What if you could transform your child's educational experience by stepping away from traditional schooling? Join us on The Homeschool How To as we sit down with Rachel Chioreanu, a former middle school teacher and school counselor, who made the leap to homeschooling her children. Rachel shares her candid observations on the inefficiencies of public schooling, especially for kids with learning differences, like her son who has dyslexia and dysgraphia. She emphasizes the value of tailoring a personalized homeschool curriculum that fits each child's unique needs, rather than replicating a conventional classroom environment at home.
Discover an array of homeschooling resources that can make the educational journey both enriching and enjoyable. Rachel and I discuss programs like Brave Writer, Mystery Science, and the Tuttle Twins book series, which not only focus on core academic subjects but also uphold family values. We dive into how setting academic and social goals with your children can encourage self-driven learning and adaptability. The potential of AI in curriculum personalization also makes an appearance, promising a new frontier in homeschooling.
The social dynamics of homeschooling are just as crucial as the academics. Rachel shares her experiences building a supportive homeschooling community through local co-ops and social activities. Tune in for a conversation that combines heartfelt stories, expert insights, and actionable tips to help you thrive on your homeschooling journey.
