SHOW TOPICS:  Ever feel overwhelmed about homeschooling?  You’ll find inspiration in Leigh Ann and Jason’s story.  They are homeschooling six kids!!!  They cover how it feels to get started, using analogies like super-bananas, and general principles, like teaching kids to govern themselves.  Also, since Jason is the ambassador concierge at Satlantis, we preview this Nostr/Bitcoin project at the end of the program.  IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Leigh Ann and Jason’s backgroundJason is the one who suggested homeschooling to Leigh AnnDoesn’t hurt to try homeschoolingIt is so nice spending time with your childrenThey don’t separate parenting from homeschoolingTheir grandfather would quiz the kids to test the effectiveness of homeschoolingTurning the tables, when your kids know more about subjects than youJason’s personal education experiences Compliments from others about how well behaved their kids are, testament to homeschooling kids socializing with people of all agesManaging time, allowing for flow, following the unschooling approachLearning is best done through experience, it is not like uploading Kungfu in the MatrixLow time preference mentality applied to homeschooling includes investing learning skills, e.g., reading, early“Living books”, aka Charlotte Mason method, learning history through historyThe power of choice, e.g., letting kids select subjects they want to learn deeplyOne of their favorites is “Vincent's Starry Night and Other Stories: A Children's History of Art” by Michael BirdSelf-custody of parenting means kids can explore topics outside of the limited state-dictated curriculumUltimate goal is to prepare kids for the adult worldAll of their kids are in BitcoinPower of analogy … Using the story of “The Super Banana” to explain Bitcoin to a 10 year oldTeach correct principles and let people govern themselves, let them verify for themselves and live themKids are worth more than Super Bananas (Bitcoin)Jason’s journey from outside-in (Bitcoin can save the world) to inside-out (the personal revolution)God’s hand guiding us along the wayHomeschooling is what you make itIt takes a lot of time investment to find good homeschooling resourcesLeigh Ann’s recommendations: “The Good and the Beautiful”, “Starfall”, and “I See Sam”Homeschooling allows parent-teachers to adjust programs 1-on-1 to adapt and fit individual learning styles of each child, contrast with the one-size-fits-all-approach public-school teachers have to use to teach classes of 20+ studentsStrengths, weaknesses and interests … the key is to listen to your kids, do not buy into institutional standards e.g., Common Core or No Child Left Behind (Jason calls the latter socialized education)Don’t replicate the system you pulled your kids out of, i.e., public schools, it will stress you outKids naturally want to learn, laziness is a mythRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:Jason’s twitter: @geekigaiJason’s Nostr: geekigai@nostrplebs.com or npub1693220pmp0a4c04a0p7hkz874vsxkyfrvtk2yk4zjyj3e4c0ugjs3r4j0c21Jason’s book “21 Questions: A Beginners Guide to Bitcoin”, https://a.co/d/0mcMtUCSatlantis, https://www.satlantis.io/placeBitcoin Chattanooga, https://www.meetup.com/bitcoin-chattanooga/Leigh Ann’s recommendations(1) Full Curriculum:  The Good and the Beautiful (goodandbeautiful.com)- K-8 Language Arts -
