Two of my children opt to do their studies in 2-3 hours of straight work, going from assignment to assignment, quiz to quiz, test to test, subject to subject.

The third gives himself regular breaks.

I have no point, just something I've noticed.

Does anyone out there in social.coop land (or my wider network) have experience/links/examples of #HomeEducation #cooperatives (particularly, but not essentially in a UK context)?

Context:

We have a lovely local group of #HomeEd families here, kids currently from 0-10yo, various approaches but quite a strong skew towards #UnSchooling/ #SelfDirectedLearning. Centred around a weekly session in a local community hall.

...

I’m feeling suddenly, oddly isolated. We live in a small Midwestern town and the only co-op here is very religious. Like you have to answer questions about what you believe in order to join. I was looking at how to go about setting up a particular lesson and was hit with “I JUST WISH I HAD SOMEBODY TO TALK TO!” So where are my cool, leftist, secular homeschoolers? #HomeSchool #HomeEducation

"A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher." Luke 6:40 ESV

There is a WAR for your children's hearts and souls. Parents, it is YOUR responsibility to protect them! It's no longer enough to turn a blind eye. It's time to bring them home!

We're here to help.

Possibly the most important interview we've ever done. Alex Newman joins Yvette Hampton to expose the indoctrination, sexualization, and dumbing down of America’s children by government schools.

@lukemartell @lukemartell Could you clarify/evidence this statement?

"The importance of public education for safeguarding and equality became more obvious under COVID when children spent long spells at home"

... because while the current government is keen to equate #HomeEducation with 'safeguarding risk', I don't think they've managed to produce any evidence to that effect.

For #UK based #HomeEducation families, I can offer you free month of doodlemaths with my referral link https://parents.doodlelearning.com/get-started?via=jax (don't think it will actually get me free month as I'm on a group subscription but there you go)

Did you know that birds have a unidirectional breathing flow? Because I didn't and it's super neat. They have air sacs behind and in front of their lungs (upstream and downstream, respectively). On an inhale, air is pulled from outside of the bird and into the back air sacs, and out of the lungs and into the front air sacs; on an exhale, the air goes from the back air sacs into the lungs, and out of the front air sacs to outside of the bird. So it's actually on the exhalation that air enters their lungs. This set up allows them to be more efficient at getting oxygen from the air than the mammalian system is.

In the week running up to #Easter the children at forest school have made prints using Hapa Zome, bashing flowers with a mallet between two pieces of fabric, they have build wonderful dens, planted new ferns and made little protective fences around them and created a fairy house from natural materials. #OutdoorEdChat #ForestSchool #HomeEducation #SelfDirectedPlay

I've been homeschooling my 12 years old for the past 4 years.
It's a non stop adventure.

There is an amazing online resource called SEA Homeschoolers which is secular, eclectic, academic resource for homeschool families. A lot of excellent free resources for anyone who may want to educate their kid/kids at home.

Homeschooling can be very affordable with many great online resources, local libraries, etc. that are free and a supportive online community.

The freedoms of #HomeEducation

This afternoon finally have opticians appt offspring has been requesting, and then this evening I have a scheduled zoom call about ebooks. Coming to the conclusion that I'm going to have to build my own income. Not sure how big the market for self published books on home education is, but worth a go? #HomeEducation

A very enjoyable recent commission for LivePlayLearn who blog about Home Ed

I’m #strewing 90s style for my #pda kid with fridge #poetry. Is this still even a thing? #homeeducation

I spoke to Chris Papst with #Baltimore #Fox45News about #homeschool statistics in #Maryland. Yes, the total number of kids receiving #HomeEducation is at an all-time high of almost 45,000 in the state - but the story is not that simple. Some MD counties saw a 2nd year of enrollment leaps, but other counties saw drops with kids going back to brick and mortar schools. Story airs tonight. #EdPolicy #SchoolChoice #edutooter
