James Carpenter is under-appreciated by the MTA with all its video screens wrapping the interior, yet youโ€™ve captured his work wonderfully in this photograph. A great eye and a fitting tribute. nostr:note1m7hxsnk7qmlhsgmth9rxdatxfhselrjfhq389nfagmaqwjwa76wsptwd4y

13 years in a system that prioritizes conformity over creativity and test scores over life skills leads to students graduating without the critical thinking or curiosity needed to succeed in life.

But thereโ€™s a better way: ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.

Here are ๐Ÿฑ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ homeschooling transforms educationโ€”and childhood itself. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Homeschoolers ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ academicallyโ€”and the data proves it.

On standardized tests, they score 15-30% higher on average. And this success isnโ€™t tied to family income or parentsโ€™ education levelsโ€”itโ€™s across the board.

Homeschooling works because itโ€™s ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ป๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ. Instead of rigid schedules and cookie-cutter lessons, kids learn at their own pace, driven by curiosity and passion.

Homeschoolers arenโ€™t confined to classrooms, so they experience a wider range of social interactions. They join sports teams, community groups, co-ops, and clubs.

Kids who are homeschooled socialize with people of ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ages, not just other kids their own age, helping them grow into empathetic, confident, and effective communicators.

Homeschoolers donโ€™t just get into collegeโ€”they ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ there.

Studies show 66.7% of homeschoolers graduate from college, compared to 57.5% of traditionally schooled students. Universities seek them out for their independence, creativity, and critical thinking abilities.

Homeschooling prepares kids not just for rigorous academics, but for lifeโ€™s challenges. Thatโ€™s why so many homeschoolers excel in and beyond college. ๐ŸŽ“

Schools outside the home can be stressfulโ€”๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ด.

Bullying, peer pressure, violence, and academic stress take a serious toll on mental health. This usually goes unseen and untreated, leading to additional problems in adult life.

But homeschooling offers a sanctuary: a safe, nurturing space where kids can grow emotionally and intellectually, setting them up for a lifetime of confidence and success.

Homeschooled children report higher self-esteem, lower anxiety, and greater happiness. A peaceful environment makes ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ the difference. โค๏ธ

You donโ€™t need to be a certified teacher to homeschool.

With ready-made curricula, free online resources, and local co-ops, every tool you need is at your fingertips.

Studies show that success in homeschooling doesnโ€™t depend on the parentsโ€™ education levels, but on ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ณ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ท๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ณ ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ฆ.

Thinking seriously about doing this next year. My kid is dyslexic and itโ€™s awesome for creativity but can be challenging in a normative school environment, and it is not helping her self-confidence. But sheโ€™s 8 and friends are so important to herโ€ฆ itโ€™s a tough decision.

Thanks for the note and link. Iโ€™ll look into it.

๐Ÿ˜… every day there is something

you know this Iโ€™m sure, but I think the thing that helps me the most is, if I have a moment downtime, I take it seriously and make sure Iโ€™m recharging โ€˜cause the kid has ten times the energy and will use it all

5yo is such a sweet age and also super attention consuming; mineโ€™s 8yo now, has interests that occupy her and itโ€™s a lot easier in a lot of ways, but social dynamics with friends are a bigger thing and thatโ€™s sometimes challenging. plus sheโ€™s dyslexic and honestly itโ€™s awesome for creativity and fun, but makes us have to track her teachers a lot more closely. anyway, every age has its things as youโ€™ve seen, but it doesnโ€™t stop. thatโ€™s why I think the best thing is to do your practice, whatever it may be, to rejuvenate whenever possible. it wonโ€™t be wasted!

youโ€™ll be great because clearly you care

back at ya, any revelations are always welcome
