hi there! another educationally neglected homeschooler here. (this is the first time i heard that term actually, it's really good to know)

i'm one of the lucky ones who have enough of an internal drive to learn that "just hit up the library" works for me, but this would have been SO GOOD TO HAVE when i had more drive to learn what everyone else did in school.

have fun, enjoy the process, you're going to mess up, and all that jazz, but don't forget that learning how to teach & learn SIMULTANEOUSLY is incredibly difficult and every step you take is a massive accomplishment, even if you fail & have to try again.

"quemlibet gradum quem ceperis, progredi vel ascende." with every step you take, move forward or ascend.

you've got this - even if it takes a while - so keep going when you can ♥️

DEAR EDUCATIONALLY NEGLECTED HOMESCHOOLERS

I’ve gathered some resources and tips and tricks on self-educating after educational neglect. This is only what I did and what I know helped me. I’m about to graduate college with honors after having no education past the age of 9. I wouldn’t be here without the following. Everything is free, and at/well above the standard for education in the US.

The holy grail: Khan Academy. Nearly every course you could take is available here, in order and by grade level. Their open-source free courses rival some of the college classes I’ve taken. This is your most solid resource.

For inattentive types: Crash Course offers a variety of courses that are snappy, entertaining, and extremely rewarding. They work for my ADHD brain. They also have college prep advice, which is essential if you’re looking to go to higher education with no classroom experience.

To catch up on your reading: There are certain books that you may have read had you gone to school that you’ve missed out on. This list is the most well-rounded and can fill you in on both children’s books and classic novels that are essential or at least extremely helpful to be familiar with. You can find a majority of these easily at a local library (and some for free in PDF form online low key). There are a few higher level classics in here that I’d highly recommend. If it doesn’t work for you, I’d always recommend asking your local librarian.

*BE AWARE* The book list I recommend suggests you read Harry Potter books, and given their transphobic author you may or may not want to read them. If you choose to, I’d highly recommend buying the books secondhand or borrowing from a library to avoid financially supporting a living author with dangerous and damaging views.

TEST, TEST, TEST: Again, Khan Academy is your go-to for this. I don’t personally like standardized testing, but going through SAT and ACT courses was the best way I found to really reveal my gaps so that I could supplement.

Finally: As much as you can, enjoy the process. Education can be thrilling and teach you so much about yourself, and help shape your view of the world. It can get frustrating, but I’d like to encourage you that everyone can learn. No pace is the perfect pace, and your learning style is the right learning style for you. In teaching yourself, be patient, be kind, and indulge in the subjects you really enjoy without neglecting others. You are your teacher. Give yourself what others chose not to.

“It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wreck and ruin without fail. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty. To the contrary, I believe it would be possible to rob even a healthy beast of prey of its voraciousness, if it were possible, with the aid of a whip, to force the beast to devour continuously, even when not hungry, especially if the food, handed out under such coercion, were to be selected accordingly.”

Why Homeschool Kids Are Smarter Than Kids Who Go to Public School

A Canadian study has shown that kids who are homeschooled are, on the whole, smarter than kids who attend public school. These findings are not surprising, but they do support the decision one will make to homeschool their kids. Learn why you should make the jump to teaching your kids at home.

Why My Kid is Smarter

The Canadian Study

Homeschooling is Not about Competition

Not All Kids Progress at the Same Rate

I don’t mean to brag, but I received compliments on my kids all the time for two things: their intelligence and their good character. Many parents around the time their kids turned into teenagers were biting their nails hoping for the best. I didn’t worry. I knew my kids were comfortable enough in their own skin to hold their own out in the world. I attribute both of these compliments to a simple fact: I had chosen to homeschool them.

Before getting into a discussion of the Canadian study that supports what homeschool parents already know, I’d like to offer a few reasons why I believe that homeschooled kids perform better on tests and why they tend to be more intellectually inclined.

First, homeschooled kids don’t learn to hate learning. In the public school environment, with the system of punishments and rewards, the fun intrinsic to learning new things about the world around us is diminished. Instead, public school needs to demonstrate an adherence to a certain body of knowledge. If your kid finds that he or she is excited by the study of the solar system, there’s no room for that in the classroom once the class has moved on. Sure, the student can pursue the study in his or her *free time,* but when the student is homeschooled, the student could get as in-depth about this study as he or she likes.

With one-on-one instruction, students excel. There’s a reason parents hire tutors for struggling students - the one-to-one ration works when it comes to learning. When there is only one (or a handful) of students, there is more attention focused on knowing whether a student understands material or not. If the student doesn’t understand something, the parent-teacher can then stick on that topic until mastery is obtained. In the classroom, this is not possible. Teachers need to cover a set curriculum over the course of the year. The converse is true as well, if a student demonstrates mastery quickly, there is no need to have him or her study that topic longer.

I was an eclectic style homeschooler combining the best of both worlds from traditional and unschooling philosophies.  And at the same time, by putting the responsibility for learning in their hands, they had learned to set their own goals and to manage their time. These are key skills homeschoolers are likely to have.

Homeschoolers don’t learn to fear tests. They learn how to learn about anything. Even if my sons didn’t know what something was, they knew how to find references that would support their learning about that subject. These are key skills for lifelong learning.

The Canadian Study, originally reported in The Canadian Journal of Behavioral Health, followed 74 students - 37 were homeschooled and 37 attended public school. The findings showed that while public school kids would test at grade levels, homeschooled children were far above grade level. Generally, the homeschooled children would perform at least half a grade ahead when it came to math and two grades ahead when it came to reading. This may sound great - why wouldn’t it - but there are some things to keep in mind.

When you’re homeschooling your child, please try to avoid comparing him or her to other kids! Even if you’re teaching a fourth grader reading at a 10th grade level, but his or her friend is reading on an 11th grade level, do not look at homeschooling as a competition. If you start treating learning like a game to be won, for most children, this will take the love of learning out of the activity. When it becomes about besting the members of your homeschooling group, you’re losing focus on the real goal: Making sure that the student has the tools he or she needs to be a successful adult.

Really, that’s what all schooling is about - it’s not about who crosses the finish line first. It’s not about who is smarter - your kid or the kid living down the street going to public school each morning. It’s about making sure that our children have the tools they need in order to get along in the world. It’s good to set goals. It’s unhealthy to use your child as a pawn to boost your self-esteem.

Don’t freak out if your child is “behind” where you think he or she should be. One of the reasons that you’re choosing this method of education is that it allows for greater flexibility. This means that you can cater studies to your child. If he or she struggles in spelling, but excels in math, then you can adapt to that! That’s the beauty of it. You also have a better understanding of his or her strengths and weaknesses (everyone has them). Don’t push your kid just because you want to be ahead. Make sure that at every step of the way, you’re focused upon helping your child receive the education he or she needs.
