#hschat — Public Fediverse posts

Good Sunday, #homeschool, #HomeEducation, #unschooling, & #SelfDirectedLearning families. Week 2 slow #HSchat is all about history and science curriculum. Tell us your favorite. What did you like most about it? How did your kids engage with it? OR, flip the questions and tell us about your least favorite curriculum & why you feel like you wasted $$ on it.

Remember: Use the hashtag #HSchat in replies & check back throughout the week for replies so you can keep the convo going.

@shaninthewoods Taking the ego out of #unschooling and the parent side of #SDL #SelfDirectedLearning << yes to this. I think the hardest part is having faith that the #learning lulls will eventually lead to learning leaps. #HSchat

My #HSchat intro: My name is Alessa and you'll find my personal Masto account @alessa_ed. I'm in the US and #homeschooled my kids from K into college, mostly as a single parent. I still volunteer my time with my state's #SecularHomeschool advocacy organization. I also do compliance reviews for VA families. My biggest challenge was being outstripped by my kids' academic needs with advanced science and trying to find affordable, quality resources that would meet their needs.

Hey #HomeEducation, #unschooling, and #SelfDirectedLearning #SDL families: Today’s a good day to start that slow chat we talked about before the new year - where we pose a question and folks take time to repsond to the thread throughout the coming days? The goal is to create a supportive community for those who chose to educate their kids at home.

Wk 1 #HSchat: Briefly intro yourself & describe your #homeschool philosophy. What's the most challenging part of educating your own kids?
