    There's no such thing as Numeracy.

    We discuss Reading, Riting, and Rithmatic, and the possibility that maybe we don’t need to be focusing on “Maths” as an entirely separate topic. If you have any questions or comments, write in and we’ll discuss them on the show. Email ahoy@pirateschool.fm.

    Teaching and Learning Behaviour

    We chat about the fact that home educators do a great job of behavioural education, and express our frustrations with senior schooling’s focus on testing.

    The one about religion

    Religion plays a huge role in the lives of many homeschooling families, including ours. We don’t normally put too much of an emphasis on the topic, so we’ve dedicated this episode to discussing our Judaism and how it influences the way we educate our kids. If you have any questions or comments, write in and we’ll discuss them on the show. Email ahoy@pirateschool.fm.
