RE: We Joined a Homeschool Co-Op! Thanks to Hive for Providing Our Tuition Funds!

in Home Edders3 years ago

That is really awesome, @crosheille !! I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. I joined a Christian Co-Op a few years into my Homeschooling journey. It was one of the best things I did, although I had my reservations at first.

Co-ops were still not as mainstream. I tried to do everything, but, nobody can do that. I was a fail at Spanish, but, one of the women was Spanish and she taught my kids Spanish one day a week, I taught her kids French. A match was born. As the kids got older, more involved classes were added, we had many professionals stepping in to give a one-time class to introduce them to different things. (because it was a Christian group, we chose from people that we knew) We watched an open-heart surgery from above the surgical theater, with the patient's and family's approvals. It was almost unheard of at the time. My kids had piano lessons and I taught flute. It was not the organized awesomeness that you have, but, it was a start and it was so beneficial.

I love what you are doing and I can honestly say, I would never take back one moment that I am/have put into homeschooling. Not in a million years!

Good luck! Let Him be your guide. ❤️

This was so encouraging to read! It makes me feel better knowing it's a normal things to have reservations about this...change in general causes that sometimes. I was really glad to hear you enjoyed it and felt it was one of the best things you did.

Wow an open heart surgery? I can’t even imagine watching that in person.

There is still room for better organization there but the parents (who are also the teachers and admins) are really doing their best. I am amazed at how much they do for the co-op knowing they are parents like us who still have to manage their homes as well.

Thank you so so much for this encouraging comment and for sharing your experience with me, it helps. I will definitely let Him be my guide, I couldn’t do this without Him :)
