A new report from the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), shows high schoolers are scoring the lowest ever in subjects like reading and math. Today, I talk about why educators are saying this is happening and how homeschooling can prevent your children from becoming part of this statistic.

Taking a pause today from our homeschool discussion to reflect on the death and murder of Charlie Kirk. Hear my story, and why I’ve decided to speak out in this new episode and special edition of Holy Homeschool and Headlines.

If you have social media, this episode includes a lot of video I added - so check it out on Instagram, YouTube or TikTok! I simply go over all of the things we did our first day of homeschool as a mom and family who has never done this before. I let you in on the highs and lows and what I loved about it. I plan to share these special “day in the life episodes” exclusively on social media where you will be able to see first-hand what it’s like for us. Freedom, quality time, and high expectations - that’s our new way of life as homeschoolers! But it’s far from perfect!

In this episode, we go over the different styles of homeschooling. Once you figure out the style you want then it’s time to decide on the type of curriculum you want your kids to have. And finally, get ready! Links to websites I highlight or items I recommend are link on our YouTube page: Holy Homeschool!

Why am I homeschooling? I’m a former 9-5 career mom who JUST chose to homeschool my kids! We start in one week. In this short episode, I simply explain my family’s choice to go this route. I want this podcast to continue to normalize homeschooling and hopefully empower moms currently on this journey as well as moms who are afraid to take the first step.
