Action4Canada - Parent Webinar

00:00:00.000 well welcome everyone thank you for joining us there's still a few people just signing on so

00:00:13.020 we'll wait till the room fills up a little bit here okay well with we're just gonna get right

00:00:24.160 into it this is going to be an amazing webinar today and thank you for joining us and we're

00:00:30.400 looking forward to hearing further from Wendy who was with us on the last homeschool parent meeting

00:00:36.280 I'm going to be starting today by bringing up the Action for Canada map of Canada to show you what

00:00:45.680 it is that we're accomplishing across the nation every single little maple leaf you see there

00:00:51.620 is an actual Action for Canada chapter and many of you may have heard me say this before and

00:00:58.080 repeatedly that we're building communities within communities of like-minded people and the reason

00:01:04.280 this is so important of course is because the power is and the strength is in the communities

00:01:09.460 the WEF and the UN know this they have said that municipalities and the trustees are closest to the

00:01:15.820 people and so in other words that they can initiate their devious and tyrannical plans and so the best

00:01:23.720 way to counter that of course is to build up our numbers within those towns and cities and just to

00:01:30.840 take them back and that's going to be numbers matter and so we're going to ask every single time I'm

00:01:37.100 speaking I'm asking people to join us across Canada to join this amazing coalition within if you scroll

00:01:43.540 down a little bit on this page you will see by province if you click on a province like British

00:01:48.700 Columbia for instance there are all of the chapters if you click on the link you can communicate directly

00:01:55.760 with that chapter and and get involved and so we have hundreds of people to vet right now and like I said

00:02:03.840 we plan on being in every town and community across this nation so expect those little dots to grow

00:02:09.700 all right it's really really um if we look at wars past and we are in a war we're not only in a war for the

00:02:17.860 hearts and minds of our children but we're in the war for the very existence of Canada as a free and

00:02:23.300 democratic nation so we need all hands on deck and if you're homeschooling please don't forget about those

00:02:29.240 parents that have to have their kids in the uh education system because they can't afford to or they just

00:02:35.560 don't have the wherewithal to homeschool by uh creating these communities we can bring those

00:02:42.520 types of parents and those children together we uh can help love on one another by supporting one another

00:02:48.760 and that's just a huge initiative that uh Action for Canada is taking on and we would welcome you I know

00:02:54.360 that we're going to uh you know launch this uh recording afterwards and to all of our viewers I hope

00:03:01.080 that you will share this video that you will join our rumble page because there's so many other uh

00:03:07.400 videos that are critical and important uh to what is going on in Canada right now so thank you for your

00:03:13.240 time and Doris I will hand it over to you good morning good morning it is morning here I'm in BC so

00:03:23.160 good afternoon for those of you eastward and uh it's exciting we're going to do a part two because

00:03:30.280 there's still so much to talk about about homeschooling and I will introduce our speaker shortly I am now

00:03:37.640 also going to share my screen and take you to our homeschooling page and uh this is our our front page

00:03:48.120 of Action for Canada so if you can see my mouse I'm at resources and open that up and scroll down

00:03:59.160 to parent webinars so here is where you can register you know you can share this with somebody who wants

00:04:08.760 to get information emails and so this is what we're doing here today if you scroll down here you can see

00:04:17.400 what we have covered in the last few weeks so last week we've got Wendy here and her compass community

00:04:26.600 learning center we talked about that there's a link there and then of course the HSLDA now you will see

00:04:33.880 that showing up regularly which is fantastic because when you go there it'll talk about the laws across

00:04:44.280 Canada homeschool laws it'll have um special speakers um how to uh get any legal protection if you need

00:04:54.680 that and then of course um this one here the homeschool conferences that one is really good um I'm going to go

00:05:02.440 back to that in a second because I just want to finish here this was our first one video here on homeschooling

00:05:08.440 how to get started and then we talked about with Peter Stock he's the president of HSLDA the Homeschool

00:05:15.000 Legal Defense Association and he was talking about homeschooling in general across Canada and then up

00:05:21.160 here was our first part one interview with Wendy so going back to these homeschool conferences I'm just

00:05:28.600 going to open that up um you will see that uh many have already just happened and on the left here is

00:05:38.440 the province and then it tells you the dates on the right now if you live in New Brunswick down here

00:05:45.640 yours is still coming June 2nd and 3rd and the one here in Ontario new and used curriculum fairs June 9th

00:05:54.200 if you're in the area I would highly recommend those those are great because if you're on a budget

00:05:59.080 and you've got your eye on certain curriculum you can buy them used and uh it's just a great way to

00:06:06.200 discover more curriculum and network you find your people um the other thing back to this page here

00:06:16.120 we'll go back up we'll go to our homeschooling page

00:06:19.400 and this link introduces you to my email as actually right here down below are more interviews and

00:06:32.040 conversations about education as a whole and homeschooling in Canada so have a look at that

00:06:39.800 at the top again if you really want to know about your province we have a directory set up

00:06:46.600 and this is great because if it says something like home education association that's your provincial

00:06:55.560 group um it says that for Manitoba and like New Brunswick says home educators of New Brunswick so

00:07:04.840 you want to tap into those I can't stress enough how important it is you need to tap into your

00:07:09.960 province because the laws are similar but different and you need to know exactly what you're allowed to

00:07:16.680 do in your province and you will find your support there and by talking to people they will help you

00:07:25.160 answer your questions and how either how to get started if you're stuck mid-year on something you

00:07:30.760 will find parents who think like you and share ideas and I always call them the the conversations in

00:07:37.480 the hallways that's where you really find um new friends also for yourself and your children so I think

00:07:46.360 I've covered what I wanted to do with um the website

00:07:55.240 there we go so Wendy Livingstone is uh has been my mentor she started homeschooling before me

00:08:03.240 and uh she's full of great information today we're going to cover subjects like uh teaching and

00:08:11.320 mastering curriculum while you're juggling kids now Wendy had seven kids and uh most of us had less I

00:08:18.440 only had three and if you got one two three four five or more you know it's all about time management

00:08:25.240 and juggling and how do you do that we're going to cover the the importance of schedules but being

00:08:29.880 flexible within the scheduling and uh how to solve the problem when a child's going now what do you

00:08:37.160 want me to do mom so I want to welcome Wendy and uh you just take over Wendy show us all your great

00:08:45.640 information and knowledge and wisdom thank you very much for having me back um I am not a professional

00:08:56.840 expert by any means and I want to say that I thank Doris so much for having me it helps to be your sister

00:09:03.800 in law um so she has me to draw on but there are so many um other homeschoolers ask questions one of the

00:09:13.880 first things I did when I was considering homeschooling was I asked a girlfriend can I come over in the

00:09:20.520 the morning and just watch you for half an hour and it was great I thought yeah I can do this I can do

00:09:27.400 this and it was fun so let me share my screen and I'll get started okay so homeschooling multiples

00:09:38.200 you are first and foremost a home and you're doing life together with your children you're not a school

00:09:45.800 strong marriages comfortable safe home and educating children is what you're concentrating on okay so

00:09:57.000 important google it check it out check something out from the library ask and borrow from a friend

00:10:05.480 ask a friend it it really helps so you want to join those support groups in your province there are

00:10:13.080 learning styles I googled it this morning awesome stuff uh unit studies with um Amanda Bennett there's

00:10:22.520 Charlotte Mason classical education books I just wanted to point that out um the only uh educate a

00:10:31.000 classical education book store is here in uh Abbotsford and you can get their their uh free shipping

00:10:41.080 programs if you get curriculum from them they are very helpful they'll help you with anything you're

00:10:47.880 you're looking for if you want to purchase books I highly recommend the used curriculum sales uh there's

00:10:56.760 homeschooling philosophies so I put Charlotte Mason there before I found this website and there's so much

00:11:05.480 more so just briefly what we're going to talk about is how to schedule there's tips on copy work lap books

00:11:15.080 well you can read it there we'll go over that I have that at the end too to see if I've missed anything

00:11:21.400 Ben sorry uh what uh Doris was saying I had put in Ontario's um Christian support organization

00:11:31.080 VCs um Alberta's um Alberta's there and like Doris has already said go to your province to find out your

00:11:39.560 laws excellent advice okay this is a brief overview of what I did last um last session and this is the

00:11:51.240 screen I didn't share so I thought I'd share it again today I highly recommend this book uh it's a program

00:11:59.720 that I used with all of my kids and they're there on this page she's got I think six kids there

00:12:09.400 mine went down to one okay move on so I'm going to show you a short video in a second

00:12:17.160 but how do you schedule doctors dentists sports practices ballet um community offers courses take

00:12:27.720 those courses write it down on your schedule you don't want to miss anything schedule in your field

00:12:34.280 trips and to be able to go with dad is really awesome we found that dad could take a Friday off

00:12:41.160 now and then more often than any other day of the week so we would schedule in field trips uh schedule in

00:12:49.720 anything you need to remember on this wall calendar and be sure to fit in time with your husband he's

00:12:57.240 the principal of your school you want a date night or just a coffee date and it doesn't have to cost

00:13:05.080 a lot of money so I'll stop sharing this one and I will share this one

00:13:13.880 so highlights of your life the idea that you would have a color for mom color for your kids

00:13:23.000 and a color for dad dad's important so we just can look at this and see on a wednesday that matt has work

00:13:36.040 daniel has soccer there's a birthday on the first pink is mom so I'm busy busy busy busy busy busy

00:13:44.280 and you can do two colors two items going on at the same time at night pink is me and david still has his

00:13:54.600 hockey this is my achsa meeting and david's hockey so he's yellow so for kids this visual helps them see

00:14:06.360 that if today is saturday daniel knows he's got soccer uh david knows he's got hockey matt's got to

00:14:15.160 get to work toy has got volleyball on tuesday nights emily's got piano she's got to practice for it's a

00:14:23.560 visual that helps the kids too and you can send dad to the calendar if you're on the phone and you send dad to

00:14:30.760 dad to the calendar and say are we free on the sixth well we got this and this happening we're free in here

00:14:38.120 okay let's do it

00:14:44.200 okay stop sharing that and i'll go back to my powerpoint there we go

00:14:52.680 oh okay so there that was the calendar then i also shared i think um last session this is

00:15:05.240 something that you can look at it's blank at the moment so the book suggests that you spend 15 minutes

00:15:14.760 a day and at the end of the week you've accomplished something and i found 15 minutes wasn't enough so

00:15:21.960 i've scheduled half an hour for things um and the importance of dad i want to show you just in here

00:15:31.080 we would schedule in the time to honor dad clean up the house make a path from the front door to the

00:15:39.080 chesterfield so that the kids could spend some quality time with dad and then from there they

00:15:46.440 could go and show him their projects instead of having everything all over the house we cleaned a path

00:15:54.600 to let dad be honored now i'm just going to zip through this

00:16:00.360 for me and my household we mostly just did mornings that was kind of a rigid schedule

00:16:06.920 not rigid very flexible actually but but like doris was saying if the kids say well what am i doing

00:16:14.600 next mom that's where the schedule can come in handy so i colored in you're going to do breakfast and lunch

00:16:22.440 the kids are going to start some of their chores ahead of breakfast then i added their colors and i'll show

00:16:29.640 you how this comes into play um there they are um so at 8 30 we leave the breakfast table and all of us together

00:16:40.360 do bible study devotions current affairs we follow rabbit trails and um and then we move on to

00:16:50.440 number two um number one child is doing chores and possibly getting ready for math

00:16:58.760 that's the kid that probably uh filled the dishwasher and the others probably cleared the table there

00:17:06.120 um and here so mom is sharing time i could have written in number two and number three

00:17:13.720 and here's where mom is so i'm setting the littles up to get ready for

00:17:20.600 what their plan is for the day then i concentrate on number one child i've written in math it can be

00:17:30.040 anything you've got a half an hour and you'll be surprised how much you can actually accomplish

00:17:35.480 in a half an hour one-on-one with that child because these two are playing together

00:17:41.640 now i say play you've got educational puzzles and games and they can do flash cards

00:17:50.280 with each other and you'd be surprised how much um creativity goes on with lego together then just

00:17:58.840 we're saying at 10 o'clock we take a break from everything we're doing to do a unit study and i think

00:18:05.560 we've got um some ideas on a unit study but there that's pulling everybody back together at 10

00:18:13.240 to all accomplish something together then i i'm going to schedule in time with each individual child

00:18:23.160 so mom's with the youngest here and these two are working together um doing oh well i've got printing

00:18:32.440 here it can be anything they're that that number one oldest child older child can do flash cards or

00:18:40.840 puzzles there's lots of math games they they can do then there's mom getting in some one-on-one time

00:18:51.720 with number two child um and these guys can do if if number one is your older child and number three

00:19:00.360 is the youngest of numbers puzzles with um numbers uh the alphabet anything then i

00:19:10.920 what did i just fill in something went different oh i think i put in um devotional chime this is

00:19:17.480 where you can accomplish something before the schedule begins then after lunch i've got this was very important

00:19:28.360 to me naps and quiet time and lunch cleanup i put the the babe on my hand and laid down with him

00:19:38.360 when i felt his head get heavy and he was asleep i could remove my hand and have a nap or run off and

00:19:46.680 do chores but i usually had a nap and i found that 20 minutes could refresh me for the rest of the day

00:19:55.000 then i just wanted to show you the afternoon this is where if you use your brain power to to do this schedule

00:20:03.800 once every day from there on you don't have to think about it if it's 1 30 and number two child

00:20:12.120 comes and says do i get screen time well no number one has screen time you have it at two and number

00:20:19.480 three child has it at 2 30 you've put the thought into that and it's on a schedule it helps you and the

00:20:27.720 child then there's piano you can fit in now i've written homework my tip on homework is anything that

00:20:35.880 you had scheduled for the kids ahead of this so i've got printing and language arts and math

00:20:45.160 and i used to say uh accomplished two or three pages um and if that was important that they finish

00:20:55.560 that many pages we called it homework so they've got lots of time in here before dinner um that you

00:21:03.320 could fit in so i've got mom supervising that that also gives you one on one time with some of these

00:21:11.320 kids you're supervising the piano practice or or the lessons um you can keep an eye on the screen time

00:21:20.280 uh plan to go to the library or go grocery shopping when this number one child gets to be about 12 years

00:21:29.240 old 10 to 12 in bc they can watch the kids for a little while so you can go to the grocery store

00:21:35.880 then this is where i said um i'm i'm prepping dinner

00:21:41.320 and the kids are cleaning up the living room for dad and i've scheduled in here this is actually an

00:21:47.800 hour because it goes to seven conversations with dad at the table were really important and then

00:21:57.240 after dinner you can schedule in or you'll have on your schedule sports if they're going if you have

00:22:05.400 to go to a practice or a game and then i put in here some time with dad now it doesn't have to be

00:22:11.880 a full half hour it's just the way the schedule looks here but dad puts number three to bed number

00:22:17.960 two to bed and then number one goes to bed and it doesn't have to be this late you could be putting 15

00:22:24.280 minutes would give give the child one-on-one time with dad as he reads them a story praise with them is

00:22:33.960 very important and then you really really want to have mom and dad time and meet with the principal um

00:22:43.800 we we enjoyed the hot tub some don't have a hot tub but we made a point of not having phones no tv

00:22:52.280 no screens no computer and usually no um interruptions and we just needed that time to

00:23:01.880 download so that's just a quick overview copywork we we use the bible for copywork sorry i'm here on

00:23:10.920 let's talk about uh jump in doris if you want to stop me at all uh we use the bible and we used uh

00:23:19.720 verses the kids would do copywork stay within the lines um make sure that their circles are circles

00:23:27.880 and their sticks are sticks and it really does help when you look at a printing book so that they're

00:23:36.280 making their n a stick and a hump i've seen homeschool kids filling in their name and they do their n

00:23:45.240 backwards or their and not that it's a bad thing but it's great if they are uh able to do their letters

00:23:55.400 quickly and um neatly very very great lap books if you go um online google it oh my goodness uh all of

00:24:08.440 these free things don't think that you have to produce a lap book every week when you see it it

00:24:17.320 looks exciting one a year would be great in my experience so you've got your educational puzzles and

00:24:26.120 games flash cards for for mastery so you've got uh one plus one you've got your times tables division and

00:24:35.480 and subtraction flash cards there's also the flash cards where you do the common words so the littles

00:24:43.480 are actually learning and i wouldn't say sight words although they do become many of them become

00:24:49.480 sight words but they can sound them out as as an older child or you get to flash a card to these

00:24:56.440 little people uh lego never underestimate the creativity creative geniuses in your home quick

00:25:05.640 story i'd be reading a book i'd have most of the kids would sit at the table and some of them would

00:25:11.480 look like this and they were half asleep my one son wanted to be playing lego he was under the table

00:25:19.320 doing the lego while i read i let him do that it it kept his mind or his hands um busy while his mind

00:25:28.680 was absorbing the book because when i would ask the kids a question the answer usually came from under

00:25:35.560 the table so don't hesitate to let them doodle and play while you read it's it's it's okay i want to

00:25:45.080 just add to that wendy yeah um i when i when i was reading to my kids and they were my well my baby

00:25:53.400 would have been one maybe having a nap my oldest was snuggled in my beside me and my middle was

00:26:00.920 twirling and dancing in the living room and i was told let them wiggle and move if they're not ready to

00:26:08.760 sit they will one day and so the way you test for comprehension is after the story you you see how

00:26:16.040 they're doing and what they can answer the question like your little one did under the table and she

00:26:21.320 nailed it every time and you know what a couple years later she was sitting down snuggled on the couch

00:26:26.520 beside me listening in so it's all about their maturity at their own rate and the other thing i a couple

00:26:35.240 more things i wanted to add about um the living room and and uh having a place um for dad when he

00:26:43.480 walks in the door um so my husband was a shift worker and uh so sometimes the living room was used

00:26:52.360 to make a tent the kids would set up a big tent and they wanted to keep it overnight and i did i let

00:26:58.360 them do that but the general rule was i needed one place even for my own sanity one room in the house

00:27:04.840 that wasn't full of toys that we all stepped on and that when anybody walked in the door they knew

00:27:10.680 they could find a chair to sit down on and so for me it was also the living room and uh so it's it's

00:27:16.760 about dad but it's also about us because we do better when there is some order and and uh tidiness in the

00:27:26.440 home and the other thing i wanted to say about uh kids is usually by the time they're about grade six

00:27:32.760 or grade seven now these are kids who have maybe been homeschooled over a while they are very self-directed

00:27:38.600 and um they could look at a schedule and go okay i know how to do this now probably by grade seven

00:27:46.120 and they hunker down they do their work so that's that's good to know and if you're pulling your kid

00:27:52.360 at grade six and grade seven give it a year they just need to know how to adapt to the new family structure

00:27:58.760 and it'll come just wanted to add that wendy go ahead excellent excellent okay um a chore schedule

00:28:09.000 another quick tip if you've designated colors for your kids which is fun because you can use

00:28:15.080 highlighters um i bought towels and face cloths and you'd know who had left what on the bathroom floor

00:28:24.840 by the color i also scheduled in one day a week for each child to do their laundry i usually supervise

00:28:34.920 the laundry but at least on the day i'd know i'd get all of one of the children's clothes done um and

00:28:44.120 they could sort them for me they could help and i'd give them a basket of warm clothes and they'd go and

00:28:51.000 fold them and put them away on their day so that i scheduled that one day a week for that one child

00:28:58.440 to help me with laundry if you let the laundry go and you try to do it all in one day it can get quite

00:29:06.920 burdensome so i scheduled um one day a week for things and quite often had a couple of days off

00:29:16.360 of the laundry from laundry okay so i gave you my homework tip uh anything they didn't finish in the

00:29:24.280 day any project you're working on you saw the afternoon schedule it's it's free there's there's

00:29:31.640 lots of time to get a project finished and make it fun um i'd hate to have a project that we say we have to

00:29:41.080 have it finished by such and such a date at such and such a time it makes it um it puts a little

00:29:48.200 pressure on you and the kids and can sometimes detract from the enjoyment of what you're doing

00:29:56.280 okay we're going to do university and beyond but i think okay i did i do have a couple more slides

00:30:03.720 so i was talking about i think i called it brain mapping web thinking something like that but this

00:30:10.040 is the example of of what i what i was talking about you have your idea in the middle and from

00:30:16.440 that idea you expand frogs in the pond their life cycle um and this is what i was talking about so you

00:30:27.160 can do that with any idea any idea at all and it helps you find the library books if you've got this

00:30:37.240 up on your whiteboard your blackboard or in their daily binder um write down beside it the books you're

00:30:45.640 looking for from the library mom usually has the the advanced adult books and the kids can have

00:30:53.400 anything they find in the library it's excellent blank page is that all i have maybe

00:31:00.120 that might be that might be it so did i stop sharing i think i think that's all i had

00:31:11.880 um i'll just say a little bit about the mason approach that you had brought up

00:31:16.840 um for me that was a lifesaver um in the very earliest years like kindergarten grade one and grade two

00:31:23.400 um they're learning their letters but they don't know how to print so when you ask a child write a

00:31:30.360 sentence about anything they don't know how and i remember i remember this going back to my life

00:31:37.000 so what's the charlotte mason approach is uh copy work and so they see a poem four lines and they copy it

00:31:46.440 so what they're learning is how to read how to print something out and then read it and then oftentimes

00:31:54.920 if it was a poem they could memorize it and so it's training the brain to do memory work as well

00:32:01.240 and there's nothing wrong with copy work it's not like you're copying or a test or copying somebody

00:32:08.120 beside your desk and just quickly filling in the answers because the teacher wants you to do that

00:32:12.440 it's actually reading good sentences and rich literature and copying it and then at the end

00:32:21.240 you have this little booklet and you can make story booklets too and then as they get older

00:32:28.120 um you could uh do three pages of something draw a picture at the top staple the sides and then you've

00:32:36.600 got a book to show for it and then year after year as you progress and you learn um you don't need to

00:32:42.760 copy anymore by the time you're in grade five you are doing like more assignment type things or through

00:32:49.640 the unit studies you're fulfilling your english requirements and you're fulfilling some science

00:32:54.920 and some social studies you cover a lot of areas with unit studies and Wendy and i were talking

00:33:00.760 about this and one of the things i think we both did was we had this big binder and we collected

00:33:05.640 all their uh written work and um things that were meaningful that would matter if somebody from

00:33:13.240 the ministry of education came to your door and said well what are you doing and we have this binder

00:33:19.720 full of good stuff plus their mouth on the side of of their whole year all put punched hole punched

00:33:28.440 and put into a binder and the kids love it it's like they go wow i did all that and it shows you like

00:33:34.120 you actually did something because sometimes you wonder did we even cover anything and you you can

00:33:40.600 see in hindsight if you save thing you don't just save everything but save the good stuff it it actually

00:33:46.280 is rich and very very uh rewarding to the child as well okay one of the questions was how do you actually teach

00:33:58.680 how do you teach and what you teach and what i did was i get a book whatever book it was that i was

00:34:05.400 interested in this might be backwards to you wholehearted child by uh clay and sally clarkson

00:34:14.280 and i've got it labeled and usually i have a space where i can open it up

00:34:20.520 and leave it on my desk and i move to the next thing another thing that's in the library so i

00:34:28.760 found this really helpful were all of these books and they go from kindergarten to grade six what your

00:34:37.480 kindergartner needs to know and it is so full of suggestions of things they can cover

00:34:45.880 if you covered half of this stuff your kids are going to get a great education so grade one grade

00:34:54.600 two and like i say right up to grade six so i wanted to show you that but the thing was i found those in

00:35:00.760 the library and uh that was helpful okay well i i will answer questions i guess because that's as far as i

00:35:12.280 got for my formal presentation is that okay all right um

00:35:26.920 some people asked me um what was the most valuable tool that i had in my household to purchase and i think

00:35:36.760 a photocopier would have been my number one purchase a photocopier scanner printer i think i think they

00:35:45.400 make those um when i found a page in a free book from the library i could photocopy it and make copies

00:35:53.400 for the kids sometimes that was really helpful um i'm sorry i didn't check out the the chat yeah there's a

00:36:03.240 question in the chat about how do you deal with a non-compliant child uh my son seems to do whatever

00:36:10.520 his teacher told him to but now that not what it comes from mom so mike i have questions about is the

00:36:18.200 child now home homeschooling and uh it takes a year if they're coming out of schools um it takes a good year

00:36:27.880 and the longer they've been in school it might even take two years and not to feel overwhelmed and

00:36:36.280 going i don't know if i can handle a year even a year of what i'm going through but the child's been

00:36:41.720 so used to the system and you know groups of 15 to 30 kids and and everybody line up and everybody um

00:36:50.520 uh we're all going to go outside and that takes another 10 to 15 minutes so a lot of time gets

00:36:57.720 used with large groups and then um as the child gets older they're so used to spending so much time

00:37:05.000 with that one teacher more time in the classroom than they are at home with the parent so now it's

00:37:10.440 getting reversed and now they're spending more time with the child my i would encourage you to just

00:37:16.200 continue uh being a parent being fully engaged um look them straight in the face at sometimes like

00:37:23.800 look at them and just fully engage in them it will come and uh they need to know you're the teacher

00:37:33.320 you're in charge you're the parent um there's got to be a lot of grace and all of that as well

00:37:40.280 find the people in in in your homeschool network who can encourage you and help you

00:37:46.920 and uh if there is a husband in life bring him into the picture all right uh so if there is i know

00:37:56.200 that um some people had a question as well regarding how their child will progress to university or

00:38:05.080 college how does this cross over right so if we could maybe uh address that question right now that

00:38:10.840 would be fabulous okay can i start i'll start there my girlfriend homeschooled and she said as

00:38:18.520 early as grade nine you can put your child enroll them in a course at your local university or college

00:38:27.560 college community college and get that under their belt when they have that as a credit for their grade

00:38:36.600 nine ten eleven or twelve wherever you start them or continue them through those grades they will have

00:38:44.280 that on their um in their portfolio but then they have a record of having been to the university when

00:38:53.160 they finish school and want to enroll full-time in the university um they have a record there

00:39:01.000 and that seems to be a really easy transition to get the kids into university the girlfriend that i

00:39:08.680 talked to that told me that's how she got her two sons into university she also said that they had

00:39:16.920 experience with writing an sat or a cat sometimes that's just for the united states but there is online

00:39:26.520 united states university courses that your children can uh apply for and be qualified to take there's

00:39:37.480 online universities so that is also a way to higher education now i also don't want to leave out the

00:39:44.840 trades because it would seem that we have a shortage of some of the trades people um your children can

00:39:54.120 as mine did have a job they were 14 and 15 years old we did our school in the time that they were home

00:40:02.600 but they also took part-time shifts and they were um getting qualified for many different things

00:40:10.920 and that is a really great way into a trade they will have to take university courses for their trades

00:40:20.120 a lot of them but when they have the knowledge behind them they can start those trade schools

00:40:27.560 younger at a younger age because of the experience they've gathered i want to just speak to that uh how do

00:40:36.120 you how do you how do you get your child to not keep quoting their teacher and understand that mom

00:40:44.200 is in this for them and how to get them to comply and not a trick but a tip if i could organize a field trip

00:40:57.640 somewhere oh it might be an interest that the child has we could start there however i'm going to say

00:41:05.160 in two weeks we're going to go on this field trip so let's hunker down do the research and find out

00:41:12.120 everything we can about the field trip we're going to here in bc we've got fort langley is the museum

00:41:21.240 museum and that was canadian history so we could take books out um i think there's a place uh in one

00:41:31.000 of the libraries that even has a bin with um clothing and antique things that you can check out of the

00:41:39.800 library and it's all part of what you're going to do at the in the field trip so it's not a bribe it is

00:41:49.480 exciting them this is what we're learning at home this is the culmination of all of our research and fun

00:41:59.000 and and you can have them printing and writing and drawing pictures of history then you go to fort

00:42:07.480 langley together now that's a really bonding trip for you and your children um you will see the same

00:42:14.840 things and experience them together and that is very valuable and that is actually one of the ways that i

00:42:25.560 got my kids excited to learn they they were going to go on a field trip we did the fish fish hatchery

00:42:33.080 we did um the bird sanctuary we've been down to the vso and what that entailed was the kids learned

00:42:42.840 the vancouver symphony orchestra will send you out a teacher's guide and you can print off pages you can

00:42:50.520 study the instruments um the conductor the uh the fellow that wrote the the piece um the bach and and

00:43:04.280 things um then what we did on that special day we took the sky train down it actually the last time

00:43:12.760 we went i took my two grandchildren who had never been and we took grandpa with us so the four of us

00:43:20.360 went down we had quite an experience field trips are a wonderful bribe if that's what you want to call

00:43:28.440 them but it's educational and i didn't let the kids just sit on the sky train and well i certainly never

00:43:37.160 had a screen time we looked out the window we checked things out we i am always very excited i i know that's

00:43:47.240 not everybody's personality but the kids learned to learn and be excited because i was always excited

00:43:55.080 everything was an adventure um a home school experience is going to the grocery store and

00:44:02.120 getting a pomegranate who's ever seen a pomegranate and we take it home and that was our home school

00:44:09.000 experience for the day just an idea sorry i see that really great tips um i was just going to continue

00:44:17.880 on a little bit more about the whole university thing i know that that weighs heavy on a lot of

00:44:22.760 uh parents and um i was talking to my oldest daughter about this because she um went to

00:44:29.080 university and uh and i talked to my sister about it too because she homeschooled her kids in ontario

00:44:36.200 and uh we both agreed you really need to be plugged into your local uh provincial homeschool association to

00:44:43.400 understand um what the credentials are whether it's university or a trade school and that doesn't

00:44:49.720 necessarily mean they're going to be going to a school in their own province so like my my um

00:44:55.880 sister's kids ended up going to trinity western university in british columbia and but what we did

00:45:01.880 notice in our conversation was there are some core um foundational subjects and it could be six it could be four

00:45:12.120 but it would be like um it's always english 12 um a math 11 and then in bc it would be another high

00:45:21.560 academic uh grade 12 so history 12 would be something i would have chosen um and then some electives and

00:45:29.480 again you need to know what the requirement of the school is and a lot of universities love having

00:45:36.440 homeschooled kids and they have a homeschool department and they will have a contact person

00:45:42.200 there and they've they've seen homeschool kids now for 25 years so they're familiar with answering

00:45:49.080 questions and so i would contact the different schools that you're looking at and ask them what

00:45:55.320 their requirement is so going back to my daughter she took six courses at the local college here

00:46:02.920 and wanted to transfer into ubco and she didn't have enough uh just courses her grades were good

00:46:12.200 but she needed more courses so she wrote them a letter and told them why they need her and they went

00:46:18.760 oh what a great idea we want this this kid so she got in and she was able to make up those classes

00:46:25.320 at the university and so there is that element as well um

00:46:32.920 you can also do gap years so if your child takes a year off and they're traveling or they're going to

00:46:39.240 go to baba college or just do something else um they can go in with less requirements when they're a

00:46:46.040 little older um into a post-secondary they can take night classes um we all know students who end up

00:46:55.320 having to redo math or english to get into um a certain program my nephew wanted to get into um

00:47:05.560 well what do you call it anyways a program at uvic and he needed to take a year and upgrade

00:47:10.680 and this is coming out of public school and he was a good student but he still needed to upgrade so

00:47:15.800 these are things you can actually watch for even earlier on so if they're are if they're bent

00:47:22.520 towards doing a trade and you know that's they're they're going to be just that's it they want

00:47:27.400 mechanics and they're going to go down that road why not already start a college course when they're 17

00:47:34.280 you can do that you're allowed to do that they'll take kids at 17 and do some electives on the side

00:47:39.960 and start building what we call a portfolio and uh i know kids who never got a trans unofficial transcript

00:47:48.280 but they had a beautiful portfolio of everything they've gathered um in their homeschool life

00:47:54.920 so good grades helps but it's not always the best the only way because it's who they are and what they

00:48:01.160 become at the end of their education in bc grade 10 11 12 we call it the grad year these are the most

00:48:09.640 important years to focus on everything else before that is just helping them uh become better writers

00:48:18.040 uh strong thinkers um good good at math generally good at math and you talk about money and they're all in

00:48:27.000 so you know we always talked about well how does this relate to you know your bank account and and uh um

00:48:35.320 you know if you had a job and you were setting goals for yourself and so that's how you can

00:48:40.680 incorporate math if they don't like math um they can also students can also start at the college

00:48:48.440 and uh do one year two years and then transferring to university if that's their destination

00:48:54.600 sometimes college is a better start it's not so overwhelming and not as demanding so that's something to

00:49:01.000 consider um and i guess the other thing is

00:49:09.640 they need us these schools run on money as well and they need students as well so uh your child if

00:49:19.320 they're motivated and you give them some guidance and by grade nine um they can get there and if they

00:49:28.280 need an extra year that's okay you know we don't have to fit exactly in this formula going back to my

00:49:36.120 nephew he was public school and my brother and his wife purposely held him back at kindergarten because

00:49:43.960 he was a november kid and so they waited another year for him to be more emotionally mature and then

00:49:50.840 he excelled all through school so he was one year older than his peers but he graduated strong so these

00:49:58.200 are little things to think about it and it's okay it's always okay um we also know people who

00:50:05.640 go get a job for five years six seven years my son-in-law is one of them he went and he was in

00:50:13.160 the military for several years and then after he got married then he went and got a degree

00:50:18.920 you know so we don't know what our kids are going to do but we do want to prepare them to be their best

00:50:23.480 when they leave the home and there's lots of things lots of tools again plug into your

00:50:29.240 support group one of the questions i see coming through is how do i homeschool as a single mom

00:50:38.200 when do you want to try to tackle that

00:50:42.200 oh you're on mute

00:50:48.520 okay we had a single mom she was an emergency room nurse and she worked the midnight or the graveyard shift

00:50:57.320 and she came home and slept while her sister and her mom looked after her older kids and they had

00:51:06.280 their homework to do while she was sleeping then when she got up in the early afternoon they did school

00:51:15.080 together so that's how she tackled it i don't know that she ever got enough sleep but she had help

00:51:23.400 um the working parents a lot of working parents can uh juggle children in that they will have mom will

00:51:34.280 work monday wednesday and uh dad can be home some of the time or they juggle between uh their own siblings

00:51:46.040 someone they know that can watch the kids for a little while um in the day while mom's at work

00:51:53.000 um oh sorry i'm thinking moms and dads you're right single moms it's hard it's very hard sometimes they

00:52:01.480 can work from home and um then they have have to have their kids uh very well occupied while they're

00:52:10.280 at home it is tough but it can be done there there have been moms that have successfully homeschooled

00:52:19.000 and juggled maybe not a full-time job but uh definitely a lot of hours in a part-time job

00:52:26.920 i think and i was thinking the compass school could also be in that region a solution to a single mom

00:52:36.680 you want to just talk a little bit about that okay yes so we've started up an umbrella

00:52:43.640 organization called compass community learning centers it's a group three independent school

00:52:51.480 in bc i don't know what the rules are for other provinces but our whole goal was to become a

00:52:59.720 ministry and if the church someone's church can embrace this idea that kids really need to be pulled

00:53:09.720 out of public school and be and get a really great christian education they would partner with us

00:53:17.480 us and uh give us their space four or five days a week and we we would run the school for them

00:53:26.440 so that it doesn't become an extra burden on the pastor and the the church board we would have a parent

00:53:35.160 advisory board from the church if if their children are involved especially um and then we can run a

00:53:43.320 school so in an independent school in bc needs a minimum of 10 children to be a school but we can

00:53:51.480 do the paperwork now that we have our second school up and running we have the experience of putting the

00:53:58.600 paperwork together we have two certified schools operating out of churches now and it can be done so if

00:54:08.280 you have a group of like-minded people even in your church you could ask your church to give you the

00:54:17.160 uh a couple of classrooms and uh a coffee room for the teachers the other thing with a group three

00:54:24.360 independent school here in bc is that you're flexible with who you hire to be the teachers

00:54:30.520 um we've got some uh teachers from the christian schools that chose to leave the christian school

00:54:41.080 because it was getting compromised with the indoctrinational um curriculum being served up

00:54:47.960 there so we have teachers uh christian teachers we can also hire homeschool moms they've got so much

00:54:56.680 experience they can help us be teachers we also have volunteers from the church from the community and

00:55:04.680 they put in uh time as volunteer teachers their teacher assistance learning assistance so um

00:55:14.440 it's it's an option now there are a lot of pastors that that know that this is important

00:55:22.040 and they they are overwhelmed with thinking of how in the world would they put together a school

00:55:30.120 and we want to assure um these churches that actually we can put this together for them we we

00:55:39.080 have the know-how now to put together a school their church would just uh donate or give us really

00:55:46.840 really really um inexpensive rent to make it feasible for single parents to uh be able to afford

00:55:56.360 this kind of school what we have been doing is the tuition that we charge minimal tuition that we charge

00:56:04.200 is what pays the teachers the uh executive director and myself the administrative director

00:56:11.080 don't take any funds from this we we put on fundraisers we have other um people in the church

00:56:19.240 that embrace this philosophy this ministry to the the next generation we want to have christian

00:56:28.520 education affordable for the families there's other members of the church that that um donate money

00:56:36.760 regularly on a monthly basis so that we can have some of the families that can't afford the full tuition

00:56:46.840 um they they are supported they get subsidized from the donations that come in so this is

00:56:55.400 this oh we we see this ministry going across the country christians have to realize that the kids

00:57:04.040 going into public school um they are not equipped they don't have the foundation to be a light it's like

00:57:12.920 putting it's like one rotten apple in a barrel of apples they all go rotten um we want to keep our our

00:57:22.760 christian kids um having their christian education home is awesome a christian school

00:57:30.760 uh well one of our independent schools uh well one of our independent schools would be uh the safest

00:57:38.120 place my father used to say you're just sheltering your kids and i would go on the defensive and say

00:57:45.160 but but and then i thought you know what i am i will shelter them and keep them innocent as long as i can

00:57:54.120 they live in the world it all comes flooding in but right now

00:57:59.160 we want to give them the christian foundation and a loving home um first

00:58:11.320 okay well thank you uh wendy for that and what compass is doing is amazing i know i think is it two or three

00:58:17.560 um churches have launched this program already right and for those of you who weren't on at the

00:58:24.680 beginning i just again want to show you action for canada's map and uh just get a look at this

00:58:31.320 is that building of communities this is what wendy's talking about so we take these ideas and we put them

00:58:37.160 into the communities we also uh every alternating week pretty much the first and third week of the

00:58:43.640 month we have a past pastor webinar and within these chapters they have teams that are going

00:58:50.440 out to pastors within their community uh speaking with them and asking them if they would consider

00:58:56.600 opening up their facility one to support an action for canada chapter so we have a place to gather

00:59:02.440 the people in the community and then secondly to open up their space to teaching and in nova scotia

00:59:10.680 we have a pastor that used to have churches open and now he's looking at doing this again in ontario

00:59:17.640 in in durham and other districts we have pastors who are their eyes are opening up to all of this and

00:59:22.920 realizing it is not a safe place to have children in the uh public education system nor in as wendy

00:59:30.440 had mentioned even in the independence because the government is uh there's always lgbtq uh lobbyists

00:59:39.000 who are working uh at the government constantly saying you need to include us you need to include

00:59:44.360 us in all of your curriculum and everything you're doing in your learning resources and so now what

00:59:49.400 they're doing is making incentives for private schools and then they're appealing to them that they

00:59:55.320 should make what's called an accommodation and that comet accommodation is is that foothold into a school

01:00:04.280 so they come in saying oh you know that you should be accommodating you know it's biblical uh

01:00:09.400 again we know that we have uh action for canada serves both christian and non-christian uh citizens

01:00:15.640 but we do believe that this is a battle against good and evil we know that this agenda within the

01:00:20.680 schools is is evil because it's harming kids so anything that's harming somebody is evil so we believe in

01:00:26.920 evil and uh once they get that foothold in then they start pushing uh for bringing in the books and

01:00:33.800 the resources and next thing you know the private schools are done as well and so we're trying to

01:00:39.960 look at this as we motivate parents and citizens because taxpayers you could be a grandparent you

01:00:46.840 could have no children at all but have nieces and nephews you should be involved in this you're

01:00:51.640 paying the taxes that are completely financing uh this whole lgbtq agenda and we're not talking about

01:01:00.760 the gay and lesbian community we're talking about the radical sex activists uh who want to have access

01:01:06.120 to our kids and multi millions of dollars our tax dollars is funding all of this it's got to stop and

01:01:16.200 the one thing that we can do is try to uh help facilitate that by motivating parents to pull

01:01:23.880 their children out of school and then they lose funding in ontario it's something like thirteen

01:01:29.480 thousand dollars per head for child and a principal will not get paid next thing you know they've got

01:01:35.640 to lay off teachers next thing you know they can't pay the uh electrical bill and and so this is part of

01:01:42.200 the reason why we feel it is very very important to make sure that parents have all of the support

01:01:48.200 that we can possibly provide to homeschool and if you are a single parent uh that is one of the

01:01:55.320 most uh you know devastating feelings of feeling helpless hearing all of what's going on in the

01:02:01.640 schools and and and saying you know having these warnings to pull your child out and not knowing how

01:02:06.760 to do that and so i encourage you get involved with an action for canada chapter and uh whether there

01:02:13.640 is a church that's opened up their doors or not you may be able to connect with several other parents

01:02:19.080 and you could alternate take taking days off and on your day you teach the kids something that is a

01:02:27.160 strength that you have to offer it could be when we were talking about what to do uh you know with with

01:02:34.920 children with homeschooling one of the things i i would say that was a um i i appreciated that the

01:02:40.440 public school did is they had uh several weeks where kids had to do work experience and so companies

01:02:49.160 businesses would sign up to this program kids would actually you know get paid some money to do it

01:02:56.680 and my daughter had ended up she loved animals like she'd quiver in the in the uh stroller you know

01:03:04.440 when we were walking somewhere and she saw an animal so her her strength and her love for animals

01:03:09.240 was very very strong so no surprise she wanted to work in a vet clinic so she spent her time just

01:03:15.080 scrubbing and cleaning and taking care of things not even really having a lot of uh contact with

01:03:21.880 animals sometimes taking them out the ones that had surgery but then it moved into once she had three

01:03:27.640 months worth of earnings she was also going and doing a volunteer work for a thoroughbred organization

01:03:36.440 where it was thoroughbreds that had been abused and there was young one very young mare who had never

01:03:42.920 been raised and amy my daughter ended up getting very endeared to this horse well after the three

01:03:49.160 months of working she actually had money to pay for that horse and she ended up perching that horse and

01:03:54.440 the motivation to work part-time this was in grade 10 from there on was her motivation because she

01:04:01.320 wanted this horse and and so there's certain things you will see as strengths within your kids nurture

01:04:07.240 that and and see what direction you know that that takes them anyways that's just my little bit about

01:04:13.720 encouraging you know the single moms and saying anything is doable and just as a reminder you may send your

01:04:20.760 kids to school for six and a half hours a day but you can do more in an hour and a half than they

01:04:25.560 could ever achieve in six and a half hours at school uh correct me wendy or doris if i'm wrong

01:04:32.760 no you're right you're absolutely right and that's actually why my schedule just shows the morning was full

01:04:39.160 and uh we we did get it a lot of the schoolwork done um i wanted to talk about public school tanya you

01:04:48.360 mentioned it uh the lgbtq are saying include me include me and they've got activists in there um the

01:04:55.720 the percentage of these kids are small and it's the christian kids that are actually being excluded

01:05:04.840 and bullied and um and we don't have activists going into the public school system to advocate for our

01:05:16.360 christian kids that are are are a my possibly a minority so the um the only not the only thing

01:05:26.360 you can do is pull them out and keep them home the other thing though that we have had parents do is

01:05:33.880 equip them with their cell phone and have them take pictures of the things that are radical in their

01:05:40.120 public school and report it report it to their parents if their parents are are active um it becomes

01:05:49.480 a log of the evils that are going on and we can expose some of this stuff it all is beneficial so

01:05:57.480 you can pull your pull your child into the circle and say that they're they are valuable if a teacher says

01:06:05.800 they want to take their phone you you train them to say this phone was given to me by my parents you'd

01:06:13.320 have to talk to my parents if you're going to take the phone now i realize that there are teachers that

01:06:18.120 have kids that are are on their phones it's it's not that your your activist child would have their phone

01:06:26.760 tucked away tucked away and use it for uh recording um recording some of the teaching we've heard from

01:06:37.560 kids that say oh uh we had such and such a class oh wait a minute i'm not supposed to tell you that

01:06:44.360 the teacher said not to tell you yeah so in the higher grades these older kids can record something like

01:06:53.560 that and um and take pictures it's that's a tip if you thank you thank you for that wendy and um i just

01:07:04.760 want to let you know when you said there's nobody advocating for the christians um action for canada

01:07:10.280 is actually doing a tremendous amount of work in uh with our notice of liability against the soji one

01:07:16.040 two three the gsa's we are full on going to the school boards uh we are collecting evidence like you

01:07:22.680 say why that is good to say that publicly a lot of the school boards are saying no harm is being

01:07:28.440 done here so we need evidence so we absolutely would encourage you to have your kids i've got

01:07:33.880 photos of uh school boards in english class where it's all things with this uh radical trans agenda

01:07:40.360 and sexualizing children and i just helped um one of my chapter leaders yesterday write a letter

01:07:47.000 because on the agenda for the homeschool item uh sorry for the uh school board meeting this coming

01:07:53.560 week is to uh approve june as pride month and so we have uh now written a response and we're going to

01:08:03.320 use this as a template letter for uh it will go nationwide for all of our chapter leaders and

01:08:08.840 canadians to use it because we get one month to celebrate can sorry one day to celebrate canada day

01:08:14.680 we get one day to celebrate our uh veterans one day to celebrate jesus and you want a whole month and

01:08:22.360 so we've got to bring things back into perspective and that it would be reasonable to amend this to

01:08:29.720 one day further according to supreme court rulings there is the state of uh neutrality which means that

01:08:38.200 public spaces must be neutral which means that the school's hallways and classrooms must be

01:08:44.040 politically neutral and so we're pushing to um we're moving forward to get all of this propaganda

01:08:50.920 removed from the hallways because kids are inundated with it all day we're inundated with the public

01:08:56.520 and the uh letter that as well was uh launched a couple of weeks ago to ban all non-governmental uh

01:09:04.440 political and uh what is it uh special interest group flags that also should be delivered to the police

01:09:13.400 the police are to be politically neutral so having a flag on anything uh is not permitted all right

01:09:19.480 that's a political statement so lots of work is being done there for the encouragement uh like i say

01:09:25.800 we want to try to get as many kids on mass out of the public school systems while we continue to fight

01:09:31.640 to get this uh tyranny overturned within there all right so uh doris uh what where would you like to go

01:09:39.720 it's 11 15 yeah uh there's two more questions i just want to address and then um i just want to

01:09:46.360 talk about the survey so um one question that was asked was if i'm moving from another province

01:09:53.480 do i follow the old provinces rules no you follow the new provinces rules and if you don't know what they

01:09:59.320 are get in touch with that provincial association they will guide you and so will the hslda website which

01:10:06.840 is what i showed at the very beginning they have it all broken down as well um the other thing oh

01:10:14.760 i wanted to bring up um wendy had uh volunteered at the learning center um which is um a whole nother

01:10:24.040 thing and and i live very remote on vancouver island i had no amenities we had nothing we ran all our own

01:10:30.600 programs so on fridays and this applies to whether you you've got a husband or support or if you're

01:10:37.960 a single parent um fridays we created a co-op as well and we had other parents who would take on a class

01:10:47.800 and teach several children at once sometimes we all went to the big town and rented the pool and ran

01:10:54.920 swimming our own swimming lessons program our own ice skating program our own gymnastics program and if

01:11:00.840 you have to work that day there was always somebody you could send your child along with so there is

01:11:06.360 those options um i live in colonna and the big school down here is hcos they offer a fantastic homeschool

01:11:15.240 program and they have a one day a week uh they they run it so that's another thing you can do is you

01:11:22.520 can drop your child off there in a homeschool friendly environment and culture that believe

01:11:29.400 in what we do and you can work about that day as well so there are ways to do it you need to get plugged

01:11:36.360 in you need to find your people um it's hard to do it alone i don't encourage you to do it alone

01:11:42.920 so wendy do you have any closing thoughts

01:11:44.920 um all valuable information awesome um no no closing thoughts i um just want to talk a little

01:11:59.000 bit on the learning center what your role was okay we ran a learning center it was only over eight weeks

01:12:06.440 it was every other week over a few months and we have provided the children with three classes

01:12:15.480 and a mom would teach one help in one and get coffee in another of these classes and um we had ran classes

01:12:25.160 we ran the nursery we did a preschool program that was set with different parents coming in

01:12:33.560 for the three different periods and then the strengths that the moms had they usually would

01:12:39.960 teach so i encouraged moms if they were if they had a grade six in the family and they were going to

01:12:45.960 have to do extreme environments anyway if they felt like doing it do a class and invite all the other kids

01:12:54.520 in too it's um so she would teach that help someone when you're helping someone in a class that they're

01:13:03.160 providing you learn from them um and and you can help um we we moms don't usually come equipped to handle uh

01:13:16.760 five five or ten children of your child's age it's we've got a family and they're all different ages

01:13:24.200 but this was great experience also for the mom that said that um the teacher used to tell him everything

01:13:32.200 he only believed in the teacher and didn't believe in the mom having a co-op where you teach a group of

01:13:39.080 children those other children maybe not your own but the other children go wow and they learn and

01:13:46.040 they've got their eyes on you and your child sees that oh my mom is valuable so part of part of

01:13:55.480 homeschooling is having your your children um look to you for the answers and you don't have to have all

01:14:03.720 the answers but you teach them how to find the answers you help them as you find answers you help

01:14:12.200 the children learn to learn so true and you know um as i said earlier when you start them younger

01:14:24.040 they become independent learners usually by grade seven they're highly motivated because they want to

01:14:29.080 get the school work done by lunch they're freed up to do other structured activities um i lived in a

01:14:35.160 town where a tourist town so they were my kids were the first to get the jobs after in the afternoons

01:14:41.560 um around april or so so um yeah just to keep that in mind so i'm just gonna quickly share my screen
