With homeschooling on the rise, there are reasons now more than ever to homeschool. I sit down with my friends Josefa Ciccarelli and Jenna Strubhar to share all about our homeschool routines, the reasons we homeschool, tips to keep the magic alive in learning, where we get our inspiration from, the benefits we’ve seen, and more.

In this episode we cover:

  • Different homeschooling philosophies
  • Josefa and Jenna’s personal homeschooling journey
  • The reasons to homeschool
  • Problems that can arise with modern or public schooling
  • The many incredible teachers there are - whose hands are often tied with many of the systems in place
  • Are the milestones the public education system has created arbitrary, or is there a place for it?
  • The rise in homeschooling and the reasons now more than ever to homeschool
  • What age to start homeschooling?
  • The concern some parents have that they aren’t certified teachers or experts in certain subjects and that they wont be able to properly educate their children
  • Do homeschooled kids lack socialization?
  • How to keep your kids motivated. What do you do when your kids don’t want to do homeschool?
  • Does homeschooling require a schedule?
  • Homeschooling ideas with a budget or financial restrictions like both parents needing to work

  • Creative ways to keep the magic alive in learning
