I received a simple but important email today. A podcast listener wrote to ask, “What are your views on Common Core and curriculum?“ It’s been a while since we’ve addressed Common Core on the blog, so here was my answer to her. We are strongly opposed to Common Core (the Common Core State Standards Initiative) and most Common Core-aligned curriculum. We have spent a considerable amount of time discussing the topic on the the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast and the Thinking Dad, and we touched on it in our documentary, Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution. I have included a couple of videos on the topic below. Briefly, our concerns about Common Core…

🎉 A Million Thanks! 🚀 Actually, 1,008,762 thanks, give or take a few… Last week I started getting “Memories” from seven years ago in my Facebook feed. You see, we started filming for Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution in December of 2016, so we were posting a lot at that time. God has done SO MUCH in the past seven years. We had no idea what he was doing (let alone what we were doing) when we started. We had no idea how long it would take to release the film, no idea that the film would lead to podcasts, conferences, and an enduring ministry to homeschool families. We had no idea where we…

We recently received an amazing email from a mom after she watched Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution. Sherrie and her husband are both public school teachers in New York City, but Sherrie heard about Schoolhouse Rocked on the Parenting with Ginger Hubbard podcast and her curiosity led her to watch the film. Here’s what she had to say… “I just wanted to say thank you for creating such a well done, modern and balanced representation of homeschooling in our country. It was not only inspirational and motivating for me who is still equally nervous as I am excited, but it also affirmed our decision to homeschool for the very first time.It’s funny and truly sad how…

But,…

Pastors, churches, Christians, Elders, Bride of Christ, what is the Missions Budget Challenge? Simple… “Consider how much your church is spending on foreign missions. Now consider how much you are spending to enable the children in your church to have a Christian education at home. How does it stack up?” My conviction and challenge for you is every church should put AT LEAST as high a priority on the mission field of the children in the church as they do on faraway tribes. Well over 80 percent of the kids in Christian churches still go to government schools to be educated in the religions of Secular Humanism and Marxist Statism.…

“I don’t think there’s any way for anybody to make an argument that institutionalizing children in these places we call school, where most of us went, is improving their psychological health.” – Dr. Brian Ray In a world where traditional schooling can sometimes leave children feeling lost in the crowd, many parents are turning to an alternative education option that provides a personalized and values-driven learning experience for their children – the homeschool revolution!

“Parents must understand that sending their children into the public school system without adequate training is like sending them into a spiritual war unarmed.” Alex Newman In March, we had the privilege of having Alex Newman join us as a speaker for the Homegrown Generation Family Expo, with a session titled “Rescuing Our Children.” In that session, Alex hit upon a topic that is crucial to parents. Alex argues that parents have the sole responsibility of educating their children, and using government funding to provide that education jeopardizes not only the quality of education but also religious freedom. He presents a passionate plea to parents to reclaim their rightful role…

We know that homeschooling isn’t easy. We also know that the costs and sacrifices to make homeschooling work can be a huge concern for many families. That’s why we have worked for years to make the barrier to entry as low as we possibly can. Over the past year we have been able to make all but one of our resources free (and we’re considering how we can make that one free too). 1) You can now stream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free. This is the life changing feature-length documentary that started it all. “Schoolhouse Rocked is the movie this confused, convicted, unconfident mother wishes had been available to…

In a demonstration that free speech died long ago, once again, we were blocked by a social media media giant. It wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time. I’ll cut to the chase.
