Success doesn't belong to the ones who merely meet the standard; it belongs to those who choose to give just 1% more than what is required. While the first mile of any task is nothing more than duty and obligation, it is in the second mile—the extra effort driven by love and clear purpose—that your work transforms into a generous blessing that sets you apart. #FULLTANKwithBroBo​ #FULLTANKwithBroBo2026​ #BoSanchez​ #TheSecondMile​ #Matthew5​ #GiveOnePercentMore​ #Excellence​ #FaithInAction​ #SpiritualMaturity​ #TrulyRichMindset​ #PurposeDriven​ #Grace​--- PS.

In this episode of the Future Learners podcast, Brett Campbell (CEO and co-founder of Euka) and Ellen Brown (Founder and Head of Education) tackle the single most googled question they see from Australian parents every May, June and July. Can you start homeschooling in the middle of the school year? The short answer is yes, and often, the middle of the year is the smartest time to switch. Brett and Ellen walk through the seven things every parent needs to know before making a mid-year move. They cover registration timelines, what to do if your child is being bullied right now, families who are pulling kids out to travel Australia or overseas for the rest of the year, students refusing to walk through the school gate, and whether your Year 11 or Year 12 student can still finish strong with a university pathway intact. If you have been telling yourself you will “wait until next year”, this is the conversation that will help you decide whether next term, or next week, is the better answer. Key Points What the data tells us Mid-year enrolments are not the exception, they are the norm. Families join Euka every single day of the year, not only in January. 1 in 3 students now come to Euka because of bullying, up from 1 in 5 five years ago (Euka enrolment data 2021 to 2026, shared on the Today Show by Ellen Brown in April 2026). The eSafety Commissioner has reported a 37 per cent increase in actionable cyberbullying complaints from young people in the past year. Around 30 per cent of families who come to Euka mid-year do so intending to use homeschooling as a bridge, not a forever choice. Why mid-year is often a smart time to switch State education department home education units are far less swamped in May, June and July than they are in January and February. Approvals tend to come back faster outside the start-of-year peak. Your child can start at any week or term in the curriculum, in parallel with their school timeline, or by going back to the lesson where they last felt confident. Euka’s flexible learning model means you do not need to wait for a “fresh start” date that is months away to give your child a calmer week. When this episode matters for your family Your child is being bullied, and the school’s response so far has not changed it. Your child is refusing or resisting going to school, and mornings have become a battle. You are travelling for the rest of the year, around Australia or overseas, and the school calendar no longer fits. A life situation has shifted, and the 9 to 3 calendar is no longer workable. The Year 11 or 12 timetable is breaking your student, and you have been told “they cannot leave now”. You have been thinking about homeschooling for a while, and you are tired of waiting for January. The Single Most Asked Question We Hear Every May, June and July Every year, the same question lands in the Euka inbox in waves. Some version of “is it too late to start now?”, or “can I switch in the middle of the year?”, or “do I have to wait until Term 1 next year?”. The answer has not changed, and it is short. No, it is not too late. Yes, you can switch right now. You do not have to wait. What has changed is the number of families asking, and the range of reasons. Bullying is the biggest single trigger, but the same conversation comes from families heading off to travel for the rest of the year, parents whose child has stopped getting in the car for school, and senior students whose Year 11 or 12 timetable has stopped working. “You do not have to wait for January. Often, the next term is too late. The decision to remove a child from a situation that is hurting them is not a decision that should sit on a shelf.”— Ellen Brown, Founder and Head of Education, Euka 7 Things to Know Before You Switch Mid-Year This is the spine of the episode, structured as a journey from the first moment of doubt, to the decision, to the first day at home. 1. You can start any day of the year There is no enrolment cliff at the end of January. The Euka program is built so that a student can begin at any lesson, in any week, in any term. If your child is in the middle of Term 2 at school, they can pick up at the equivalent point in the Euka curriculum, or go back to where they last felt on top of the work and rebuild from there. 2. Mid-year is actually a faster registration window State home education units process the bulk of their applications between November and February. By the middle of the year, the queue is shorter and the wait times are better. If you are looking at homeschooling in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria or any other state, mid-year is the calmer side of their admin calendar. 3. You do not need the school principal’s permission This is the line Ellen comes back to most often. Parents have the legal authority to remove their child from a school and educate them at home. You notify the principal, you do not ask permission. If your child’s safety is at immediate risk, you can remove them straight away while the formal registration is being processed. A medical or psychologist certificate can support that step. 4. Your child will not fall behind, and the “gap” often helps Euka delivers the same state-based curriculum as your child’s school, mapped to the Australian Curriculum and the relevant state syllabus. Lessons are designed to be picked up at any point. There is a thing Ellen calls “the gap” that matters here. When a child is in a stressful situation at school, the stress snowballs and the schoolwork in front of them stops going in. They are already falling behind, even while they are sitting in the classroom. Taking them out of that environment, even briefly, gives them the space to reset and regain composure. You are a product of your environment, and changing the environment changes the outcome. Many families find their child actually moves ahead once the day is built around how they learn best. 5. Year 11 and 12 students can switch too This is the one parents are most afraid of, and it is the one that almost always surprises them. In a traditional school, jumping out of Year 11 or 12 mid-year feels final. With Euka, it is not. The senior pathway recognises prior work, the assessment model uses upload-feedback-resubmit so students keep building their academic record, and Euka’s University Pathways include a partnership with Navitas that opens entry into more than 90 university colleges in Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA, without an ATAR. “I was that parent that was worried, like, what about after? But my eldest has received a conditional offer to law, and she is knocking it out of the park.”— Barbara Bryan, Euka parent, Episode 43 6. If safety is at risk, you can act immediately The bullying numbers are why this point matters. One in three students now come to Euka because of bullying, and actionable cyberbullying complaints to the eSafety Commissioner have risen 37 per cent in the past year. When the situation has become unsafe, the decision to remove your child is a today decision. The registration can happen in the background while your child gets the space to recover. 7. You will not be the teacher The fear that holds the most parents back is the fear that they will have to become a maths teacher, a science teacher, an English teacher, all at once. They will not. The lessons are written and delivered by qualified teachers through the Euka platform; the parent’s role is to facilitate, not to instruct. You sit alongside your child, not in front of a whiteboard. Answered Questions Real questions Australian parents ask, answered through the practical experience of running Euka and supporting families through mid-year switches. Can I start homeschooling in the middle of the school year? + Yes. The Euka program is built to be started at any point in any term, and families enrol every day of the calendar year. There is no waiting until January, and no “missed window”. “You do not have to wait for January. You can just jump on into homeschooling, and it is going to adjust around you and adjust around your child.”— Ellen Brown The state-based registration runs faster mid-year because the home education units are not as swamped as they are at the start-of-year peak. If safety is the reason you are moving now, your child can begin at home while the formal paperwork is being processed. How do I register for homeschooling in New South Wales, Queensland or Victoria? + Every state runs its own home education registration process, and the requirements vary. Euka’s Registration Service was built to remove the guesswork. You fill out a short questionnaire, Euka prepares the documentation including the individualised curriculum learning plan, and you submit it to your state’s home education unit. “We had families spending weeks navigating department websites and trying to write their own education plan from scratch. We built the Registration Service so a parent could go from ‘I want to do this’ to ‘my application is in’ in days, not weeks.”— Brett Campbell, CEO Euka Future Learning The state-specific pages walk through what your state expects: homeschooling in NSW, homeschooling in Queensland, homeschooling in Victoria, and the full set sits on the Why Homeschool hub. Is it too late to start homeschooling in Year 11 or Year 12? + No. Year 11 and Year 12 are the years parents assume they cannot move out of, and it is the assumption that holds the most families back unnecessarily. Senior students who switch to Euka keep their prior academic work, continue building their transcript through the assessment program, and have access to Euka’s University Pathways. “The pathway concern is the one that worries every parent. It is also the one that has the clearest answer. There are now more than 90 university colleges in Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA that accept our graduates through the Navitas partnership, without an ATAR.”— Brett Campbell For students who are not sure whether they want university, Ellen’s standard advice is to do the assessed pathway anyway, so the academic transcript exists if the decision changes later. What if my child is being bullied at school, do I need permission to leave? + No, you do not need the principal’s permission. Parents have the authority to withdraw their child and educate them at home; you notify the school, you do not ask. If the situation is unsafe, you can act immediately and complete the formal registration in parallel. The reality of bullying in Australian schools has shifted: one in three students who join Euka cite bullying as the reason, and the eSafety Commissioner reports a 37 per cent rise in actionable cyberbullying complaints in the past year. “If you do not see any signs of the school or the education department working to fix the problem, get out. I regret every day of those six months.”— Barbara Bryan, Euka parent, Episode 43 Can homeschoolers still get into university without an ATAR? + Yes, and the pathway is well established. Euka’s senior students build an academic transcript through an upload-feedback-resubmit assessment model. That transcript, combined with a university entry or foundation course, gives them access to more than 90 university colleges through the Navitas partnership, including in the UK, Canada and the USA. For students aiming at competitive degrees like law or medicine, this is a real, established route. For students who are unsure, doing the assessed pathway keeps the door open. How long does it take to switch from school to homeschooling with Euka? + Faster than most parents expect. The first practical day at home can be the day you decide; the formal registration runs in the background. Euka’s Registration Service typically prepares the documentation in days, and mid-year submissions tend to be processed faster than start-of-year ones because the state units are not as overloaded. The biggest delay is rarely the paperwork. It is the decision itself. Why This Episode Matters Mid-year is not a compromise, it is often the better window. If the school year started badly, or if something has changed for your family in the last few months, you do not have to ride it out until January. The state systems are calmer, the curriculum picks you up where you are, and the gap between deciding and starting can be days. Year 11 and 12 are not closed doors. The line that “they have to stay in school to finish” is the most common misconception we hear. Senior students switch to Euka mid-year, keep building their transcript, and walk into university through Euka’s University Pathways without needing an ATAR. Safety is a today decision. With bullying behind one in three Euka enrolments, and cyberbullying complaints up sharply, the choice to act is rarely about “if”. It is about how fast. Your Family, Your Journey If you have been wondering whether you have left it too late, you have not. Mid-year families start with Euka every week of the term, and most look back wishing they had started sooner.

How do we faithfully raise children in a culture that constantly fragments their attention? In this episode of Base Camp Live, Davies Owens welcomes Suzanne Phillips of Beacon Parent for a thoughtful and deeply encouraging conversation about parenting in an age of distraction, anxiety, and cultural confusion. Rather than offering another parenting checklist, Suzanne shares a biblical framework for becoming the kind of parent your children can follow. Together, they explore what Suzanne calls the seven facets of a “Beacon Parent,” including the supremacy of Christ, expressed honor, intentional legacy, transformative wisdom, humble courage, secure identity, and personal responsibility. Along the way, they discuss: • Why everything starts at home • The difference between knowledge and wisdom • How technology is reshaping childhood • Why honor is disappearing from families • The dangers of fear-based parenting • Why children need gradual responsibility • How parents can lead with clarity instead of anxiety This conversation is both practical and hopeful for parents seeking to raise grounded, thoughtful, Christ-centered children in a rapidly changing world.

Top Ten from 2025: #9 Raising Healthy Kids: Free Tips with Emily Johnson (Episode 275)   1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."   *Transcription of original episode* Raising Healthy Kids: Free Tips with Emily Johnson (Episode 275)   Hi, I'm Emily Johnson. I am a homeschool mama of two beautiful kiddos, married to my high school sweetheart, and the owner of Gracious Healing, a online nutritional practice that works with families to get to the root of their health issues with a holistic view and approach. I deeply love Jesus and pursue Him in all that I do, including health.  After walking through decades of undiagnosed health issues, I was lead to the world of functional medicine and eventually into the holistic health world. After finding support for my body and that of my kids (who have been on their own health journeys) I was able to pursue further education and began working with clients on a 1:1 basis, to help them find the hope and health that I have found.   Emily's Website   Questions and Topics We Cover: Let's go over various areas and see what quick tips and starting ideas you have for each, beginning with water and hydration: Will you lay the groundwork here? How does sunlight and outdoor time impact our children's health How is nature a natural filtration system for air?   Thank You to Our Sponsor: Slumber Sleepwear   Other Episode Mentioned from The Savvy Sauce: 259 God Speaks to His Kids . . .

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Most of us were taught spelling through weekly word lists and memorization. Structured Word Inquiry takes a completely different approach by teaching students to investigate how words are built from meaningful parts. In this episode, we explore what Structured Word Inquiry is, how it differs from traditional spelling instruction, and whether it might fit into your homeschool. If you have ever wondered why English spelling works the way it does, this conversation may change how you think about words.

I joined Victoria Taft on Adult in the Room to talk through the insanity of the modern news cycle, from CIA document chaos and biological threats to Epstein-themed games showing up where kids can access them, because apparently our culture looked at “protect the children” and decided that was more of a loose suggestion.We also get into why kids do not need internet-connected devices shoved into their hands by schools, how public education trains compliance more than courage, and why California's print-at-home ballot system deserves a lot more scrutiny than it's getting. In other words, a perfectly normal conversation for a civilization pretending everything is fine.Follow Jeff Dornik on Pickax - https://pickax.com/jeffdornikBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

In this episode of Murder in the Black, we examine the heartbreaking case of the Hart family murders—a tragedy that exposed serious failures within the child welfare system and challenged the carefully curated image of a family celebrated by many.What appeared to be a picture-perfect family on social media concealed years of abuse, neglect, and unanswered cries for help. Through court records, witness accounts, and investigative findings, we explore how warning signs were repeatedly overlooked and why the voices of six children were not heard until it was too late.This episode is not simply about how the Hart family died—it is about how six children lived, what they endured, and the futures they were denied.The events leading up to the deaths of Jennifer and Sarah Hart and their six adopted childrenRepeated reports of abuse and neglect that failed to result in meaningful interventionThe role social media played in shaping public perception of the familyDevonte Hart's viral image and the complex reality behind the photographThe importance of recognizing and responding to children's disclosuresThe dangers of "savior" narratives and performative activismRace, adoption, and the challenges of transracial family dynamicsSystemic failures within child welfare and protective servicesThe final investigation and evidence supporting an intentional murder-suicideThe lives, personalities, and futures of the children at the center of this caseTime Stamps : 00:00 – Introduction to the Hart family case00:25 – A hungry child seeks help from neighbors00:55 – The family's disappearance and the discovery at the California cliffside01:50 – Public perception versus reality02:29 – Devonte Hart and the image that captivated the nation03:26 – The carefully constructed narrative surrounding the family04:07 – Social media, activism, and image management05:09 – How trauma was used to explain away concerns06:28 – Priscilla Celestine's efforts to keep her family together07:19 – Family separation and contradictions within the system08:16 – Investigations, reports, and missed opportunities09:12 – Adoption history and the creation of a public success story10:33 – When trauma became a shield against accountability11:58 – The 2010 abuse allegations and legal outcomes13:39 – Continued warning signs and institutional failures15:09 – Homeschooling, isolation, and limited oversight16:21 – Narrative control and public image management17:50 – A troubling family visit in Oregon20:18 – Hannah Hart's attempt to seek help22:06 – Devonte's repeated requests for food23:39 – Escalating concerns and failures to intervene26:33 – The crash investigation and evidence of intentional family annihilation28:30 – The final days: sedatives, control, and isolation30:48 – Recovery efforts and the search for Devonte32:00 – Examining years of systemic oversight failures34:45 – The dangers of rescue narratives and public perception37:09 – The futures each child deserved38:09 – The emotional impact of the case39:36 – Looking beyond appearances and curated images40:34 – Final reflections: How many warnings are too many?Topics CoveredChild Welfare and Protective Services ResourcesInformation on Trauma and Child Abuse RecognitionResearch on Transracial Adoption and Child AdvocacyHistorical Context Behind Devonte Hart's Viral PhotographFollow the show for updates, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes discussions:Instagram: @murderintheblackpodcastSubscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and your favorite podcast platform.In Memory of Hannah, Markis, Abigail, Jeremiah, Sierra, and Devonte Hart.Their story reminds us that a carefully crafted image can hide painful realities.

Nicki is the author of Anyone Can Homeschool and Home Sweet Homeschool, and runs Knowledge Keeper's Bookstore where she reprints rare out-of-print American history books to get the real story back into people's hands.In this episode they break down three books every parent needs to read:The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor GattoCrimes of the Educators by Alex Newman and Sam BlumenfeldThe Marxification of Education by James LindsayYou'll learn how the American education system was deliberately redesigned in the early 1900s by the Rockefellers, Carnegie, and the Education Trust to produce workers instead of thinkers — and how that agenda is still playing out in classrooms today through critical pedagogy, SEL, Common Core, and lowered test standards.Nicki also shares how she homeschooled as a single mom, why she believes homeschooling is the capitalist form of education, and how homeschool parents are learning the real version of American history right alongside their kids.If you've ever wondered whether pulling your kids out of school was the right call — this episode will remove any doubt.Connect with Nicki -- ⁠YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nickitruesdell1 Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nicki-truesdell-podcast/id1798330030Homeschool 101⁠ https://nickitruesdell.com/homeschool-101/ ⁠Homeschool Consultations⁠ https://nickitruesdell.com/homeschool-consulting/ ⁠  Get her books:⁠Anyone Can Homeschool⁠ on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible! https://amzn.to/4fnSWs8Home Sweet Homeschool on Amazon and Kindle https://amzn.to/4qY4zMbKnowledge Keepers Bookstore: https://knowledgekeepersbookstore.com/ FARM FOOD FREEDOM Event: https://maxkane.com/eventsResources from Cheryl:

We discuss progressive ideology in education, gender politics, homeschooling, Islamic extremism, the Batley Grammar School scandal, and why so many parents are losing faith in Britain's schools.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 05:29 Why Teaching Attracts Progressive Ideology11:07 Race, Gender & Woke Ideas In Schools14:38 The Crisis Facing Boys In Education19:25 Gang Violence & The Reality Of London Schools24:41 The “Two Different Londons”27:20 Woke Education Seminars & Low Expectations30:48 Falling Standards & Britain's Education Crisis33:47 Why British History Isn't Being Taught39:55 Teachers Unions, Politics & Activism42:35 Batley Grammar School & Fear In Education48:12 Weak Elites & Britain's Cultural Decline55:41 Homeschooling, Private Schools & Inequality1:00:41 Francis Foster's New Book

I share the biggest lessons from year two: Year one felt like survival, year two finally felt like life Every path has challenges, choose the hard that works best for your family Connection before curriculum, children learn best when they feel seen Homeschooling is growing everyone, not just the kids Many frustrations came from my own expectations trying to recreate traditional school at home I also walk through our current daily rhythm, curriculum favorites, and how I address common fears about kids falling behind, socialization, and working while homeschooling.
