What happens when you grow up homeschooled on a sailboat, then experience public school, only to return to homeschooling as a parent? Shellbe's remarkable journey offers a window into an educational path less traveled, filled with powerful insights for any parent questioning traditional education.Born to parents who rejected conventional schooling, Shellbe spent her early years cruising the Bahamas on a sailboat. Her "classroom" was the open water, where learning to navigate charts, catch fish, and take responsibility weren't electives—they were survival skills. Using the Calvert School curriculum, her education blended formal academics with real-world application in ways most children never experience. "I knew responsibility," Shellbe reflects, recounting how she sailed dinghies with her toddler sister at just eight years old, learned to recover from capsizing, and developed problem-solving skills that have served her throughout life.When Shellbe entered public school in seventh grade, the contrast was stark. The rigid bell schedule, curriculum gaps, and social dynamics created challenges that shaped her understanding of what education could and should be. Despite her strong foundation in reading and writing, she struggled when the system couldn't accommodate her learning style—an experience that would later inform her approach to teaching her own daughter.Now homeschooling as a single parent, Shellbe has crafted an education for her daughter that honors both structure and freedom. With formal lessons sometimes just twice weekly, learning happens organically through exploration, measurement, and discovery. When her five-year-old spends a morning examining caterpillars with a magnifying glass, creating habitats, and measuring specimens, Shellbe recognizes this as valuable education that transcends textbooks.Whether you're currently homeschooling, considering the leap, or simply curious about alternative educational paths, this conversation will challenge your assumptions about how learning happens and what truly matters in preparing children for a fulfilled life.Connect with Shellbe:Instagram and Facebook are @Vital.Roots.CoachingShellbe is offering a FREE masterclass on how to have an Empowered Pregnancy & Birth next Friday the 16th!!What is the most important thing we can teach our kids?HOW TO HANDLE AN EMERGENCY!This could mean life or death in some cases!Help a child you know navigate how to handle an emergency situation with ease:Let's Talk, Emergencies! -and don't forget The Activity Book!The Tuttle Twins - use code Cheryl15 for 15% the age 5-11 series!Support the showInstagram: TheHomeschoolHowToPodcast Facebook: The Homeschool How To Podcast

When 12 year-old George Fisher got first place at the North Island secondary schools mountain bike competition he was given a certificate but not the first place medal. That was passed to the next person instead, because George is homeschooled. It's standard practice according to School Sport New Zealand rules but a group of parents want to change that - saying it's not fair that they pay the entry fee and are considered fulltime students by the Ministry of Education. Mel Ewart, Chair of the Home School Sports Association spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

A group of home-schooled children recently relished an engaging visit to the Regional Media studios in Kewanee. Ranging from toddlers to teenagers and accompanied by adults, the group explored the fascinating world of radio broadcasting. Their journey began at the WKEI studio, where they witnessed the transformation of interviews into radio shows. Seth Parlier then introduced them to the Hog County studio, sharing the secrets of his Birthday Barn recordings. Meanwhile, Jaden entertained in the conference room, and families recorded the "Wake Up Tri-Counties" intro. The tour concluded with juice boxes and goldfish crackers, leaving everyone with unforgettable memories. You can hear their show greeting at the top of the 7:50 AM newscast, on 1450 AM and 102.1 FM, on Thursday and Friday, February 27th and 28th. 

It's Wednesday, February 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Indian mob attacked 50 Christians A mob of nearly 200 people attacked a group of 50 Christians as they gathered for worship last week in India. The mob entered the church and assaulted the Christians with iron rods, leaving three severely injured and many more with bruises all over their bodies.   The attack took place on February 16th in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide. The state is now the latest one in India to pass an anti-conversion law. Such laws are often used to target Christians. India is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most dangerous to be a Christian.  Illegal border crossings at a 15-year low In the United States, illegal immigration is down dramatically since President Donald Trump took office. U.S. Customs and Border Protection released the latest numbers last week. From January 21 through January 31, apprehensions at the southern border were down 85% compared to the same period last year. And on February 25th, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made this announcement. LEAVITT: “This administration's efforts to seal the border continue to prove extraordinarily successful. In President Trump's first month back in office alone, illegal border crossings hit lows not seen in decades, down 94% over the past year, while interior arrests are up 134%. And this past Saturday, this is a significant statistic, there were only 220 illegal border crossings on Saturday. This is a 15-year low. Think about that in comparison to the amount of illegal border crossings we saw under the previous administration.” Leavitt highlighted the ripple effect that securing the border is having. LEAVITT: “Fox recently reported that a San Diego migrant shelter is closing its doors after saying they have not received new asylum-seeking families or individuals since January 20. We all know what happened on January 20, don't we? “And yesterday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that the massive Roosevelt Hotel migrant shelter in Manhattan will shut down in the next few months. “We're also seeing a reverse migration effect. There are now verified reports from the Associated Press of migrants abandoning their journey to the United States and heading back home. This is the first time the Border Patrol has received these reports since 2020 during President Trump's first term. The returning migrants claimed in interviews that the new heavy security posture adopted by the Trump administration was a significant reason for their decision to return to the countries of their origin.” Leavitt documented the support of the American people for securing the border. LEAVITT: “81% of Americans support deporting illegal migrant criminals from our nation's interior. 76% of Americans support closing the border. This is from a Harvard Harris Poll, a very legitimate pollster.” Apple to invest $500 billion in U.S. over four years On Monday,  Apple announced  it will invest over $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years.  The tech giant plans to expand its facilities in America and create 20,000 jobs.  White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt elaborated. LEAVITT: “The investment isn't limited to one specific region of our country. Apple teams and facilities will expand all over our country: in Arizona, California, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Michigan, Oregon, Texas and Washington. “With President Trump in charge, America is open for business. Apple CEO Tim Cook said it best in the company's announcement: ‘We are bullish on the future of American innovation.'” The announcement comes after President Trump announced 10% tariffs on all imports from China. Apple imports many of its products from the country currently.  The new investment in the states includes a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas.  3.4% students now homeschooled Last week, Pew Research released a study on homeschooling in the U.S. During the 2022-23 school year, 3.4% of K-12 students were homeschooled, up from 2.8% during 2018-19 school year. Eighty-three percent of homeschooling parents said they opted for homeschooling over concern about school environments. Seventy-five percent said they want to provide moral instruction. Seventy-two percent desired to emphasize family life together. And 53% wanted to provide religious instruction.  Johnny Cash: From drug addict to Jesus follower And finally, today marks the birthday of Johnny Cash. The iconic American singer was born on February 26, 1932.  He rose to fame in the music scene in the 1950s before coming to Christ later in the 1970s. He became known as the “Man in Black” for his all-black stage suits.  In an interview on 60 Minutes, Cash revealed how much drugs and alcohol he would consume in the midst of his concerts before coming to Christ. CASH: “The amphetamines to get me up, the barbituates to bring me down. When I started drinking beer, along with the amphetamines, I'd drink about four or five a night, but I got up to 12-14,or a case a night. And I would take to the concert with me. I want to get just about that high off the ground before I'd go on stage. Sometimes, I'd misjudge how high I was, you know, and I'd get on stage and I was a wreck.” After his conversion, Cash would use his music to share the Gospel, often performing at Billy Graham Crusades.  CASH: “I thank God for bringing me out of it and putting me back up on my feet and bringing me back to do the thing I love to do most of all, sing a Gospel song for you.” (applause) Cash remains one the best-selling music artists of all time. He was inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.  One of his last recorded songs was called “I Came to Believe.” Listen to the chorus. CASH: “I came to believe in a Power much higher than I. I  came to believe that I needed help to get by. In childlike faith, I gave in and gave Him a try. And I came to believe in a Power much higher than I.” Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, February 26th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

What happens when the high-paced glamour of city life loses its shine? In this episode, I'm joined by my friend, Claire Denault, a second-generation homeschool mom and public speaker, who shares her transformative journey from the opulence of Dallas to the quiet, intentional living of a small North Carolina town.

Homeschooling: Not just for doomsday preppers anymore! Nick Pell joins Skeptical Sunday to unpack how kitchen tables became the new classroom battleground. On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: Homeschooling exploded from 2.5 million kids in 2019 to a whopping 6 million by 2021-2022, with most families sticking to it even after the pandemic dust settled. Forget the stereotype of homeschooling being a luxury for the wealthy — it's actually surprisingly affordable. While private schools can demand $25,000+ per year, homeschooling typically ranges from $500-$2,500 annually. Homeschooled students who pursue higher education tend to outperform their traditionally schooled peers in college, though they might stumble a bit in math (because calculus is still calculus, whether you learn it at home or in a classroom). Contrary to the classic "awkward homeschooler" trope, research shows mixed results on social development. Like a scientific experiment with conflicting data, some studies show better social skills, others show worse, and some land right in the middle. The key variable? Social involvement — it turns out that being social makes you, well, social. Want to explore homeschooling? Start by recognizing that it's never too late to begin, and you don't need special qualifications or a teacher's license in most states. Like any good adventure, success comes down to research, understanding your child's needs, and trusting your parental instincts. The best part? You can customize the education to fit your child's learning style, pace, and interests. Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Wow, I can't believe we've already reached the final episode of our three-part Holiday Special! This series has been such a joyful way to reflect on the year, celebrate a successful podcast season, and set the stage for the new year.Lately, I've been reflecting a lot on the concept of being neurodivergent and how differently our minds can work. Growing up homeschooled, I always felt like my brain operated uniquely, which shaped my identity in ways I didn't fully appreciate at the time. My mother's dedication to homeschooling, especially during a period when it was less accepted, profoundly impacted me. Our collective work is to reconnect with our Creator and reclaim the nourishment that only this relationship can provide. This realization has fueled my passion for teaching and sharing these concepts with others, to empower women to remember their inherent strength and divine connection.As I prepare to share these lessons in the coming year, my hope is to inspire others to reclaim their lives, align with their true selves, and create from a place of abundance rather than survival. 2025 is about returning to our essence—rediscovering who we are and who we're meant to be. I'm excited to walk this journey with you. Tune in today and ring in the new year in light and love. Cheers!  In this episode:[00:46] Welcome to the season finale of The Fully Nourished Podcast![02:47] The overuse of the term “neurodivergent” and my homeschooling experience while growing up. [05:05] I appreciate my mother so much, and we all need to reflect on our relationships with our mothers and how it translates to our self-mothering.[11:22] Homeschooling teaches children how to truly learn, and it gives our children hungry minds.[15:11] The type of homeschooling I will consider when I reach the journey of homeschooling my children.[24:16] Every single woman possesses her own co-creative power. We just have to capitalize it.[28:36] Thanks for joining me in the season finale of The Fully Nourished Podcast.

Walker grew up as a Homeschooled Kid, how did that shape his life? $ BTC 96,926 Block Height 872,651 Today's guest on the show is @WalkerAmerica, a fellow #Bitcoin Pleb and Podcaster who grew up being Homeschooled. Walker had the great idea of us riffing about his experience being a homeschooled kid and my experience with home or unschooling my kids. Why did his parents decide not to send him to the local school and how did that decision effect a young Walker? What happened when @WalkerAmerica decided to join an educational institution and what life-long lasting impression has it left on him? Why are you a Nazi if you don't like the idea of homeschooling and who founded and funded the American Education system from inception and why? We go down some deep rabbit holes on this rip and some comments will carry trigger warnings! A huge thank you to @WalkerAmerica for everything he is doing for #Bitcoin with his podcast and the movies he makes with his wife @carlabitcoin - you guys are amazing!
