Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution

What does real education look like? How has today’s traditional school model strayed from the heart of true education, and what can we do as homeschooling parents to avoid these traditional schooling traps?
Former public school teacher, Kelly Crawford, joins Yvette Hampton to talk about the difference between “School" and "Education.”
Come back tomorrow for the rest of this important conversation.
Watch this full conversation on our YouTube channel.
In this interview Kelly discusses the following topics:
How to take the stress out of homeschooling
How parents can deprogram from the way they think school should look in order to have more freedom and less stress in homeschooling
The natural ability children have to learn on their own
How intelligence takes many forms, and why we can trust our children to navigate through the learning process
Why test scores are a bad indication of intelligence
Why the college degree path is overrated and my just be a trap
What homeschooling parents fear most and what causes them the most stress?
Kelly Crawford and her husband, Aaron, live on a quiet farm in the deep South. They have 11 children and have been homeschooling since 2001. Kelly has been featured in several publications, on several radio programs and does occasional speaking about topics related to homeschooling, family and finance. She has authored the book, "When Motherhood Feels Too Hard", "Think Outside the Classroom," as well as several others, and has been blogging at Generation Cedar for 16 years, where she seeks to encourage mothers and wives in their Kingdom calling of building Christian homes and discipling their children.

What should homeschooling look like for preschool? Is it even necessary?Erin Cox joins Yvette Hampton to discuss homeschooling through the preschool years, and emotional, academic, and spiritual growth from preschool to adulthood.
Come back tomorrow and Thursday for a bonus conversation with Natalie Mack on homeschooling and the military.
Watch this full conversation on our YouTube channel.
Erin is a joy-chasing homeschool mama to 4 babies, ages young adult down to elementary. She married her grade-school sweetheart over 20 years ago, and lives to love him well. Erin writes about homeschooling, taking hard moments captive for Christ, and loving her family well at Life, Abundantly. She is the author of multiple early-years Charlotte Mason and Classically-inspired programs at The Gentle + Classical Press and is the Founding Editor in Chief of On Mission, a quarterly culture-focused geography magazine.
In this interview you will learn:
What makes the preschool years so important developmentally (not just physically but emotionally and spiritually).
If "preschool" really necessary... shouldn't we just let them play?
What we should be focused on in the preschool years, academically.
The three primary "focuses" in the preschool years? (How to relate to God, to self, and to others)
What preschool has to do with redeeming our broader culture?
What our responsibility as Christian homeschoolers is to the greater popular culture. Should we hunker down and just keep our kids safe?
The difference between "real" culture as opposed to popular culture)

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?
