OnlySchoolers GrabBag: Ownership of Education

OnlySchoolers GrabBag: Ownership of Education

by OnlySchoolers · Apr 21, 2022

If there’s one thing that pretty much sums up the philosophy of the OnlySchoolers, it’s Ownership of Education.

Find out what it is, why it’s so important to our homeschools, and how to make sure your kids are owning their educations, too.

OnlySchoolers GrabBag: How Has Homeschooling Changed Us?

OnlySchoolers GrabBag: How Has Homeschooling Changed Us?

by OnlySchoolers · Mar 17, 2022

Our kids aren’t the only ones who are learning something! 

In this episode Gina and Christyn talk about how homeschooling has been a tool for learning and growth for each of them. Three questions they consider are:

  • What lessons did they personally learn as educational facilitators for their kids?
  • What growth did they experience?
  • What insights did they gain about themselves and homeschooling?

OnlySchoolers GrabBag: The Words We Use

OnlySchoolers GrabBag: The Words We Use

by OnlySchoolers · Feb 3, 2022

As parents, we’re often telling our kids to “Use your words.” The words we use and the way we use them are incredibly important for successful communication. 

Join Gina and Christyn as they share their experiences with confusing homeschool jargon, and discuss ways to make sure we’re using words that invite and reassure, rather than confuse and overwhelm.

And here’s your link to the homeschool terminology web site we mentioned during the show :
