Homeschool parent: fails miserably at educating their kids
Comments: you didn't fail, you're the best parent in the world!

#homeschooling #SchoolisFree
How do others handle feeling like a complete failure? My 19 year old can only do very basic math, and cannot spell or write and argues about everything. The 12 year old argues about everything also. I am so burned out in doing absolutely everything with zero help. How does everyone else make this work?

One of my favorite genres of #ShitHomeschoolingParentsSay: turning everyday activities that parents with kids in public school *also do* into over-inflated, grandiose delusions.
Charlotte Mason Momma Facebook page: "🙌 Yes!" on what is probably a Baketivity ad. "You see kids cooking. I see... reading, measuring, math, following directions, collaboration, listening, problem solving."

I didn't realize how many of these I'd saved. They need their own hash. #DrunkHomeschooling? #HomeschoolingWhileInfluenced?

Homeschooling Today is one of the most significant resources in homeschool culture.

There's not knowing everything, and there's not knowing *what you're supposed to be teaching.*

Stop the spin ride, I'm dizzy

Oh look, more 8-year-olds who can't read! #homeschooling

She was, indeed, validated in the comments.
Facebook post in "Unschooling Littles: Non-Coercive Homeschooling & Unschooling": just came to vent and find some people who have experienced this too. My mom talks to me about my oldest (8 in December) not reading yet more and more frequently the older she gets. She is making progress on her own with pre-reading skills and I told my mom that and I've even started doing a little more intentional stuff at home since my daughter expressed desire toward that sort of thing. Yesterday my mom called and she bought a reading program and wants to come to my house twice a week at set times and do this program with my daughter because she feels bad for her not being able to read yet. She doesn't want to drive out and then my daughter not want to do it so she wants it to be like "Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2pm we do a reading lesson". That is so not how we roll. 😂 I told her I am willing to let her try one time at least but there can be no forcing and if my kid wants to stop she is allowed to. I doubt my daughter will sit at set times for this. 😂 Also, I told her I don't love the idea of having to be home and dressed (me) at certain times every week. I highly value the flexibility that Unschooling brings. But I am game to try it one time. She tried to do this with another thing a while back and it only lasted 3-4 times so I'm hoping it fizzles out like that. Unless my daughter is a big fan and then it's fine by me.

A note on homeschool illiteracy: when homeschool parents say their child "can't read" they don't mean "they're not at grade level." They really do mean *can't. read.*
Parent in "Raising Lifelong Learners" facebook group: My 8.5 year old doesn't read yet but wants to learn (and wants to try in a more formal fashion) and I ordered Hooked on Phonics to try with her. She doesn't like games on the phone though so my question is: will she still learn enough with just the books and such but skipping the app? In a comment: At this stage in my life I don't have a lot of time during the day to commit to sitting down with her. Hooked on phonics seems like I can actually handle it a couple times a week... [goes on to ask for a comparison to All About Reading]

This is a whole-ass genre

Child A: that stupid teacher doesn't know shit about math, history, or English / I'm sure I smelled vodka on her breath, cheap vodka Child B: stop it Carole! Mom is trying her best

It did not work.

Why don't I believe you, Haley?

(oh by the way Florida gives homeschool parents in certain programs over $7k in completely unaccountable money... it's been proven some of them use that money for Disney and there was nothing illegal about it 😅)

see, it's funny- right, because child neglect is hilarious

#SchoolisFree #homeschooling
Hello! First time homeschooler mom, 12 year old. We started with TG&B and it's just not working out. I'm about to have a baby and I have two other littles at home and there's just not enough time for me to help check all of her work, read essays and keep track of everything she's suppose [sic] to be doing every day. Is there an online curriculum that you all love? Or multiple for each subject? TIA!
