The homeschooling movement began in the 1970s when resea...
Requirements for Homeschooling
For the majority of parents who homeschool, the only prerequisite is the desire and dedication to take on the education of their children.
Author John Holt pointed out that the most important thing parents need to homeschool their children is "to like them, enjoy their company, their physical presence, their energy, foolishness, and passion."

5 valuable productivity lessons that preschoolers can teach you
Welcome help
We’re all aware that asking for help is important. But we’re also very likely to cast off what we’d consider unsolicited advice.
Think of a child looking for a lost toy. You might not e...
Channel your inner learner
Children instinctively pursue knowledge by actively moving around their environments, observing what’s going on around them, and taking mental notes about what they experience.
By assuming that there’s always more to learn, we can follow the childlike drive to develop new ideas about familiar things.
Spend time exploring
It’s both natural and useful to take time to explore a task before committing to one path forward.
While children tend to do this automatically, adults may need to plan ahead for their exploratory time. Explore: consider multiple solutions, ask questions that may seem tangential, and be open to discovering unexpected ways to tackle the project.

Radio school
The radio school experiment during the polio outbreak was highly innovative and untested. Some 315,000 children in grades 3 through 8 received lessons on the radio while at home.
Chicago teachers collaborated to create on-air lessons for each grade, local radio stations donated air time, and local papers printed class schedules each morning. Classes were just 15 minutes, providing simple broad questions and assigning homework.
Remote school challenges
News stories reporting on radio school were mostly positive, but articles also pointed out the challenges. Some children didn't have access to radios. Other kids were distracted or struggled to follow the lessons. They could not ask questions in the moment, and kids needed more parental involvement.
In 2020, when the pandemic shut down schools, many countries turned to multiple platforms, such as television, radio, and internet. However, they continue to face similar challenges to those the radio school faced in the 1930s.
