Homeschool Mom Universal Translator (HMUT)

Sage Advice

Hi there, Mr. HomeScholar here... It has come to my attention that homeschool dads will sometimes struggle understanding their wives. Lee asked me to help explain the homeschool mom perspective to the dads out there. As a public service, I wanted to share my Homeschool Mom Universal Translator with your husband. Could you please pass this on to him? Consider it my gift to you. You might want to print this out and keep it in...

Update: Children Grow Up and Leave Home

Children grow up. They leave home. They stop leaving messes.The other day my kids came over. I needed an excuse to make cookies, but I also made them dinner and we all watched a movie together. It...

She is now going into 7th grade and we want to home school her. She is so sick and tired of filling in work sheets, and...

Homeschool Moms & Dads: Reinvest in YOU! Join Me at the WHO Convention June 17-18, 2011

Independent HS

It's time for another homeschool convention! The smell of curricula still brings back memories of homeschooling our two sons. The part of homeschool conventions that I enjoy most is seeing the faces of moms and dads as they reinvest in themselves. We need to remember that just as we invest in our children through their education so should we invest in our own knowledge as we homeschool the high school years. You'll find yourself refreshed and...

Nervous about Homeschooling High School?

Younger Students Homeschool Boys inspiration graduation

Read Shannon's story - I know it will encourage you! Hi Lee, I'm responding to your request for high school graduate postings.When I began homeschooling Aaron in kindergarten, I wasn't sure I could teach the basics, let alone all the way through high school.I was nervous about teaching in general....

Gifted Education and 100% Homeschooled

Homeschool Boys Gifted Education

I was speaking to a mother with struggling learners. She mentioned how I wouldn't understand because my children are gifted. I disagree. It was HARD to have gifted children. Sleepless nights. Some tears. A huge struggle trying to find appropriate curriculum. I had to find something that would be challenging but not overwhelming, but at the same time it had to be age-appropriate. It was a huge struggle. Most of my products are geared toward junior...
