The ultimate goal of Christian home education is not to get kids into the best colleges or to get the best careers. It is to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It is discipleship. I first learned that Anyone Can Homeschool from my mom. Oh, I didn’t realize at the time that I was learning that, but as a mom, I see that it was her example that encouraged me. Homeschool 101 I was a homeschool student in Texas in 1985. It wasn’t legal until 1994. Do the math. 😃 https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqHZnKssxcm/ What qualifies someone to teach a child? Good morning to every homeschool parent with a disobedient child! Guess what?! You are not alone! This is a sampling of our homeschool topics this week. This is why we don’t need government intervention. Not one of these resources would be “approved” curriculum. Hot take.
