Homeschool Rebels: Embracing Unconventional Learning

Homeschool rebel confession time. 🙋‍♀️ My homeschool kids don’t take tests…. ✅Math worksheets. Sure. ✅Verbal quizzes to “spell this word”. Yup. ✅Written papers with mom about books or history. Yes. But timed sit-here-and-do-it so homeschool mom can give you a number grade? Or bubble in this multiple-choice test? ⁉️Nope. And my homeschool kids are surviving. Dare I say… thriving? 👉Because when you take the time to have conversations, you know what they know. Remember you chose to keep them at home to be different. Don’t just “do school” because that’s what others expect. ❤️ 🔹Turn off the radio and listen to their day. 🔹Let them narrate back to you what they read. 🔹Invite them on a walk and quiz them verbally. 🔹Talk through geography or their next step for their paper or what they don’t understand in science. 😉No red pens needed. This nine year homeschooling mom says… 👉Don’t stress the grades. Please. 👉See the weak points and work together to fix them. All the rest can wait until high school… And only because the “real world” requires silly transcripts and tests. Life goal: (Finally) sign up for that state standardized test… Shhh. 🤫🤐😉 👉Homeschool rebels! Tell me hi. Solidarity. 🙋‍♀️ . . . . . .
