If you or someone you know is a new “accidental homeschooler,” you are in good company! Today, we are excited to introduce you to Kristina Keller, a mom of three who never intended to homeschool—but is now entering her 11th year of teaching her children. In her interview with Little Rock Family Magazine, Kristina shares insights and resources from her years of experience.
There is a lot of uncertainty across the country right now regarding what this next school year will look like, and over these last few months we have fielded a record number of inquiries about why parents should choose Classical Conversations and best homeschooling practices in general.
Parents across the world are facing the realization that they are uncomfortable sending their child back to the public or private school system and asking the question, “In light of this new world, what is the best option for educating my child at home?” And, “Even if the current shutdown only lasts a few months to a year, is the Classical Conversations model still the best way to prepare my child for success in their future education?”
To that question, we would answer a resounding, “Yes!” Here are 14 reasons new homeschoolers will want to choose Classical Conversations, as well as one reason current homeschoolers should help these new ones be successful.
In roughly two-months’ time, schools will reopen. The big questions on every parents’ mind are, “What in the world will that look like?” Will it be safe with the coronavirus?”
Depending on your state or city or school, there will be various regulations regarding the enforcement of sanitation, masks, temperature checks, hand-washing, and social distancing. Some schools are implementing rotating schedules, in which, on a single day, half of students come into the classroom while the other half participates online from home, switching roles the following day. Indeed, some schools will remain online entirely. With all these local regulations differing from one another, there is a good deal of confusion and uncertainty floating around.
The coronavirus pandemic has caused the entire world to slow to a grinding halt. Sickness, sadness, and loneliness are running rampant in our communities. Schools across the nation have shut their doors; healthcare workers are overwhelmed, and unemployment claims are off the charts. This is a difficult time on so many levels and one that we hope is never repeated, but there has never been a better opportunity to slow down and be grateful for the many blessings in our lives. Let’s spread some positivity by sharing our gratefulness stories!
Classical Conversations CEO Robert Bortins recently sat down with journalist Dan Andros of Faithwire.com to discuss how to homeschool during the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. This ten minute interview should give parents some help to make their day a little bit easier.
Here are a few tips about how to homeschool during the coronavirus.
