Hard Educational Decisions: A Conversation with Jamie Phipps

from Coffee With Carrie: Homeschool Podcast

Anyone and everyone can homeschool their children, but sometimes, not everyone should homeschool.  The day you became a parent, you became your child's most important teacher so, yes, you can teach your child.  However, there may be life circumstances or challenging seasons that can make home education difficult.  And that is ok!  Saying no to homeschooling for one season doesn't mean it will be a hard "No" forever.  For different reasons, sometimes it is best to pause homeschooling for a more traditional approach.  And that is ok too!  If you are contemplating putting your child back into the public or private school setting, then make sure you listen to this week's conversation with homeschool mom and Humble Heart Press Owner, Jamie Phipps.  Carrie and Jamie candidly talk about how to wisely make this decision and how to move forward without guilt.  Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up, and join Jamie and Carrie for a little coffee and conversation about hard educational decisions.  Print (and bind) your ebooks or digital curriculum at Humble Heart Press: https://www.humbleheartpress.com/   Use the discount code:  COFFEE10Connect with Jamie on Instagram @humbleheartpress.Join Carrie and Jamie at the Northern California Homeschool Convention (NCHC) June 12th-13th.  Both Jamie and Carrie would love to meet you and answer any of your hard educational decision questions.  Register at https://thenchc.us/ Get a Charlotte Mason Co-op Community "Starter Kit."  Email Jamie at [email protected]. Support the showPurchase A Home Education Handbook: 9 Questions to Ask for Simple & Balanced Home-Based LearningPurchase Homeschool High School:  A Handbook for Christian EducationPurchase Just Breathe (and Take a Sip of Coffee):  Homeschool Simply & Enjoyably.  Schedule a Coffee Date (One-on-One Personalized Coaching Session:  Coffee With Carrie Subscribe to Coffee With Carrie email newsletter for FREE Morning Time Plans and monthly tips  https://coffeewithcarrie.org Follow on Instagram @coffeewithcarrieconsultant.
