Homeschooling: Set Them Up for Success home school parents conference

/

I thought at first that the 2015 TMA Homeschool Parents Conference: Set Them Up for Success was an exclusive event for enrollees of The Master’s Academy. I was very excited upon learning that they have opened it to non-TMA parents.

So if you’re toying with the idea of home schooling your children next school year or have been home schooling for a while and in need of booster training, this is a great conference to sign up for.

All in

Home schooling my children is one of the things I’m most passionate about. In my heart, I know that I can only do so much for my children and that it is the LORD that will define my children’s future, but in that opportunity that I’ve been given to prepare them for it, I am all in.

It’s always wise to learn more about home schooling, understand its principles and concept first before jumping into it. Home schooling is so much more than just making sure the kids are keeping up with their academics or saving up money, although those can be benefits that your family can enjoy among others.

Just yesterday, I was talking to a friend of mine who is considering home schooling for their children, and she was asking me if it was possible to teach all her three children at the same time. I encouraged her and her husband to attend the TMA home school parents conference where one of the topics to be discussed is multi-level home schooling.

    We did entertain the idea of having my daughter home-schooled before but I realized that I don’t have the patience to teach… hehe. Kudos to parents with home-schooled kids. 🙂

      Many working moms home school their children. It’s more challenging, definitely, but it can be done. 🙂

    Homeschooling na naman! TMA is a nice option no, but someone from here (both a homeschooler and a real estate broker) told me that it’s not a very cost-effective option. Not that it’s the topic of your post; naalala ko lang.

    What workshop are you planning to attend?

      I thought “multi-level” homeschooling and the one about adjusting your strategies to effectively teach your children are good topics to go to for home schoolers who have been at it for a while.

      Yeah, TMA is the pioneering home school provider in the Philippines, and they’re the ones who have good relations with DepEd, so yeah, it is pretty good.

      We’re non-TMA-ers, but these conferences are really helpful.

      Most of the time, weekend naman ang home school conferences. I’ll ping you when the annual HAPI home school conference is scheduled. 🙂

      Home schooling is a calling, I don’t fault parents who don’t feel that they are called to home school. At the end of the day, it really boils down to parenting. Many families who do not home school have raised good kids, too. 🙂

    I’m having a hard time getting my son to do his writing so I’m wondering how I could do homeschooling. Haha. It’s nice to know that homeschooling is getting more attention these days and there are conferences like this to better equip the interested parents. 🙂

    My husband is strongly against homeschooling. Me naman, I’m torn. I want to try it but my not-so-patient side is telling me not too. We decided to enroll our kids in progressive school but I think this conference is helpful, especially for those who are considering homeschooling 🙂
