168. The Evolution of our Homeschool & the Principles that Guide It

3 november 2026 · 48 min
Afspelen

I never planned to homeschool. I'm a former middle school teacher, and the only homeschool family I knew growing up joined a polygamist group. Yet in 2020 I pulled my kids out of public school, and on our very first day everyone ended up in tears. In this episode I walk you through how our homeschool has changed over six years. We went from rigid curriculum to deschooling, then to child-led learning and concurrent enrollment, and finally to the vintage curriculum we use today: McGuffey Readers, Ray's Arithmetic and Harvey's Grammar. I also share the five principles I now consider non-negotiable for a successful homeschool. I call them the Old School Advantage. Whether you're new to homeschooling, wondering about unschooling, or homeschooling teens, this one's for you. Lees meer

165. Struggling Reader? 3 Things We Do Every Week (Including a 190-Year-Old Reader)

13 oktober 2026 · 24 min
Afspelen

Is your child a "good reader" who can't actually tell you what they just read? A distressed mama asked me in the comments how we handle struggling readers, so in Episode 165 I'm walking through the 3 things we do in our homeschool for reading comprehension: Lees meer

1. Read-alouds — chosen by me, read purely for the joy of the story (no worksheets!)
2. Quiet Reading Time (QRT) — 30 minutes a day, at the level where your child can actually succeed, even if that means dropping back to Frog and Toad
3. The McGuffey Readers — the 190-year-old readers we use for oral reading, spelling, vocabulary, narration and comprehension questions in 10–15 minutes

I also share how my "best reader in the class" son broke down in tears over a chapter book, and what I learned about meeting kids where they are.

164. Have We Confused Schooling With Learning? with Dr. Pablo Riboldi

6 oktober 2026 · 51 min
Afspelen

What happens when an instructional-science PhD decides grades and tests may be getting in the way of real learning? Lees meer

Dr. Pablo Riboldi joins me to explain why he built a homeschool program without traditional grades or tests, why he returned to classical texts like Euclid's Elements, and why students should become responsible for their own education.

We talk about vintage textbooks, the flipped classroom, intellectual honesty, teaching children to think, and a radically different definition of what it means to be educated.

And if you've ever worried that you're not qualified to homeschool your children, stay until the end. His message to parents is one you need to hear.

We discuss sensory processing, handwriting and reading struggles, movement, interoception, proprioception, outdoor and risky play, occupational therapy, and how to tell when a child may need more than a different curriculum. Sarah also shares practical ways homeschool parents can observe their children, work with their strengths, build a support team, and recognize when the parent may need support too.
