How to Teach at Home |
by Leslie Fobbs
I wish I knew then what I know now. What am I talking about? I’m talking about the natural way kids learn to read, and enjoy it, versus the way it is forced on them today. I am grateful for where my son is now in his reading ability, but I cringe when I think about how it has been a struggle for him and how I didn’t make it any easier. In this post, I share our reading story.

What I enjoy most about featuring celebrity homeschoolers is that I learn so many neat little facts that I never knew about the person, which makes me appreciate their story even more. Today’s feature, Serena Williams, is no exception. Usually, I feature homeschooled siblings together, but Venus and Serena have such powerful stories in their own right, that they deserve a separate space.

This morning I got a burst of warm, fuzzy encouragement from reading a post by a fellow homeschooling mom in my state homeschooling group. Sydney Miller stated that homeschooling is a lifestyle choice and went on to explain why it was about more than just the educational benefits for her family. Then a host of other moms sound off as well. I thought I’d share her message and list the common themes that came out of the discussion. This post can be a source of encouragement for you as well. Or if you have disapproving family members who still don’t get it, send them here!

Last week we talked about the challenges and advantages of homeschooling for only-child families. Homeschooling any amount of children is never easy, but for parents of single children it can be intimidating to realize you are all they have during 'school time.' That does not have to be the case though. You don't have to become hermit crabs and spend all day at home alone. ![]() by Leslie Fobbs Here on The Hackschool Blog, we’ll be highlighting successful homeschoolers weekly. The homeschoolers featured will be famous athletes, artists, performers, politicians and even some regular, everyday folks like Noah Kutz. This week’s feature is NBA star Blake Griffin and older brother Taylor Griffin. |
