This week, on The Parents' Solution, I had the opportunity to have a humorous and insightful discussion with Jae Carter. Jae is a former 12th grade English teacher who worked in the public school system for 14 years. She is now the owner of the Homeschool Yo Kids app that she developed as a resource for homeschoolers and people who are considering homeschooling.
What stood out to me about Jae was that she had already decided before even having children that she was going to homeschool her kids because of her experiences within public school. Jae said, "The system is draining for the teachers, for the students...for everyone that's in charge of the school in general." The general lack of love for learning seemed to spread from overwhelmed teachers to the students. In all fairness, teachers tended to lose their joy and inspiration due to endless standards and mandates that were enforced by people who were not in the industry for the benefit of the students.
Jae now homeschools her two daughters, and emphasizes that learning happens everywhere. "Teaching occurs all day, every day." The biggest difference between homeschooling and the public school system is the one-on-one time that children benefit from when they receive education within their home.
Once the parent is engaged, the child will be more interested in education, and that love for learning will grow. At the end of the day, isn't that what we as parents want for our children? We want their childhood wonder to stay with them always; that belief that anything is possible.
If you are in doubt of your teaching capabilities as a parent, take some encouragement from Jae: "You can do this and you don't have to do it alone." That's what Star Students and so many other helpful homeschooling resources are here for! #earlylearningactivities #kidslearningactivities #earlychilddevelopment #unschoolingmom #parentsofinsta #funlearningactivities #simplehomeschool #lifeofahomeschoolmom #learningmadeeasy #tutoringservice #learningforkids #hometutors #earlyeducationmatters #learningwithfun #homeschooladventures #educationalactivities #handsonactivities #childreneducation #interactivelearning #hometutor #earlylearners #learningmadefun #funactivitiesforkids #teachyourkids #homeschoolmomlife #learnwithfun #activitiesforchildren #learningexperience #earlychildhoodlearning #instaparents #earlyyearslearning #homeschoolideas #unschoolinglife #toddleractivitiesathome #activelearning #homeschoolkids #tutoringservices #homeschoolinglife #homeschoolersofinstagram #funactivity #homeschoolcommunity #childeducation #childrensactivities #homeschoolingideas #playingislearning #homeschooldays #homeschooled #teachingideas #learnandplay #homeed #homeschoolpreschool #earlyyearsideas #homeeducator #learnathome #kidslearning #homeschoolingmom #earlyyearseducation #homelearning #homeschoolfamily #preschoolathome #learningbydoing #funlearning #parenting101 #educators #tutoring #educationmatters #tutor #learningathome #homeschoollife #learningisfun
