Lately I’ve been telling, anyone who would listen, that public schools are horrible. In fact, quoting me, here is what I keep saying: “If you truly love your kids, get them out of the filthy government indoctrination camps.” And I’ve mentioned how homeschooling is the best option. Recently, I came across the Charlotte Mason Homeschool method. And I’m impressed to say the least. The … Read the rest…

A classical homeschool hub could be called a trivium. That’s Latin for “the place where three roads meet.” And it happens to be what they call the three stages of classical homeschooling. The Grammar Stage. The Dialectic Stage. And the Rhetoric Stage. It’s not likely you’d ever even hear the words trivium, dialectic, and rhetoric in a government indoctrination camp (aka: public school). Because … Read the rest…

She said: Homeschooled kids: leave their homes, talk to people, read books, play sports, go to dances, play instruments, debate, create art, work jobs, drive cars, build things, perform science experiments, and grow up to live in the real world.

This first post appeals to my sense of Rhyme and Reason: “Homeschooling enables … Read the rest…
Me: “Of course I’m pro public education. Why would you want to keep education a secret?” A friend: “Actually pro public education means you’re all for public schools.” “Wait, what?! Well, of course I’m not THAT kind of pro public education!” A friend: “Whew, thank goodness. I thought you might be a closet Brandon dude.” Yeah, that’s an actual conversation on the pro public … Read the rest…
Teaching methods matter. Because spongy little minds soak up what they’re taught depending how it’s taught. At least that’s how Charlotte described it. I never heard of Charlotte, or her teaching methods, before today. And that’s probably because we didn’t raise any kids here in the FunderHaus. My wife and I missed out on that blessing. But we’ve certainly seen our fair share of … Read the rest…
