168. The Evolution of our Homeschool & the Principles that Guide It
I never planned to homeschool. I'm a former middle school teacher, and the only homeschool family I knew growing up joined a polygamist group. Yet in 2020 I pulled my kids out of public school, and on our very first day everyone ended up in tears. In this episode I walk you through how our homeschool has changed over six years. We went from rigid curriculum to deschooling, then to child-led learning and concurrent enrollment, and finally to the vintage curriculum we use today: McGuffey Readers, Ray's Arithmetic and Harvey's Grammar. I also share the five principles I now consider non-negotiable for a successful homeschool. I call them the Old School Advantage. Whether you're new to homeschooling, wondering about unschooling, or homeschooling teens, this one's for you.

165. Struggling Reader? 3 Things We Do Every Week (Including a 190-Year-Old Reader)
Is your child a "good reader" who can't actually tell you what they just read? A distressed mama asked me in the comments how we handle struggling readers, so in Episode 165 I'm walking through the 3 things we do in our homeschool for reading comprehension: 1. Read-alouds — chosen by me, read purely for the joy of the story (no worksheets!) 2. Quiet Reading Time (QRT) — 30 minutes a day, at the level where your child can actually succeed, even if that means dropping back to Frog and Toad 3. The McGuffey Readers — the 190-year-old readers we use for oral reading, spelling, vocabulary, narration and comprehension questions in 10–15 minutes I also share how my "best reader in the class" son broke down in tears over a chapter book, and what I learned about meeting kids where they are. 📚 Vintage curriculum (free downloads + McGuffey Reader links): CLICK HERE ✏️ Free copy of With Pencil and Pen (1906): https://schooltohomeschool.com/with-pencil-and-pen SCHOOL TO HOMESCHOOL RESOURCES: Janae's Links for Vintage Books Sign Up for the School to Homeschool Newsletter School to Homeschool YouTube Channel CONNECT WITH US!

164. Have We Confused Schooling With Learning? with Dr. Pablo Riboldi
What happens when an instructional-science PhD decides grades and tests may be getting in the way of real learning? Dr. Pablo Riboldi joins me to explain why he built a homeschool program without traditional grades or tests, why he returned to classical texts like Euclid's Elements, and why students should become responsible for their own education. We talk about vintage textbooks, the flipped classroom, intellectual honesty, teaching children to think, and a radically different definition of what it means to be educated. And if you've ever worried that you're not qualified to homeschool your children, stay until the end. His message to parents is one you need to hear. https://loveoflearninginstitute.com/ Buy Euclid's Elements HERE: https://link.amazon/B04guqQKI SCHOOL TO HOMESCHOOL RESOURCES: Janae's Links for Vintage Books Sign Up for the School to Homeschool Newsletter School to Homeschool YouTube Channel CONNECT WITH US!

In this episode, I talk with pediatric occupational therapist and homeschool consultant Sarah Collins about the clues parents often see before they know what those clues mean. We discuss sensory processing, handwriting and reading struggles, movement, interoception, proprioception, outdoor and risky play, occupational therapy, and how to tell when a child may need more than a different curriculum.
