I ended up living overseas most of my son's childhood. I had to homeschool him because we ended up living in multiple countries. We dragged books around for awhile before moving to an e-reader, got all soets of kits and projects at museums we went to, traveled and explored all over Asia... actually my son's favorite story to yell people is when we went temple hoping in Kyoto and i made him walk to every one we could find the ehole dsy, and his legs hirt to much the next day we had to take a day off 😂. I treated him to a night at the toy and figurine store for that. All the places we went, people we met, foods we ate, things we saw and experienced. He had an interesting childhood. When he turned 18 he decided to join the Marines, and kept traveling. Now he's in college, and had zero problems getting accepted. I kept records of everything and they were thrilled to have him. They like homeschool kids
What I love from my homeschool kids is their love for the written word. To this day I find them being active readers of the classics! Best decision I made for their future.
Went to public school from 3rd to 12th grade. Loved the journey. Some parts were challenging, but I learned how to establish myself within the hierarchy of my peers... and negotiate with people of authority (teachers/principles); deal with bullies, and communicate with ppl who had different backgrounds and opinions. School is more than just learning information.
During the pandemic, schools moved online. We used math based websites, newsela for language arts, and project based learning from home for science credit. So, when families continued to use the tools public schools gave them, once the pandemic was over, the schools shouldn't pretend to be shocked. Also, in our community, the amount of kids that opt to earn their GED at 16/17 and then go to community college has gone up quite a bit as well.
Public school is a dismal failure. often little more than a glorified babysitting service. I am 73 years old and attended some of the best public schools, about half my time spent in a classroom was wasted. However, I am a lifetime student and champion of practical education. My daughter (47) is a multi-millionaire, my eldest granddaughter (32) is a millionaire and we are well-educated high school dropouts. Several of my grandchildren were home-schooled and the better for it. I can teach a graduating class more about success (both financial and social) in one afternoon than they learned in their senior year.
Excellent interview, very poignant!! Really appreciated everything Hannah mentioned. For many, it's a powerful reminder about meeting our children "where they're at", which is paramount to fostering the most fruitful experience for everyone.🙂 What a blessing, thank you!!! ❤
I was homeschooled until 8th grade when my parents divorced. My placement test i scored high level college math but i didnt do the same steps to get the same correct answers so i had to relearn all my math their way this killed my love for learning. I ca t wait to homescool my boys
This is the kind of thing that just gets me fired up. 1. One: I was a licensed teacher for 20 years. I’ve taught public, private and homeschooling. 2. I homeschooled my own kids who went on to Ivy league colleges and are now finishing up their graduate degrees. 3. Yes you can teach your kids at home. Yes the internet was a game changer. Yes AI is even more of a game changer. However, teaching children with learning disabilities or special needs is an entirely different story. Folks find out very quickly that the professional educator knows things unlicensed folks don’t know, especially when it comes to experience. 4. What educators are taught in college is how to teach large numbers of students at one time effectively. I taught 130 kids a day for years. Most of them came from low wealth families with no college education and very little motivation to learn. If you think that’s an easy unskilled job that anyone could do I suggest you try it for a while. Teaching is a complex suite of skills as is learning and mastering abstract concepts. Getting that into the brains of 21st century young people is no joke. I also have degrees in the subjects I taught my students in addition to a degree in education. Thank you for your time.
I saw her speak at a conference a couple months ago. She makes good arguments, and I find no issue with people who choose to homeschool their kids, particularly given how terrible K-12 schools (both public and, to a slightly lesser degree, private) in the US have become. However, I don't think I'll ever be able to get behind the idea of homeschooling as a large-scale solution to our current educational woes. Not only is it just not a feasible option for most families these days, you also can't ignore the oft-mentioned potential downsides in regards to childhood/adolescent socialization. But if it makes sense for you and your family, go for it.
@@IG88AAA Well it's not even remotely possible for nearly all of the nation's children to be homeschooled, but even if it were, the socialization issue isn't really a matter of time. School forces kids to learn to navigate various social situations, particularly involving kids they may not get along with all that well, that will likely later appear throughout their adult lives in the workplace and elsewhere. If socialization is conducted on a purely voluntary basis, kids will just choose not to hang out with the other kids that they don't like, and will not have to go through these same learning experiences. Also, I don't really have anything to back this up, but I think it is probably healthy to have kids regularly interacting with adults that aren't their parents or otherwise enmeshed in their home lives.
@@HenryThree Sports, co-ops, homeschool groups, clubs, church, gym daycares, and the play ground are all places that children find other kids they do not get along with. Homeschoolers do not remove their kids from every social situation in which they don't learn to associate other other kids. Infact homeschoolers tend to have an easier time associating with people of mixed age ranges vs their public schooled counterparts who were only ever asked to interacted with peers of the same age.
@@secondhandrooms507 You make a good point regarding the mixed age ranges, that is something that traditional school environments restrict significantly.
10:56 This girl intentionally wears distressed jeans - a symbol of anger and non-conformity... unless of course it's all about being too cool to rule. Alternative education advocates question conformity. This is post-modern angst. VERY SCARY ... and when she ends her sentence as if handing me a joint, retaining inhaled smoke for added pleasure? A pothead with high-quality advice.
At 6:40 she makes a false claim that teachers do student teaching before they go through their classes. The usually have an observation time in Their introductory course where they watch teachers teach and then student teaching happens at the end of their study. That claim hurts her credibility.
Eh... She is half right. The big problem is, more than half of the population has an IQ under 105. So they tend to suck at teaching anything/anyone. To minimize this issue, take a look around online and see if there are any homeschool co-ops in your area. You'll be able to get tips and tricks from other parents that have already gone through the hardest part, the first year.

These skills should be taught explicitly as a separate subject in school from K - 12.
You can learn these things homeschooling as well, just in different ways

It will also help parents ask chatgbt to write you a lesson plan for whatever grade or subject

Not really sure I would want to give Google or openai any more control over my kid's brain than they already have
Exactly the problem. This still needs supervision
Home schoolers will save the Universities!
Does she have more info on those ai tools?
Is there a homeschool that takes care of everything including grading and uses AI to tutor kids? For grades 2-12?
Can BUY it Like A Home Workout Video?
Most of the theory on education is not applied by teachers. However, most of it cannot be.

If nearly all of the nations children were not forced to attend school, surely they would have time to socialize while homeschooling.
Ye olde Socialization argument. 😂😂😂😂😂

on a side note, it should be k-10 not k-12
