Avoiding the Pitfalls - Missy Andrews, Part 3
What starts as a conversation on homeschooling multiple children turns into a rich discussion on the nature of learning, teaching, and avoiding the pitfalls of home education.
Missy Andrews Joins Yvette Hampton to share wisdom from her many years as a homeschool mom, curriculum publisher, and literature expert.
Watch this full conversation on our YouTube channel.
This week Missy and Yvette cover the following topics:
- Is it really possible for me to give my kids a top drawer, literary education when I am just one person - and maybe not even a very well-educated person?
- How can the concept of mastery education intensify the already substantial burden that homeschooling parents carry?
- How might clarifying our definition of education free us from the tyranny of booklists?
- If education isn't a list of facts and books, then what is it?
- If education is less about how many books you read and more about how you read them, then my booklist just got a lot shorter! Isn't this too good to be true?
- How might an unexamined view of success and identity complicate the homeschooling process?
- How does the gospel liberate us to homeschool our kids joyfully and graciously?
