Episode 43: Financially Accessible Homeschooling – How Do We Offer our Children an Abundant Life?

Does homeschooling have to cost a lot of money? We tap into this topic with Anne from @obytheby and Eclectic Kids and come to the conclusion that living richly and abundantly is indeed possible without expensive classes, outings and materials. We agree that sometimes we might choose those things but that as we slow down, observe and integrate other things into our days, they don’t seem as necessary or even desired. *This isn’t a conversation that suggests that everyone wants to or can homeschool, either financially or otherwise. It’s an opportunity for us to sift through how home education can be simplified and enjoyed at a much lower cost than people might imagine and that while that still might not make it possible for ALL people, it might make it possible for MORE people. Something that comes up throughout the conversation is the role that gradual deschooling plays in becoming more comfortable with living simply. We’d love you to tune in and hear our thoughts. If you have links to additional free, low-cost or Pay What You Can resources, please send them our way via Comments or the Ever Learning email and we’ll get a running list going. Resources: @obythebyEclectic KidsEclectic Kids ExploreBirdboundAbundant Homeschooling Doesn’t Need to Cost a Lot of Money – Ever LearningHow Much Novelty Do Our Kids Need? – Episode #11: Virtual Kitchen Table Episode Fear of Missing Out – Episode #26: Virtual Kitchen Table Episode Easy Peasy HomeschoolAll in One Homeschool High SchoolThe Good and the Beautiful Khan AcademyVirtual Kitchen Table Community
