Many immigrant churches are like this - not in a demanding way, but in a high opportunity way, as one PP mentioned. For immigrant churches, teh church serves both a religious and a social function, and it’s comfortable to center ones life around it

I’n sorry if I missed this, but where is this schema from?

I’m planning to do the same! We will still mask in public and minimize trips to public spaces, but I will get on a plane and fly to see my parents

I'm interested in perspectives from non evangelicals and non exvangelicals, too 🙂 I should have made the title of the thread less exclusive! That's what happens when you post at close to midnight...

Spin off from the thread started by @Homeschool Mom in AZ Any thoughts on this?

You could check out Critical Thinking Company’s Balance Benders or Balance Math and More?

Science: We use BFSU, discussion style. We discuss the concepts and take rabbit trails to watch related YouTube videos or read related books and articles. I do not give any tests. I require a lot of narrative summaries and explanations from the kids during our discussions, in order to check comprehension. History: One child (will be 6th) will finish SOTW4 next year. We schedule history 2/ week. This child reads and outlines half the chapter one day, reads and write a written narration of the other half of the chapter on the other day. The written narration goes into a timeline.

Sorry here is the quote— how did you build that community (one that prizes learning) for yourself and or your kids? ETA- I can contact you by pm, since this is a total tangent from the thread

How were you able to do this? Were you Able to do it in-person for yourself and your kids? Or just for yourself, or just for your kids?

I have never used that kind of kit but homesciencetools.com usually has good kits

Oh wait, it might be in a different book that he wrote, Less Than Words Can Say - I don’t remember which one off they top of my head. They are both very entertaining reads. You can get a taste for his style here: https://sourcetext.com/writing-against-your-life/ Tagging @Not_a_Numberbecause I think you might find his writings interesting food for thought.

This reminds me of Richard Mitchell’s Graves of Academe and his scathing criticism of teacher training programs... I thought he was being hyperbolic but maybe not.
