The video highlights that as of 2023, US taxpayers spent approximately $16,500 on each public school student, sparking conversations about the us education system. It further states that in the 2021-2022 school year, homeschooling saved taxpayers over $51 billion, showcasing the financial impact of homeschool kids. This comparison between public vs private school funding raises important questions about how to homeschool efficiently and the broader implications for families considering home school options. ❤️
These quotes are CONTROVERSIAL on purpose.
Not to shock — but to make people think.
Some will agree.
Some won’t.
That’s the point.

In this video I share our real homeschool schedule, how we streamlined the curriculum, and exactly what we skip to keep our day manageable without lowering academic standards.
After four years using BJU Press in our homeschool, I’ve learned that the key isn’t doing everything — it’s knowing what actually matters.

🎓 Curriculum Confidence Course
courses.howdoihomeschool.com/p/curriculum-confidence-1
In this video I cover:
• How long BJU Press takes by grade level
• Where the homeschool time actually disappears
• What we skip (especially in math)
• How to streamline review lessons and seatwork
• Why different kids take different amounts of time
• Our real homeschool schedule using BJU Press
If you’re researching Christian homeschool curriculum, BJU Press is one of the most rigorous options available — but it works best when you adapt it to real homeschool life.
God bless.
My eight-year-old son is already comprehending Charles Dickens thanks to our homeschool approach. It's amazing how homeschooling allows kids to pursue advanced subjects like high school archaeology, proving that learning videos can go far beyond simple readers. These homeschool tips truly open up opportunities for children to explore their interests, fostering a love for English reading practice and complex ideas.
In this honest Christian homeschool review, I break down real parent comments, supplement needs, worksheets, and whether Gather Round actually works as a full homeschool plan—especially long term.

Some kids learn to read with joy, others end up sobbing into their phonics workbook. This video cuts through the drama, comparing two popular programs for how to teach a child to read: A. Becker vs. All About Reading. We'll explore their different approaches to teaching phonics and help you decide which is best for your family so your child can enjoy reading with phonics.
👇 Which reading program have you tried?
That’s not a problem.

It fails when parents aren’t actually on board with the decision.

This is MathSylvania™, a multiplication memory card game created by a homeschool family for their own kids—and now shared with others. Instead of drills and tears, it helps multiplication facts stick through play.
We love tools that:
✔️ Feel natural, not forced
✔️ Work alongside real homeschool life
✔️ Help kids learn without burning them out
If your child struggles to memorise multiplication tables (or just hates worksheets), this is a great option to add to your math routine.

Very few have actually looked at the DATA.
The statistic shown in this video comes from research published by the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) and is based on standardized testing results, not anecdotes or isolated success stories.
According to NHERI, homeschool students consistently perform 15–25 percentile points higher than public school students on standardized academic tests and often perform well in college admissions.

If this challenges what you’ve always been told about homeschooling, you’re not alone.

I just released my first video since Curriculum Confidence officially launched — CLE vs. Rod & Staff — and I’m opening this up first to my founding community.
Here’s how it works:
👉 Curriculum Confidence is available at a special founding price of $69 USD
👉 This offer is email-list only
👉 Enrollment is open until the end of January
👉 After that, the price rises to $99 USD
⏰ Important:

No hype.
Just peace, direction, and a plan.
