Hi everyone, I have a 4th grader. We just started homeschooling this year and with all the subjects it already feels like a lot each day. What do your days look like as far as what subjects you’re teaching and how are you spacing it out? We would like to have academics done before 12 on most days. We start at 8:30-9am. Any pointers? Any advice?
Hi there! This will be our first year homeschooling our soon to be 4th grader. She has been begging to be homeschooled for 2 years and we finally now doing it. We have two younger ones one in kinder and the other in 2nd. They will not be homeschooled (they don’t want to 😂)
But anyway, I’m starting to feel more confident now but I’ve been going back and forth on it so much. My background is in education and I feel confident to teach but just afraid of failing my kid.
Anyone ever homeschool and completely regretted it? Reasons why yes or why not?
Thank you all!
I decided to post this here because this thread really bums me out sometimes. There is so much misunderstanding about God. People go to the internet instead of the Bible and the Holy Spirit for understanding.
I’ll be honest — I think a lot of misunderstandings about God and the Bible come from not studying Scripture in its proper context. The Bible is ultimately about God: His character, His holiness, His justice, mercy, and love. It’s not primarily centered on us.
Each book of the Bible communicates truth differently. Some passages are poetry, some are parables, some are historical accounts, prophecy, wisdom literature, etc. Understanding the genre and context matters deeply when interpreting Scripture.
I think sometimes people approach God like He exists only to give us what we want, but the Bible consistently points us back to who God is, not simply what He can provide for us.
I would really encourage studying the Bible in context — culturally, historically, and within the full message of Scripture. The Bible was not written directly to us in our modern culture, but it was written for us. Because of that, there are cultural and historical details that can be easy to misunderstand if we read modern assumptions into ancient texts.
