My son is homeschooled, with nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcqyq5xtf970q5rgcdtgrx9ql0gmxxam9ahg8gtp3xnmrwxm53z7fkf7rnat5m carrying the vast majority of that responsibility. He's old enough now for us to plainly see the results daily. It's remarkable. He's remarkable. We're early, and many challenges lay ahead. Of this, I am sure. But we also know, undoubtedly, that we're doing the right thing.

He will think freely. He will live freely.

You got the order correct, sir!

we’re starting next year with both of mine

did you build your own curriculum?

He's a bit over three, so it's currently very heavy on letting him pursue his interests, which are vast. We've built a wonderful library of books, and his voracious love of reading is one of my greatest points of pride. nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcqyq5xtf970q5rgcdtgrx9ql0gmxxam9ahg8gtp3xnmrwxm53z7fkf7rnat5m is multilingual, so she's also actively teaching French. We've recently introduced drawing, puzzle-based workbooks, and the like.

In short, there's a loose structure, reinforced daily, and he's surrounded by material and books. Samah can add more; she's the mastermind.

Check out "Story time chess" a book to teach 3 yr olds chess, or 40 yr old adults 😂. Also watch my man Ben to get a glimpse of how to play games with your child - or other 40 yr olds. https://youtu.be/7w5m6JtEt9I?si=QZQi5psEt9SaOKzq

Excellent. Thanks. 🙏🏻

Congratulations💜

My plan when I have kids

How old? Got any other kids or plans for more kids?

3, no, yes. 👌🏻

Godspeed to you🫡 I’m thinking of pulling mine next year. If not the year after

I won’t pretend to know the challenges you may face, but I am confident that it’s worth nearly any cost.

Yea that’s what my gut says too

Dude!!! Yes!!!

What made you choose homeschooling over something like an Acton Academy?

What would you and nostr:nprofile1qqszsedyheuzsdrp4dqvc5raarvcmhvhkaqapvxy60vdcmwjytexe8cs6pum5 recommend for someone wanting to emphasize freedom & first principles thinking for their children, but cannot personally carry the majority of the responsibility? My wife is rad, but she’s a bit intimidated by the idea of being the primary homeschooler.

I’m not familiar with Acton Academy. I’ll check it out.

I’ll let nostr:nprofile1qqszsedyheuzsdrp4dqvc5raarvcmhvhkaqapvxy60vdcmwjytexe8cs6pum5 add to this, but in short, no one will ever have a greater drive for our children to thrive than we will. And we know it’s a privilege to be able to make the choice, which itself if a result of broken money.
