Podcasts about Homeschooling

What happens when a passionate public school teacher realizes the system she's devoted her life to is built on control, coercion, and outdated standards?In this powerful episode of The Homeschool How To Podcast, former K–12 teacher Angela Harders shares her eye-opening journey from traditional education to homeschooling and ultimately unschooling her own children. After over a decade in the classroom, Angela came to a painful conclusion: she was part of a system that often relied on fear, compliance, and force—not freedom or curiosity.Her story begins with a desk thrown across the room on her very first day of teaching—and ends with her daughter launching a popsicle business by age 7, all without ever using a formal curriculum.Angela opens up about:Her shift from teacher to unschooling parentWhy she believes children can learn 13 years of math in just 6 monthsHow her daughter learned to read without being taughtWhy the education system is designed for obedience, not understandingThe power of real-world learning and self-directionHow she now helps families legally unschool through PAX Academy and Peaceful World SchoolersWhether you're a curious parent, frustrated teacher, or seasoned homeschooler, Angela's story will challenge everything you think you know about education—and inspire you to rethink what learning really looks like.

In this episode of Hey Coach Radio, your host William Grazione is joined by his wife, Tanya Grazione. Tanya shares the emotional and transformational moment of holding her child, Maximus, during an un-medicated water birth. This experience propelled Tanya into her career as a doula, where she has been a guiding light for many women. She shares her insight on managing healthy living through perimenopause, drawing from her unique perspective as an entrepreneur, a wife, a mother of several children, and a homeschooler.  During the conversation, William provides his expert feedback on the hormonal challenges women face during this time, advocating for lifestyle modifications over unnecessary HRT, Peptide, and GLP-1 Protocols.

The two of us philosophize about the distinctions between education versus learning and why even the most prestigious schools are failing today's children.As moms on the homeschooling track, we reveal how we are reclaiming the lost art of lifelong learning and why we are not subscribing to the school system's broken idea of "education" i.e. memorization, regurgitation and rigid metrics. We relish in the endless opportunities to shape our children's worldview and share which values are most important for us to cultivate in our children as they transition into older toddlerhood and ultimately young childhood.Takeaways from our discussion:Nurturing a child's interests can cultivate a lifelong love of learning.Homeschooling doesn't have to be rigid; it can be play-based.Values instilled at home shape a child's worldview.Community plays a vital role in a child's developing group dynamics skills.Food choices impact a child's health and awareness.Creative play is essential for learning and development.Observation and awe are key in developing mindfulness.Breaking free from traditional education can empower children.Language development is fostered through real-world communication.Patience and presence are crucial in nurturing a child's growth.PS- Our MOTR merch has dropped!

En este episodio hablamos con Laura Mascaró, pionera del homeschooling en España, madre de dos hijos educados en casa y gran referente del movimiento para educar con más libertad. Juntas rompemos los grandes mitos sobre la educación sin escuela: ¿es legal educar en casa en España?, ¿cómo socializan los niños?, ¿qué pasa con el entorno que no entiende esta elección?, ¿qué alternativas reales existen al colegio? Una conversación que va más allá de la crianza: es una invitación a cuestionar el sistema que nos enseñó a desconectarnos de quiénes somos. Si sientes que la escuela tradicional no representa los valores con los que quieres criar a tus hijos, este episodio puede ser el primer paso hacia un camino más libre, consciente y conectado con la naturaleza humana. ✨ Instagram Arantxa: https://www.instagram.com/arantxa_canadas/ ✨ Recibe mis cartas privadas por email: https://www.arantxa-canadas.com/newsletter/ 00:00 – Introducción 00:43 – Quién es Laura Mascaró 03:40 – Por qué desescolarizó a su hijo 07:34 – Conciliar trabajo y crianza 11:03 – ¿Es legal educar en casa? 13:25 – Homeschooling adaptado a cada niño 16:45 – ¿Tengo que ser profesora? 19:15 – Reeducarnos como padres 21:54 – ¿Y la socialización? 26:28 – Críticas del entorno 28:46 – Su experiencia en redes y medios 32:44 – Lo que repetiría (y lo que no) 34:26 – Cómo protegerte legalmente 36:59 – ¿Es para todas las familias? 40:16 – Universidad, vocación y futuro 45:06 – Ser madre y profesional 47:34 – Su modelo de negocio actual 54:00 – Libros, YouTube y expansión 56:57 – Crisis, muerte y transformación 58:43 – Diversificar ingresos 1:03:49 – Parón de 2 años y renacer 1:07:58 – Mensaje final para madres valientes

My guest today is Emma Rodriguez, founder of Lighthouse Christian Academy, a microschool in Frisco, Texas that opened in January of this year. After graduating from Texas A&M University, Emma spent seven years teaching in one of the largest and fastest-growing school districts in the country. While she loved the classroom, she saw firsthand how traditional education often leaves students behind and families yearning for more meaningful connection. So she became an education entrepreneur. ***   Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

The Queensland government has accepted all eight recommendations from an independent review into the home education unit. The regulatory review, conducted last year, followed widespread opposition by Queensland's homeschooling community to the previous state government's attempts to enforce the Australian curriculum on homeschooling students.

“But what about socialization?”If you've ever mentioned homeschooling to someone, you've probably been hit with this question before — and maybe even found yourself wondering the same.In today's episode, we're unpacking the real story behind socialization:• Why the school system isn't the gold standard for social growth• How homeschoolers actually thrive socially in real-world environments• And what you can do to raise confident, emotionally intelligent kids — without sending them to schoolMama, you can homeschool without sacrificing your child's social development.

Ben White is joined by Katie Finlayson for a thoughtful conversation about home education. With 15 years of experience educating her own children—and supporting thousands of families across the UK—Katie shares what life as a home-educating parent really looks like, why more families are choosing this path, and what schools might learn from those doing things differently. She also discusses her own recent research, which gathered insights around why and when families chose to home educate.

Summer break . . . It's often not much of a break, right?Even if you find yourself with a little less on your plate, anxiety and second-guessing have a way of filling the gaps where we want rest and relaxation to fill.To find peace that lasts throughout the school year, we can't just “take a break.” We need to break free from the stories and fears that keep us mired in anxiety.When homeschooling moms ask me for advice, they rarely need advice. What they're really asking for is reassurance, a chance to take a breath and let go of anxiety or fear, so they can trust themselves and trust that the Holy Spirit will guide them.Today the RAR team selected some of our favorite pieces of wisdom on the theme of rest and reassurance from the RAR Premium private podcast, Circle with Sarah. Think of this episode as a little vacation for your homeschooling heart. In this episode, you'll hear: How acting like we know we're loved helps us let go of anxietyWhat we're actually responsible for when it comes to raising our kids How you know when you're doing enough in your homeschool Learn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/vacation-for-your-heart

Being a homeschool mom does not require a teaching credential, a masters in education, or an expertise in algebra.  Moms can homeschool without these things.  However, there is one thing you cannot homeschool without. It is a sense of humor.  In order to joyfully home educate, moms need to be able to laugh at themselves.  Moms need to laugh like Sarah did in Genesis 21:6.  "Sarah said, 'God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.' ”  Homeschooling moms need to laugh like the Proverbs woman in 31:25.  Moms can relate to Sarah in many different ways.  There are three principles homeschooling moms can learn from Sarah.  In this week's episode, Carrie shares encouragement from God's Word and how moms can apply these lessons to their lives, their parenting, and their homeschooling.  Get your Bible, put your feet up, pour yourself your favorite cup of coffee, and join Carrie for a special time in God's Word.  Support the showAttend the Bloom & Blossom: West Coast Conference in San Diego, October 10th & 11th.

Mother Miriam Live - July 23, 2025 In today's show: Further discussion on homeschooling your children. My ex-wife has re-married civilly and is sending our children to public schools. What is Mother's advice? I want to convert to Catholicism from Judaism. Is keeping the Shabbat and kosher food permissible?  Why would a person who goes to daily mass and doesn't commit a mortal sin also go to confession every two weeks, or even daily?  What is a good catechism book to teach at home? I never knew my wife was on birth control. How should I deal with this?

She and Zan talk about the beautiful messiness of homeschooling multiple ages, late-night talks with teens, and why veteran moms still have a vital role to play.

Is your Christian teen prepared for the intellectual assault waiting at university? Dr. Owen Anderson, Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Arizona State University, pulls back the curtain on what's really happening on college campuses. With 70% of Christian students walking away from their faith in university, Dr. Anderson—a rare conservative Christian voice inside the secular academic machine—reveals the specific challenges your children will face and how to prepare them for battle. You'll discover: ·       The philosophical foundations every Christian student needs before stepping foot on campus ·       How natural law and natural theology provide unshakeable answers to professors' attacks on faith ·       Why the Book of Job is actually the first philosophy textbook—and what it teaches about the problem of evil ·       The biggest misconceptions Christians have about the Book of Revelation (and why it's actually about victory, not defeat) ·       Practical strategies for documenting and reporting anti-Christian bias in the classroom ·       How to find mentors and build support systems that will help your student thrive, not just survive Universities aren't just liberal—they're actively working to destroy your child's faith. But Dr. Anderson proves it's possible to not only survive but thrive in hostile academic environments when you're properly prepared.   Resources: https://drowenanderson.substack.com/   https://drowenanderson.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: In a world filled with confusion, clarity begins with God's Word.

What's really going on in the story? This week we're exploring how to help kids move beyond surface-level reading by making inferences and predictions. These are the skills that let readers pick up on subtle clues, read between the lines, and anticipate what might happen next. We'll break down how to teach these strategies in fun, approachable ways that work across ages and book types, and how they strengthen both comprehension and critical thinking.

Twitter Space 5 July 2025This episode examines the manipulation of beliefs through propaganda, prompted by Joshua Vasquez's question on recognizing its influence. I discuss how propaganda relies on reward and punishment rather than reason and reflect on the struggles of young men, urging resilience and awareness in personal relationships.We address the societal impacts of propaganda, noting how it silences dissent and fosters anger towards challengers. I advocate for homeschooling to escape toxic educational systems and emphasize the importance of agency in personal choices.Engaging with callers, we explore integrity and the need to uphold non-aggression principles while confronting harmful ideologies. The conversation touches on the tension between conservatism and progressivism, highlighting the importance of clear boundaries and personal accountability. We conclude with a message of hope, emphasizing community and shared values as essential for social change.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
