If there is anything to learn from The Scouring of the Shire, it is that the truth of the King's reign must be pushed into every square inch of the corners of the world.

Lowe's lady employee: "I like your outfit."
Me: "Thanks! It's got a 1940's waitress feel, don't you think?"
"Yes, but most women weren't working in the '40's and I'll tell you, when I get to Heaven, if I find the lady who pushed for women to work, I'm going to fight them."

If SBC churches gave a portion of their missions budget to ensuring every child in the congregation could receive a solid and excellent K-12 Christian education (homeschool or private school), it'd pay far more spiritual dividends than giving to NAMB or the ERLC.

Folks who try to reason with a three year old are the worst. Three year olds are, by nature, unreasonable. Spankings, even mild ones, are an excellent way to discipline a child who has a limited ability to reason. Explanations alone are largely ineffective.

If you homeschool your kid but give them free reign to social media and the the internet you're party to the active un-discipling of your child by a world of people who don't care about your homeschool and discipleship intentions.

Train your little girls in the same modest standard you'll expect from your teenage girls. No wishy-washy standard changes you'll have to defend at some random later date (and probably lose). Establish the norm early: these parts are for showing, these parts are not.

Toddlers need close physical proximity in discipline and correction.

Everyone thinks their kids are the exception but your son graduates high school thinking Nietzsche is cool and your daughter wore a hooker's outfit to prom.
Sending your kids to public school certainly is sending them to a mission field.
The only problem is that their peers and unbelieving teachers are the missionaries—and your kids will often end up converts.

A whole degree. In literature.
Had to go teach at a classical K-12 to complete my college education.
It’s not only possible, it is now the norm, to go from Pre-K to PhD without reading a single word from Homer, Plato, Augustine, Dante, Shakespeare, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Jane Austen, Frederick Douglass, Tolkien, Churchill, C.S. Lewis, Flannery O’Connor, or MLK.

Just your daily reminder to postpone formal education until age 7, if possible. If in a traditional system, start Kindergarten at 6.
What is this obsession amongst the homeschooling community to have your kid be the youngest to read/write/graduate?
I just don't get it. While I expect my children to get a much better education than in the public school system, I do not see the point in rushing them through

There is something truly healthy about having to detach as a middle schooler or teenager from socializing. Instead of leaving school and having an opportunity to decompress at home, for most kids with a smart phone, the drama only ramps up, leaving no time to process or rest.

Our classical school has spent quite a lot of time thinking about this very thing. FWIW, here are the collective thoughts on the matter from some of the most thoughtful and godly educators I know:
🧵
I’ve seen an alarming tendency in a large % of young men who are the product home school or classical Christian education.
It’s not social awkwardness.
There is some.
But the bigger issue is…
They lack fire.
There is little to no wildness.
They are tame and a bit repressed.

I may use this with my 7th graders to demonstrate a false dichotomy in their logic class.
Sisters, for your examination, encouragement & courage, do some research on Romans 16 where Paul sends greetings to both men & women who were laboring faithfully for the gospel. These sisters weren’t just packing the brothers’ lunchkits. They were fellow servants of Christ Jesus.

Handwriting matters. Homeschooling parents and classroom teachers out there, insist on tidy work. Good handwriting, using margins, etc. Tidiness in the small things matters if you want tidiness in the big things to matter, too.

Your kids should do something at least every day that they don't want to: chores,schoolwork, manual labor, sharing, etc.
