If you can read, you can teach your child to read. Link in bio for my free reading curriculum. The recipe for teaching a child to read is free and simple: Ingredients: - 1 Engaged Parent - 10 Minutes of Daily Phonics Lessons - 20 minutes of daily read alouds (from any book you…
My son drew a pumpkindile (a creature he invented). This kid is so cool, I love him a bunch. ❤️
Listen, I'm not a qualified doctor of history like this nice fella, but I'm about to be a qualified doctor of education and I officially declare that you're qualified to homeschool your children. You are officially qualified as their first, best, and primary teacher. 🎉
Qualification assumes an external qualifying body, i.e. a central planning bureaucracy of control - what’s next for busybody statists to claim that parents are not “qualified” to do? Ridiculous and absurd.
I only know of one university in the USA that is doing this exceptionally well, but people REALLY don't like it because "my college experience".
The simple solution is proctored standardized tests. Abolish grades, which are bullshit anyway. The only thing that matters is if you can pass the test.
Excited about this webinar tomorrow! I'll be taking about the literacy crisis, how we got here, and what parents can do about it. 😊 📚

If you don't recognize that there's a literacy crisis, you're possibly a victim of the literacy crisis.
I'm not anti-gaming by any means but CURATION is essential. Kids should not have online access to Roblox, Fortnight, or Minecraft. This article is so important. Warning: it will freak you out. Game as a family, don't have your kids game with random creeps online.
Do your kids play Roblox? You should read this explainer, about how the monetization strategies of multi-player games have changed, incentivizing companies to put kids into harmful situations in 8 ways. New at AfterBabel.com afterbabel.com/p/its-not-just…
I could never make a geography curriculum it would just be this. 👇🏻
I randomly watched the first 2 movies of twilight when I was in between jobs & depressed & the other day I found a random map of Washington at the thrift store so I hung it up in the kids room & my 5 year old said “that’s where vampires live” 🤣🤣🤣
Those are big words coming from people who can't teach kids how to read 😂
The National Education Association's handbook says that "home schooling programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience." Oh, the irony.
Me: Children should learn how to actually read instead of being told to just guess the word by looking at the pictures on the page. X dot com probably: OH I'M SORRY YOU HATE EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CHINA AND THINK THAT ANCIENT EGYPTIANS COULDN'T READ STUPID WOMAN
People are slowly discovering that I'm basically that feminist bookstore lady from Portlandia if she thought that men and women were both really fantastic. It's all coming together now.
People get so funny about things that don't really matter that much. My husband took my last name. My family's name was dying out - his family's name was thriving. We were all very honored that he did that. Especially my grandfather. Married 12 years, big happy family. ☺️
Not taking your husband’s last name is a major red flag.
Lol, shocked daily on this site. THIS ONE was controversial?! No. Guessing based on illustrations is not reading. It's teaching children to pretend to read. Perfect example of this issue from the fantastic documentary (free on YouTube!) The Right to Read with @KJWinEducation
If the only way for a child to "read" a page is to guess the word by looking at a picture, they're not actually reading.
