What are we making this Podcast?
We're Making a resource for homeschoolers to get new ideas about how to homeschool and curriculum resources.
Who are we?
Lisa - Former public school Elementary school teacher, homeschooling since 2008; interested in baking, reading, and Uber fan of the TV show Friends.
Doug - Computer programmer, was Executive at a startup, architect at another startup, interested in photography, videography, audio engineering, musician; detail oriented, enjoys learning and nerding about in new areas.
Why listen to us?
We started homeschooling from kindergarten and are almost done with high school
Lots of varied experience over that 12 years -- traveling, schooling with neighbors, finding classes, changing classes, chronic family illness, etc.
Our Family arrangement
- Kids in late high school, 3 kids ages 14, 16, 17
- Lisa's responsible for "Core" curriculum and some electives -- history, english, math (which we buy), government,
- Doug's responsible for "electives" -- economics, electronics, programming, interior design 3d modeling, etc.
- We outsource some things: Science and Music education
- We live in TX, so our experiences are in a state that allows us to do whatever we deem best, so please be sure to look up the legalities in your area. Homeschool is legal is all 50 states, but some are more onerous and involved than others.
What topics do we want to talk about on this podcast?
- Curriculum ideas and reviews, including sharing stuff we make ourselves (e.g. Baking Principles, Personal Finance, Media literacy, etc)
- Mechanics of homeschooling (e.g. schooling multiple ages, requirements by grade level, graduation, etc)
- Ideas and philosophy to think about so you can be purposeful about homeschool (e.g. what your goals? Is it working?)
- Q&As
