Our Homeschool History

#7: When we knew we wanted a character-based homeschool


Listen Later

(1.) Within a few months of homeschooling Lisa, we went to a character training seminar held at a local church/Christian school

  • This was taught by Ron and Rebekah Coriele almost forty years ago. 
  • Mrs. Coriel told a story about the oldest daughter who told her friend she couldn’t be dishonest because…” my mom won’t see, but God will”
  • We knew that his character-filled lifestyle was what we wanted for our family. 
  • (2) We began immediately. 

    • Nursing home ministry 
  • Explaining everything 
  • Character teaching 
  • Scheduling 
  • Deference 
  • Diligence
  • Following instructions 
  • (3) Our approach did have some downfalls that would later take us years to figure out and fix. 

    • Everything was black and white (which is good in parenting but not a great world view when trying to teach empathy etc ). We were choosy in who we should serve—and gave a negative impression to our kids about people who didn’t agree with us.
