What Real Learning Looks Like: A Homeschool Mom's Framework After 36 Years
Description
In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what “real” learning looks like after 36 years of homeschooling my 15 children. We’ve journeyed through the philosophies of Charlotte Mason, Ruth Beechick, Raymond Moore, John Holt, and more—but now it’s time to ask: How do we put all of this into practice?
I’ll walk you through a 30,000-foot view of a four-part framework that changed everything for our family:
- A child’s relationship with God and man
- Tools for learning (the basics done well)
- Content (truth-driven and interest-based)
- Practical skills (the stuff of real life)
We’ll also talk about why mimicking public education leads to burnout, how to stay focused in a sea of choices, and how to homeschool with purpose, not just curriculum.
Whether you’re just starting out or have been at this a while, this episode will help you reset and refocus on what really matters. Let’s do this—together.
