Getting Started in Homeschooling - Israel Wayne
Yvette Hampton talks with author and speaker, Israel Wayne about How to start homeschooling. Israel Wayne is the author of Answers for Homeschooling: Top 25 Questions Critics Ask, which answers many of the questions that people have when considering whether homeschooling is appropriate for their family. In this episode Israel and Yvette discuss why so many families choose to homeschool and what the alternatives (public school, and private school look like). They also discuss whether homeschooling is appropriate for all types of families, or if it is best suited to certain groups.
In the second part of this interview, they discuss what steps to take if a family wants to start homeschooling and what really matters when they start, whether curriculum choices, educational methods, scheduling, organization, life skills, relationships, or discipleship. Finally, Israel gives helpful insights for dads in leading their families in instruction and discipleship.
