Today I'm tackling some of the questions that have piled up in my inbox and DMs lately from listeners and subscribers. And since a bunch of those inquiries are related to the topic of homeschooling, I’ll answer those questions first, including…
- What, exactly, are your responsibilities as a homeschool mom
- How soon should you start formal lessons?
- How to schedule lessons for multiple students in a broad range of ages
- How to stay on top of chores while still doing lessons
- What kind of records and papers to keep and what can be safely thrown away
