In this episode, we take a practical look at what it actually involves to apply for homeschooling and register your children, including what the process looks like in Australia and what to expect when an authorised person comes to your home. Bec also shares her recent experience going through the registration process, so you can hear what the visit is really like and hopefully feel a little less nervous about it. Not the most glamorous part of homeschooling, but definitely one of the things you need to know before you begin! https://www.nsw.gov.au/education-and-training/home-schooling/support-material/templates-for-home-schooling-parents
In this episode, we’re talking about three books that had a surprisingly big impact on our decision to homeschool. During those early days of wondering, researching and asking “could we actually do this?”, these books helped shape a whole new philosophy of education and gave us the courage to give homeschooling a go. If you’re in that contemplative phase yourself, these might be worth adding to your reading list! https://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_do_schools_kill_creativity
In our very first episode, we’re going right back to the beginning - before homeschooling was ever part of the plan! Bec and Tess share the stories of how they went from casually joking about homeschooling to actually making the decision to take the leap. We chat about the doubts, fears, excitement and all the thoughts that went through our heads along the way, and how neither of us ever expected that little joke to become our reality.
