“In the land of human beings , beware those who shame you for your failings , who urge greater fidelity to a system what ails you rather than greater trust in yourself.

Homeschool chat with Stephanie Radcliffe
“ The great educator Charlotte Mason says that when we put children in direct contact with great ideas and get out of the way, “Teachers shall teach less and scholars shall learn more.” Any homeschooling parent who has observed her own children for any length of time will know this to be true. Real learningContinue reading “Homeschool chat with Stephanie Radcliffe”
Homeschool chat with Judy Marie
“Don’t confuse the educational vehicle with the academic destination . In other words, it is less important whether you unschool or classically educate . Neither of these is inherently superior to the other . They are vehicles that you get to the end goal on the map- an educated , self- reliant adult. “ JulieContinue reading “Homeschool chat with Judy Marie”
Homeschool chat with Mountain Mother Runner

Homeschool Chat with Invitations to Play

However, most of what we learn before, during, and after attending schools is learned without being taught to us…. Most of what is taught in classroom settingsContinue reading “Homeschool Chat with Gentle Art of Learning”
Homeschool Chat with Little Homeschool on Prairie
” As teachers, parents and caregivers, we become not scientists with microscope and laboratory, but naturalists, who observe life and nature within its element- plain air (outdoors)-like the modern day ethnographer observing children in real life to see how and why they learn as they do.” Jack Beckman Today’s homeschool chat is with Tasha ,Continue reading “Homeschool Chat with Little Homeschool on Prairie”
Homeschool Chat with Ink and Blossom Homeschool
” Our children are children for such a small season of life. Let their laughter ring out, their imaginations soar, their feet stomp in puddles, their hands clap for joy. Too soon they will grow up and out of their youthful exuberance and zest and settle into the life and routine of adulthood”. L.R.Knost Today’sContinue reading “Homeschool Chat with Ink and Blossom Homeschool”
Homeschool Chat with Breanna Rein
“Children, even when very young, have the capacity for inventive thought and decisive action. They have worthwhile ideas. They make perceptive connections. They’re individuals from the start: a unique bundle of interests, talents, and preferences. They have something to contribute. They want to be a part of things. It’s up to us to give themContinue reading “Homeschool Chat with Breanna Rein”
