For part of 2025, I have decided to do blog posts centering around frequently asked homeschool questions. I have been asked these questions or seen them in various online spaces. While I am sure there are plenty of questions I haven't answered, I am wrapping up this series for the year here.

I began the series by discussing how to get started with homeschooling. I have discussed this before (HERE), and there is even a small series of helpful videos available HERE on my webpage. We no longer need to be qualified to teach because, as your children's parents, you are uniquely qualified to teach them, having done so from the moment they were born.

For part of 2025, I have decided to do blog posts centering around frequently asked homeschool questions. I have been asked these questions or seen them in various online spaces.

While this question disturbs me somewhat, as I said, I have seen it more as a reason people don't want to homeschool. So I sat back and thought about it; I see these questions in plain sight in stay-at-home mom groups and mom groups all the time, in some form or another.

For part of 2025, I have decided to do blog posts centering around frequently asked homeschool questions. I have been asked these questions or seen them in various online spaces. This post will dive into the "needs" of homeschooling. With public school, you often have a list of two or three school supplies to buy, while homeschooling requires fewer items. However, as the years have gone by, we've found that some things have become very handy for us. I have taken the time to compile our list of things here.

The most basic thing you need in your homeschool is STUDENTS (ha ha…). But more seriously, you need a plan; even if you're unschooling, you still need to plan —that's what you're doing so that you can track what's going on at the back of your mind.

For part of 2025, I have decided to do blog posts centering around frequently asked homeschool questions. I have been asked these questions or seen them in various online spaces. In this post, I will discuss the various types of homeschooling, just as there are different types of learners and even different types of public schools (such as charter, Montessori, STEM, etc.). I have found that there are nine common types of homeschooling.
