My teaching journey has taken me from teaching math to other people’s children to teaching all subjects to my own kids. My older child spent K-4th grades in pubic school and has completed 6 years of schooling at home. He is 2 years away from graduating homeschool high school. My younger child had never attended school and is starting 2nd grade at home. As a secular home educator, it is important to me that my children receive a solid academic foundation that includes:
- evidence-based science grounded in currently held scientific theories
- diverse perspectives in literature, social issues, and history including mythologies of ancient and modern cultures
- rigorous mathematics
- reading and writing skills expected of adults in the professional world
- music, art, and athletics according to their interests
