good school🙏🏻
How long is each subject ?
Please mention syllabus and book name for children
My. Two little daughter are 7 ans 8 years old how can I star school at home?
Can you send a link to the Christian online school?
I really want to be homeschooled 😩😩😩
Bethany, I love your channel. I’m a new homeschooling mom of a 5/6 yo too. I can’t locate “Mystery Math”, where did you purchase it?
I got it through the school board we are with! I'm not sure where they got it from either. Sorry i wish i could help more!
@@BethanyFontaine are you in a state where homeschoolers have to report to their Board of Ed
Yes isn’t this a great channel. She helped inspire this one where we show what’s possible with homeschooling
How much time do you spend on each subject and do you teach them all subjects everyday?
Good question
Hello, could anyone please assist me? I'm in search of a free or reasonably priced Christian homeschooling curriculum for my 10-year-old son. We are presently residing in Florida and will be relocating to Abbotsford, BC, Canada next week. Thank you.
I used in my mom's phone. It's in the nearing factor diggy.
I feel like I’m starting late . My child is 5 😅
Genuine question . Aren’t parents worried about how their kids will attend college? Or what about college ? I’m genuinely curious because I want to homeschool my kids
Just like any other kid, they apply to university once they’ve graduated.
@@kaylahaas I heard it was a different process can’t take a certain test not sure which one
@@vonpaul998My husband was homeschooled. He had to take state testing which granted him his diploma/ged. The same thing I got when I graduated public school. So it’s all the same 🙂
This is a good question. At the end of high school (home education) your transcripts and tests will be sent to the county school district. They determine this as graduated with the state school board. There’s also an option for dull enrollment for college credits for last year of high school for those who are home educated.
And all university and college accept home educated high school diploma’s depending on the same factors as a child in public and private school would need.
Love your color editing and the look of your picture. What camera are you using? Thanks for all the info!
Doing homework is just doing homeschool homework
If you homeschool until 12th grade, how will the children receive their high school diploma?
That’s a good question
Diplomas can be ordered online.
I homeschooled my daughter for 7th and 8th grade. I ordered her diploma and used it to get her into high school. She wanted the high school experience. She's also on the Honor roll at public school.
I rarely comment on anything but as an adult who was homeschooled I feel strongly on this subject. I’d think carefully about how it can affect your children later in life. I hope for the sake of your kids you are able to educate and socialize them properly. Granted there was a level of fundamentalist Christianity thrown in with my experience the fact is that as one of 6 homeschooled children I and my siblings have faced real and serious struggles as adults due to our homeschooling upbringing.
The same could be said about many adults who went to public school, and the negative effects it had in us.
With that said, i’m sorry about your experience with homeschooling but not all homeschoolers are like that so dont lump them all together. Many homeschooled children grow up to be amazing, independent and healthy adults.
I would've been in big trouble if you were my teacher! 😉🤤😉🤣
🥴
Just happened upon your beautiful channel. I am a 4th grade teacher at a Catholic school. I have to admit, when I get new students who have been homeschooled, it is quite rough for them at first. I am sure not all homeschooled kids are like this but the one's I have encountered are seriously lacking in their ability to communicate both verbally and in writing. They can read well and answer multiple choice questions but they lack critical thinking skills and the ability to construct sentences and paragraphs. Also---and this might just be a coincidence - their printing and cursive is---atrocious! I don't know why. Is much of their work done online? Also, they can't copy from the board, or even a book.
That said, if I had kids and was faced with our country's public school system, I would homeschool. I don't see it as ideal, but when faced with the alternative, I would do it.
Best of luck to you. I'm sure you will be able to make a success of it.
I’m wondering if the kids you get come from parents who were having a really hard time homeschooling, so they ultimately end up sending them to a school. Furthermore explaining their developmental delays. Just a thought!
@@toriblackaby2211 Good question. Do you have kids? I don't. I find that most parents who have been homeschooling their kids seem almost delusional.
MOST of the homeschooled kids are behind in writing and communications skills. I have nothing against homeschooling but I don't know how objective a parent can be about their own child's abilities. I understand that if it is your own child you would want him to be successful and wouldn't want to face the fact that he was failing at something.
On the other hand, from what I hear about the public schools nowadays, I wouldn't want to send my child to one. Depending on my options, I would homeschool my child if I needed to.
What are your thoughts?
@@melissasw64 I do have a kid, she's not school age yet though. I agree that the public school/education system is scary these days.
I can understand why some parents would fall behind when it comes to being diligent in homeschooling their children. I definitely feel like not all parents are meant to be homeschool 'teachers'. Some decide to do it out of fear or whatever other reason, and neglect to prepare themselves for what lies ahead.
It seems like a lot of work and you'd have to be very intentional about a lot of things. I'd love to homeschool my daughter once she's old enough. Our plan is to start with Pre-K to see how it goes. But I'm hoping to be realistic and very honest with myself as to whether or not I'm really cut out for this. I think that's where some parents might fail, because they're scared of the alternative, ya know?
So free and open style. and then the children have no choice whether or not they want to learn about religion.
The comment underneath me kinda urks me obviously don’t listen to trolls but take some constructive criticism
As a 33 yr old woman who was homeschooled as a child… don’t do this to your kids.
Why would anyone homeschool their children? I just don't understand it. Teachers have the necessary education to teach. If you are not educated, I don't trust your ability to teach anyone. Besides, school is important for developing social skills.
I don't think this would be legal in most countries.
I think a few google searches could answer your question ☺️
And I know it’s a lot to assume online through reading, but by the way you worded things you are in fact not trying to understand. You’ve already come up with your own understanding, and are trying to cover up an unnecessary judgement on your part by wording it like ‘I just don’t understand’
We as parents know that our kids can learn much more at home if we are also willing to teach them and prepare our selves. It's also very convenient because you dont have to pay expensive tuition,, some unnecesary and also expensive books, getting up very early to give them breakfast, prepare lunch, dress them (if they still dont have the skills), lots of material that you dont know why it always gets lost, special and horrible uniforms, etc. Also the bullying and many extra things, unnecesary homework (and a lot of it parents have to help them do it). I'm considering myself homeschol my 2 youngest. My country public school is terrible as well. There are many more reasons I think my kids would be better off if they were tought at home by me or my husband .
Hi! Most elementary education programs focus on classroom management vs the content of what they’re teaching, especially for elementary education. When you teach a child one on one you can educate yourself to teach the students. This is what teachers do as well. I’m a college professor, btw.
Like others have pointed out there are many reasons why parents do it. Just to add on another one: because of the school shootings in the USA. Just today it was on the news that a Christian school in Nashville was attacked and 3 adults and 3 CHILDREN were killed by the monster that's human trash. Why would any parent want to risk their kids' lives if they can afford to homeschool.
Seems a little sexist she only met with moms 🤷♂️🤣🤣
Dads should be making the money
@@MysteryExodusexactly lol
I wrote you on Ig
I love this video so much.
