Are you suddenly your kids’ teacher? Has the quarantine got you all, “what the what?” I want to help! I brought in educator and home schooling expert, Stephanie Ross. Stephanie homeschools three kids: 9, 6, and 4, with a baby thrown in for laughs she says. She’s a writer and contributes to Her View From Home (remember when I interviewed Leslie Means, the owner?)
Stephanie’s approach to homeschooling is encouraging. She passionately refers to it as “un schooling,” and I think we can all benefit from this approach, especially when we have zero experience schooling our kids, and during these uncertain times, no less. Now, I have to say that the internet connection where I was when I recorded this with Stephanie was total crap, and at one point I had to switch to my phone, so you’ll hear a little change in audio, but Stephanie was beautifully patient and sounds great. I think, no matter what your kids’ ages are, you will be encouraged by what she has to say.

Stephanie is my daughter. To hear her quote Heinlein encourages my soul. I introduced that concept to her from a very young age. It brings up the idea that parents are the primary educator in a child’s life, whether you intent to do so or not. Children learn constantly, so why not, as a parent, be cognizant of that reality. Have adventures, involve your children in all that you do, modify your life if you have to. Our children are our primary investment, for the good of society invest wisely and generously.
