Our Skimming Society - How Passive Learning is Not Working

Send us Fan MailIn today’s episode of Homeschool is a Work of Heart, I’m naming a growing problem I’m seeing everywhere: we are becoming a skimming society. Skimming is fine for recreational enjoyment, but such passive engagement hurts today's learners. We need to do better.Students are racing through instruction, multitasking, and playing learning videos at high speeds while missing the deeper thinking real learning requires. Please tune in to hear the explanation as to why exposure is not the same as understanding, why attention matters more than speed, and how poor digital habits can quietly weaken focus, follow-through, and long-term retention. Most importantly, I’ll share how we can build stronger learning habits at home, even when using online and digital instruction. This conversation is about raising the bar with love, clarity, and practical accountability.
