Bringing Homeschool Joy to Families Everywhere!

Our wonderful homeschool co-op was forced to go online in 2020. My adventure with online learning and where I am today.

Whole year or semester.

Live courses v. Go at Your Own Pace.

Like a co-op with class time and work at home.

Teachers often Teach what they love (great if there are subjects you hate teaching)

Great for working homeschool moms

A unique perspective

Gives Mom a break

Build friendships all over the world

Can get disconnected from children and what they are learning

Can forget to make sure they are doing their homework

Can hamper spontaneity

Possible clash of worldviews/morals/ values

Easy to get behind in courses for some students

Everybody learning something different (20^th Century)

Listen in to classes occasionally

Meet weekly to discuss what they are learning and what homework is due the next week

Connect with teacher regularly

Encourage children/teens to work hard and do their best
