This will be helpful to all those wanting to take their kids edu into their own hands, as so needed today.
This resource came from someone who never did it and had NO IDEA where to go to even begin. She is doing it now...her and the kids (early teens) love it and she still has time to help patriots. This is where she began....I hope this helps. Many want to home school and ask on this board where to begin. I reached out and they got back to me. Many thanks, and I hope this helps those who want to make this change.
Maybe pin this post for a while? 📚
Homeschool mom. If you think about it, most of the school day is spent on herding the group, so when you make it 1:1, the work really can be done quick. With your 10-year old, it'll probably be 2-hours per day with it mostly being him reading the material and asking you if he doesn't understand it, so mostly self-taught. With your 5-year old, it'll probably be less time, like 1 - 1.5 hours per day, but more intensive time since you'll be teaching him/her to read.
The luxury of homeschool is you can do it when it is the best time of day for you. We usually start early (7:00 am) when my son is fresh and full of energy and are done by 9:00.
We joined a homeschool network and do something with them pretty much every day. It is quality socialization with activities that the parents pick. What schools call "socialization" is an inaccurate word -- the better word is conformity.
The parents in our network all help one another out, ie taking turns hosting kids so the parents get a break.
