I started Time4Learning in 2004 to help families homeschool, to simplify the basics. Families start homeschooling for diverse reasons (health, violence, bullying) but they stay for one: they think it's the best for their children & family. #homeschooling time4learning.com

I'm supporting NAMI! Join us for the walk in Miami (organized by Kate) on May 20th! Or just send in a donation. do.nr/9j16ls via @DonorDrive

Wrote a spectacular article on the jokers of the USPCC Bicycle Brand Cards. #playingcards #jokers #collections amusedbyjokersami.com/2022/11/bicycl…

“From anything, you can learn everything” ex: Thru my hobby, collecting joker playing cards, I’m learning about history and art. #cards amusedbyjokersami.com/2022/10/matejk…

@MisterCavey @MsPettyTweets This sounds good but once you group hundreds of kids together in an institutional environment, isn't it hard for them to be authentic and unselfconscious. Don't you think homeschooling supports a learning culture more naturally and reliably? voyagemia.com/interview/dail…

By removing letter-grades and percentages from the picture, we're also getting rid of rank-and-sort. We're saying goodbye to trophy culture. Instead, we're saying that we are a learning community. We pursue proficiency together because we are all developing learners. #BCed

"Homeschoolers and I share a vision that the best education for children caters to the children’s pace, strengths, challenges, and interests." This article, despite the very-glossy pictures, includes a great interview. voyagemia.com/interview/dail…

Are you homeschooling with curriculum that your kids will like? vadogwood.com/2022/10/20/he-…

#homeschoolers - Research shows what we knew, #parents matter to #education. All parents, think about what you can do about those #learninggaps?Would #Time4Learning help your children? news.yahoo.com/opinion-bigges…

I'm reading a significant 10 page contract. #lawyers What's the LEGAL significance of having a paragraph in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS? Does it have any legal significance? It makes it hard to read and of course, IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE YELLING.

A little Croc fun with the family!

@MichellePBurris Curious. Have you or the Century Foundation done any research on K12 homeschool education? The numbers, energy, and changed demographics are staggering. ie census.gov/library/storie…

This year's #BMX Champion (Texas: Pump Track) is a "passionately-driven, laser-focused teenager" who #homeschools with #Time4Learning. Congrats! myparistexas.com/paris-native-b…

New line to me in the last few years: "It's time for a bio break..."

This line in an email made me laugh out loud: "In the last two years, if we were to shortlist the top three most common comments across the globe, one of them would be: 'Are you on mute?'" What about the others?

Yikes. You can listen to a podcast with me on it. Learn my views on #homeschooling and #K12education. I think formal education has a lot to learn from the success of homeschoolers. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-…

@rekhatenjarla Is noise cancelling being looked at to mitigate the cryptocurrency sounds? It’s a predictable noise, it should work! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_no…

And here's one where there is both a written and audio version. It's both me and Dana Bryson of Study.com

@flyingmonkey13 Sounds like a great day. Huge adventure, people who care for you, and so far, no real spiders or snakes... but the night is still young...

If you’re having a bad day, I just want you to know that I saw a spider and screamed until my 11 year old came to kill it and informed me it was a fake eyelash.

In some ways, I prefer written interviews since I'm better able to say what I think it's important. Less personality, more clarity. Which are you better at? Written: voyagemia.com/interview/dail… Verbal: linkedin.com/video/event/ur… #homeschooling #PR

Just heard: "Children today have no skills at alphabetizing" A teacher realized that even in upper elementary, students haven't learned how to do it with any efficiency. Question: Does it matter? Is it a useful skill going forward? Related to an important algorithmic habit?

Back to Homeschool? Hear a podcast by Homeschool.com where they interview....me! homeschool.com/podcasts/serie…

It's almost #backtohomeschool time! Are you excited? The beginning of a new homeschool year should be exciting rather than stressful, but to get to that point requires some planning. homeschool.com/blog/2020/08/1…
