Thank you for pointing that out about The Good and The Beautiful. I think a lot of people don't know this.

I wish there were more video reviews for homeschools that have children with learning disabilities. Such as dyslexia/dyscalculia.

Praying you continue to feel better🙏I have been there and know the guilt sometimes we have certain plans and the Lord has other plans for us he knows when we need to slow down and get a much needed break. Good thing your kids are in the lower grades still so its much easier so don't stress mom everthing will be fine.😊

Beautiful woman!

Homeschool is wonderful!!! More one on one with your kids & you know they're not being left behind or distracted from learning. We sleep in & make our own schedules & Abeka grades their work & keeps records. Best thing we could've ever done for our family.

This convinced me not to homeschool.

Love this, thank you! ❤

What would you recommend for a simpler less expensive option to teach a child to read?

Khan Academy kids covers elementary as well as pre-k and earlier! I started my daughter playing on it when she was 2!!

It's accredited? Nice!

This so helpful. Thank you for all this info. I love watching your informative videos.. this will be my first year homeschooling and your content has really helped. Thanks so much 💚

Thank you for sharing sis

Amen!!! Yes! yes! yes!! Thank you for being bold!

I didn't get a mobile until I was 30.

The best part of Math U See is the blocks! It is definitely not just worksheets. Those blocks have made MUS the game changer math for my homeschool!

BJU does cost for accreditation. Since they are not a physical school but more of a printing press, they go through a third party for accreditation.

So wish there was either a disclaimer that they were CHRISTIAN homeschool programs, or more variety.

No offense, but if you don’t have a schedule, how are you supposed to have a routine? Kids need a bit of structure. For me when I homeschool my kids, I’m probably going to have a little bit more of a schedule.

Audio is horrible.

Home schooling is illegal in so many countries and thats for a reason. School isnt just learning. Maybe youd know if you had proper education

I wanted to be homeschooled and wanted to know if I can skip grades while homeschooled.. (I know i will have to study i luv studying i jst wanted to know if it possible)

Hi , my son is ready to start his 4th year and he STRUGGLES with reading we've gone back and started with the basics twice and I really don't know where to start him do you have any recommendations?

Can we say 'gojous' pictures?

👏

"If you want patience you have to pray for it", love that! I don't know anyone who started off homeschooling with loads of patience. God is gracious and blesses us with more of it over time. He is patient with us! ❤

Thanks for this! What do you mean “omnibus”?

I concur, and you’ve explained it very well. We’ve heard so much about today’s Christian curricula not having enough about the Gospel of Christ in it, or that its too weak, which is why we created Fetch The Goodness, which teaches 100% of the good news of the Gospel and we do this through animations, podcasts, curricula, live events and puppetry for children 12 and under. We’re working on a television series currently, inside our FTG Studio. Then we’ll launch everything at the same time.

I love this. We mom must think of ourselves too!!!😊

Dad: It says X/3+2x^2=54 whats X Kid: I dont know.... about 5? Dad: 5 of what? ... jusk ask google *leaves

I'm not going to set out to purchase curriculum to teach my children about Jesus. You could have excellent Bible-based curriculum and if you the parent aren't daily demonstrating Jesus's ways in your own character, that curriculum won't matter. I just purchased TG&TB for our kids and so far it is lovely. We are Bible-believing followers of Jesus Christ and don't need to fear any curriculum because He has given us the Holy Spirit and discernment. I actually came to Christ after having been given a book of mormon. They tried to convert me but I was seeking God. Another person gave me the true Holy Scriptures. I clung to them. Your kids are not going to come to Christ through your homeschool curriculum, and a curriculum like TG&TB isn't going to damn them. It's raising them up in God's word, in prayer, in grace for each-other, in humility, in asking forgiveness, in our example of trying to do His will and asking for forgiveness when we fall short. And showing them beauty in the form of art, poetry, and literature can absolutely help them along the narrow path. I've read many books from Christians who believe differently that I do theologically. I want to instruct my children in such a way that they will be able to understand that not everyone does believe the same things and that's okay-we believe the way we believe because this is what the Bible says and the Bible is God's word. If we come across erroneous teaching, bad doctrine, or sinful behavior in a book or curriculum we talk about it, discuss it, show them discernment in action. I doubt we will need to do that for TG&TB but I'll be keeping my eyes open! I find these type of videos in bad taste, especially the popping noises, black and white effects, and other dramatic controversy-driven, stress-inducing hype. If you want to see more Christ-like encouragement and behavior check out Jenny Phillips on The Good and The Beautiful youtube channel. I really enjoyed her "How I design my days" video.

Modern problems require modern solutions. There is no constitutional mandate for the universal compulsory public education system. Defund all public schools, auction off the assets to private companies. Let private industry sort it out. And for those that can’t afford it, or violate policy? Dunkin’ Donuts and the Marine Corps are always hiring.

Also a second generation Aussie homeschooler here! Your content has been really helpful to our family. We made the decision to pull my eldest two out of school and begin homeschooling a few years ago and within 2 weeks found out we were pregnant with number 4.😂 Like you, each of my pregnancies has got harder and that first trimester was a nightmare with sickness, learning homeschooling for 2, and looking after a toddler. It was like a perfect storm. Good on you for having the wisdom to slow down and pause when you need to. I didn't and I wish I had. I just made things more stressful for myself and kids out of my own insecurity and comparisons. I'm still learning this and bub number 4 is a year and a half now. Through all of these stages (pregnancy, newborn, active toddler who runs away at homeschool outings or needs to be napping), I am learning that I need to adjust and rely on grace. Being ok to let go, do less, and trust God by doing only what he's saying for your family's homeschool is a huge blessing that is really freeing.

Great video! I wanted to add my thoughts. We have used TGTB for 2 years now, level K, and Level 1 and we will be using Level 2 this coming year. I don’t use this curriculum to teach my child the Bible. I use the Bible to teach the Bible. We also love The Answers books for kids by Ken Ham. I will say that there are plenty of references of the New Testament throughout TGTB curriculum, whether it’s LA or Handwriting. TGTB has worked very well for us and my daughter loves it! It is affordable and it is easy for me to teach! We have used BJU Press for Spelling and it is great! I love that they incorporate the Bible in their workbooks no matter what subject, however buying an entire grade level for our family on one income would be very hard! It is a solid company though and I never rule anything out! Thank you for insight!!

Congratulations!! What a wonderful example to all of us Mama's to listen to our bodies and the Lord and just pause when necessary!

Thank you!

Congratulations!!! So excited for y’all! I had most of my pregnancies in the summer (so convenient 😅) but If I get pregnant again I’m not sure what I’m gonna do 😂

Oh girl, I’m sorry it was so hard for you. I’m glad you found that a brake was needed in your homeschool and had peace in that. God bless the rest of your pregnancy and give you strength!

Thank you so much for this video!! You've helped me so much!

I’m on my 4th pregnancy in 5 years and every time I get pregnant life pauses 😂. I get so tired and nauseous and I can hardly tend to kids let alone the house. Thankfully my kids are 4 and under so no real homeschooling happening just yet! I’m 37 this year so feeling old. This to shall pass and then once baby is born we feel human again and life resumes!

My wife has reading challenges but we want to homeschool, I think if we do a video based homeschool program she won’t have to try to read and help them with questions she can just monitor them and help them stay focused???

I appreciate you calling out TGATB.

Hi. Thanks for your videos. Im wondering why deschool when you are using BJU which is a very traditional. Id love to hear your thoughts

You've got a lot of Mormon and non-Christian followers, Would you rather they not be apart of your TH-cam subscribers? It seems that while you disagree with the religion even to the point that the CEO of the TGATB Mormon religion that isn't even remotely recognized in the teachings of TGATB that you would avoid it at all cost. Wouldn't you want the same from your followers?

I really like your shirt!

Love this video, thank you! I do take issue with the idea that ACE is too easy - I agree that probably the elementary levels that may be the case, however their English program is really good imo and quite challenging in the highschool levels, and set me up well for college. Same with highschool math. Every other subject I don't have great things to say about, but the math and English at higher levels were fine.

Hi Rebekah! Thank you for this insightful video! I love all of them, they are so helpful for me when I’m picking a new curriculum. I have Spasmodic Dysphonia, a vocal condition where a lose my voice on average of 7 days every month. It’s very complicated for me to homeschool trying to use hand gestures when my kids are 6 and under. Is there a program that has both videos and I could teach, until I can’t teach, then go back to videos? 😅 I want to teach them myself but do need that extra help. I know BJU has the DVD’s, would I have to buy them and the teach it yourself version?

Christian liberty Academy has a full curriculum and is cheaper than Abeka but uses some Abeka books. We now use core knowledge curriculum which is free and some Acellus but we get some Christian books from CLA
