    Homeschooling Gives Your Child the Best Education with Emelie Pepito

    Welcome to episode 192 with Jennifer and Emelie.  Over her 28 years of homeschooling, one of the main reasons Jennifer has seen families quit is the fear that their child will not get the education they need. While homeschooling is not for everyone, we're here today to unpack the lie that your child is guaranteed to get a better education in a more formal system. Children want to learn. They are naturally curious, capable of information retention, and interested in the world around them. So often the formal education that we think is "safe" offers little in the way of real life skills, kills curiosity, and creates performers, not learners. Instead, we talk about raising whole children, whose lives are shaped by their values, not their education level because education can always be acquired while values must be instilled from a young age. Practically, everything your child needs to know academically can be acuired in a 100 hours of education. Besides, when you step back from fear and look at the general education level of the American population do you really think that your child is going to receive a better education in a system that is producing a population where 1 in every 5 adults is illiterate.  This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press! Our full length Peaceful Press Elementary Bundles  give your children the opportunity to learn practical skills, read beautiful literature, and engage in a living history and applicable science. If you're not loving your current homeschool, don't wait till next year to make a change. Switch now and enjoy every moment of learning with the Peaceful Press.  In this episode– The brutal failures of the American education system All the smartest people I know taught themselves after highschool The most important and hardest thing for your child to acquire is a deep sense of self and a firm moral compass  The history of home education.
