In many homeschool groups on the online space, parents are asking for the best curriculums out there. Very rarely will a whole collective group of homeschooling parents agree on what the best curriculum of all time is. Because really, there isn’t the best curriculum for everyone, but there is the best curriculum for your particular family unit. No homeschooling family is alike.
There are literally thousands of curriculum choices out there. From all-in-ones, piecing together, hodge-podge, you name it, and it is out there, with technology, homeschooling curriculum, and choices have become a lot more readily available than they once were.
For part of 2025, I have decided to do blog posts centering around frequently asked homeschool questions. I have been asked these questions or seen them in various online spaces. In this post, I will discuss the various types of homeschooling, just as there are different types of learners and even different types of public schools (such as charter, Montessori, STEM, etc.). I have found that there are nine common types of homeschooling.
For part of 2025, I have decided to do blog posts centering around frequently asked homeschool questions. I have been asked these questions or seen them in various online spaces. In many homeschool groups in the online space, ask about the easiest and hardest things about homeschooling. Like most of these last few blog posts, I can only speak about what has been my own experience. My hardest and easiest parts may not be yours, but they may still help shed some light.
For part of 2025, I have decided to do blog posts centering around frequently asked homeschool questions. I have been asked these questions or seen them in various online spaces. In many homeschool groups in the online space, parents are concerned about Socialization. UH! This is like nails to the chalkboard, adding nauseum, etc. Socialization is just a horrible, nasty, and vial term amongst the homeschool community. I have addressed it before in a blog post titled We are Planty Socialized (I Promise)!
For part of 2025, I have decided to do blog posts centering around frequently asked homeschool questions. I have been asked these questions or seen them in various online spaces. In many homeschool groups in the online space, parents are asking how long homeschooling actually takes. Just like anything, it can vary from one family to the next. Still, generally, it doesn’t and shouldn’t take all day as traditional public school does. I have seen information like this graphic in several places. It is a good rule of thumb and guideline to try to follow (loosely) if you take less time or more time. As long as you are not being overly rigorous or skipping out on everything, you should be fine somewhere within these guidelines.

During a long-term sub, I did (eons ago now), I had my sophomores create a classroom newspaper. This project has always been in the back of my mind to re-create. I started to create a version of it for Christmas school this year (which I am still planning to do), but my planning exploded, and well, here we are.
When have you ever been asked to show your high school diploma? Do you carry it around in your back pocket with your driver’s license? Probably not. I am not trying to provoke anyone in that statement, but it is what it is. If you are the parent, then that qualifies you to homeschool your children. Under your state’s laws, you are also qualified to issue a homeschooling diploma on your student’s behalf.
If you have been following us on our Facebook Page or Instagram, you have seen the progression of adding the Alternative Book Report Resources to our Printables page. Since all nineteen of them are finally complete, I figured this labor of love was owed its blog post to introduce them more officially. About two-three years ago, I began creating these alternative book reports for our big girls. We used them for about a year, so I had them all created, but they lacked rubrics and things to enhance them beyond our personal use. I put out a few for sale last year when I put out our Christmas School Units, and they started to sell here and there. I then set out at the beginning of this year to complete them all for sale and create a Bundle of them.

I have been asked when people find out we homeschool, "Well, who do you report to, or how are you held accountable to make sure they are learning what they are supposed to be lea
