Growing up, Britton LaTulippe changed schools almost every year. He attended 10 different schools in 6 different states, experiencing public schools, private schools, and even an elite boarding school. That school changed his life. So, when it came time to decide what kind of education he wanted for his children, he was a little disappointed. At around $30,000 a year, there was no way he could afford an elite private school for ALL his children.

Luckily he stumbled upon something he thinks is even better. That’s right – Homeschooling!

As he researched the different options for his children, he discovered the shocking truths about the American public school system and recorded it in his controversial book Revealing School. The evidence in it will shock you, but Mr. LaTulippe believes there is a solution: Children can get an elite education at home. Ever since, his mission was to create a curriculum that not only mimics elite prep schools, but is accessible to all! He has done this through his new site Blue Manor Academy.

Fueled by the legacy he wants to leave his own 6 children, he has created the beginning of a new way to educate your children online. While other sites focus on entertaining and making learning fun, Blue Manor also motivates and inspires children with characters and values they want to emulate.

Packed with vocabulary, essential facts, classic literature, and exciting original stories, Blue Manor Academy ensures parents that the content is not over stimulating like so many video-game style learning sites.

What does having a degree mean?
Today, having a degree does not necessarily make you more qualified to teach than someone who doesn’t have one.  The skills you actually possess are the defining factor.  The completion of a list of classes and the required tasks associated with them is not a good measurement.

First, some people can take a class without learning or remembering anything significant.  Remember that French class you took in highschool?  The fact that I took one is the extent of what I can recall.  And did I really need to learn how to speak French?

That leads me to my next question; who decided what essential knowledge is needed to teach?  In most secular institutions, a degree in education starts with child psychology and the study of how children learn.  Again you could question the integrity of the origins of these topics, but that is a whole other story.

In short, most institutions are guided by the notion that there is no God and people have no spirit.  That is how experts look at our children; as animals or biological machines.  They try to put them in a box, categorize them, and label them.

Today, having a degree in education usually means two things; teachers have preconceived notions about the learning process, and two, the prestige a degree carries today may be misleading to both society, and the teacher who holds it.

The Prestige
They have just completed 17+ years of schooling.  They should be confident!  But a lot of the time, they take themselves too seriously.  Because the knowledge and techniques that teachers have gained through their degree is seen as essential, the logical conclusion is that it is the best.

What if the assumptions about how our children learn are wrong?  That means, the techniques and systems used to teach our children would miss their mark.

Parents’ esteem for a degree is also detrimental.  Parents believe “experts” are teaching their children and so, they pass the buck to the “more qualified” individual.  When their child slowly starts to fall behind, they start to point fingers.  They trusted the reputation of a piece of paper signed off by a stranger whom they know nothing of their motive or character.

Even society on the whole believes that the “highly qualified” institutions can do no wrong and instead of trying something different, they insist that funding is the problem.  “The experts just don’t have enough resources,” they say.

Dedication, Care, and Love
Who taught your child to crawl?  Who taught them to walk, speak, and use the toilet?  Who cried the first time they said, “I love you mommy?”

You know your child best.  You should not discount your methods or parenting style simply because you don’t have a certificate.

The stranger who has one is not ordained by God for the job.

God has put the responsibility on you and although everyone is accountable for their own wrong doings, you have to be sure you have done your best.  I am, by no means, discounting the dedication, patience, and love that teachers across this nation give to others’ children.  I am, however, questioning the efficiency and merit of the system and encouraging you to remember; you are your child’s first and best teacher.

Just to boost your confidence here are 10 successful people who don’t have a degree:
1. Micheal Dell – dropped out of college
2. Henry Ford – never graduated high school
3. Bill Gates – dropped out of Harvard, then 30 years later they just gave him a degree.
4. John D. Rockefeller Sr. – no formal college
5. Mark Zuckerburg – college drop out
6. Mary Kay – college drop out
7. Walt Disney – high school drop out
8. Steve Jobs – college drop out
9. Jane Austen – formal schooling until age 11, homeschooled, never attended college
10. Richard Branson – high school dropout

You won’t be able to put this book down!

The post I Could NEVER Homeschool My Children first appeared on True Aim.

“Well gee, I don’t know. I guess we homeschool because we don’t want our kids raised in a Godless, bully-infested, government hellhole, whose academic mission statement is “Common! Common to the Core!” … or something like that.

So instead, I’d just shrug and claim that homeschooling is what worked for us, for our family. That’s right, nothing more than a preference; you like chocolate, we like vanilla.

But that isn’t how I really feel. With all my heart I believe homeschooling is for every parent, every child, every family.

Is homeschooling a better way? Yeah, it is. There I said it.

But I’m not saying that we are better, or we love our kids more. I, (like I’m hoping you will be), am a homeschool convert. I wasn’t a believer, but after reflecting on my school experience, after remembering what it did to me, and didn’t do for me, I gave homeschooling the old college try. And I never looked back.

10 Reasons to Homeschool Your Children

I love that homeschooling keeps our family together. I love that I it doesn’t take all day. My kids are several grades ahead. I love that there is no Common Core. I love that I don’t have to fight a school board over curriculum choices. Plus, I am part of a freedom movement. I love that my kids are chasing dreams, not test scores. I love that my kids’ best friends are their brothers and sisters. Finally, I love that we can still start each school day off with a prayer.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Here are my top 10 reasons for homeschooling:

 1. Kids Should Love Learning

For me, school was synonymous with suffering. It was sit down, shut up, pay attention, take notes, do assignments, regurgitate, get report cards – an endless cycle of compulsion, forced learning. You had to learn until it hurt. You couldn’t be human. There were no days off. You couldn’t say “No, thank you.” You couldn’t say, “I would rather…”

In time, kids learn to hate learning. They cry over homework, they wait to the last minute and then cram for tests, or they cheat. Anything to lessen the “learning” load. I was one of them.

With my kids it is the opposite. I’m like, “Hey, stop reading that book and go play outside for awhile.” My kids do math worksheets for fun to see how many they can solve. And I’m not even sure if it is healthy, but they read alllllll the time.

2. Kids Need to Believe That They Have Potential

Have you heard of a gal named Barbara Corcoran? Before becoming famous as an investor on ABC’s Shark Tank, she made millions in New York selling real estate. I believe she sold her company for 66 million. Although proving to be a business “genius,” the multi-millionaire confesses, “I feel like my whole life I’ve been insecure about looking not smart.”

Here is a woman who has achieved financial success that most Americans could never dream of, yet she still harbors a deep-seated insecurity about being stupid. So, where did this idea that she was stupid come from? School, of course. Barbara was a straight D student. Somehow all the success in the real world can’t shake that terrible lesson taught in school. She is now 66, and still talking about how stupid she feels.

She isn’t alone. All children are bursting with potential, only to have their wings psychologically clipped in school. And for millions of adults, the doubts and insecurities linger long after school is just an ugly old scar.

3. School is Social Suicide

I cannot tell you how often non-homeschooling parenting ask how I “socialize” my children outside of school. I’m always like, “Ummm, well I talk to them and allow them to talk to others, which is already more than I can say for school. I mean, I don’t know what schools these people attended, but I went to 10 unique schools, in 6 different states, both public and private, and they all had this in common: Socializing was strictly forbidden.

The second you walked in class you had to zip the lips and PAY ATTENTION! because you know, “You’re not here to socialize.” For goodness sake, you couldn’t even quietly pass a note. Kids literally only have a few minutes at recess and lunch, or in between classes to talk. Maybe that’s why conversation devolves into slang and 4-letter words.

But I’m not complaining. I mean, don’t you remember how school kids socialize? Seriously, school is social suicide!

4. Bullying is a Big Issue in Schools

School bullies are such a big deal that even our president has spoken out about it. There is a national campaign being waged as we speak to raise awareness and tolerance in schools, but I’m not holding my breath.

School is a bully-making machine. Schools take vulnerable, immature children away from their parents prematurely, pack them into a building with little supervision, lock the doors, and then wonder why they can’t solve their bullying epidemic.

I know that the utopian ideal is that all kids can learn to get along; that by forcing kids to socialize with kids they normally wouldn’t, school will breed tolerance and understanding. That would be ideal if it were possible. But it isn’t. You take a violent street thug and lock him in with a small nerdy kid, and bad things happen.

The Social Environment at School can be Dangerous

The funny thing is, we know better, don’t we? There are parts of town that we stay away from, especially after dark. There are people we don’t associate with. And as adults, we have the ability and right to protect ourselves.

School children know better too. They know what will happen to them in the locker room, on the bus, under the bleachers, and behind the school. The difference is that school forces them into those dangerous situations. And to boot, kids aren’t allowed to defend themselves. Schools have adopted a zero tolerance policy for all violence, and that usually includes the victim fighting for his life.

I’m glad schools are taking the bully crisis seriously, unfortunately the bullies don’t take the school seriously.

5. You Like Your Kids.

Don’t we all? Sometimes I don’t know. Every school year I see youtube videos of parents celebrating their children’s return to school. I know it’s a joke… but is it really?

I’m sure that there are some parents who prefer a distant relationship with their kids, but for the rest of us, togetherness is a huge advantage of homeschooling. Five years old is just to early to “let go.” I don’t know how parents do it. And it’s never easy. A lot of moms secretly cry.

Yes, you will see them in the morning and evening, but is that really enough?

Kids used to work side by side with their parents until marriage, when they built a house just down the road. I get that the world has changed, but has our need for our children changed? And is their need for us any less?

Most Important Aspect of Life Are Relationships

The longer children stay in school the further they will drift. The bonds you shared the first five years will begin to dissolve, slowly at first, but by middle school and high school, you will find that your children have bonds and loyalties to a new community.

In high school, between school, sports, homework and friends, you will be lucky to share thirty minutes a day with your kid. It isn’t enough. Then they will graduate, and parents will be lucky to see them once a year.

Life is about relationships, not test scores. Even if school could provide a better education, (which it can’t) the relationships are a million times more important. What parents wouldn’t trade the “My Child is an Honor Student” bumper sticker for a few more hours a week with their kids? And what grown child, looking back, would trade their time with mom and dad for a higher SAT score? Forget about school; Your kids need you more.

6.  Children Have a Right to Chase Their Dreams.

When I was a kid I was an amazing artist. I entered three art competitions, and won them all. At the age of 8, I was the best artist at every school I attended. I was a million light years ahead of my peers in art and it was my destiny to be a Disney illustrator.

That was all true, until a year into middle school. Then school got in the way. There were tests, homework and sports, and teachers punished me for doodling in class.

School had my future all laid out with, Calculus, English, Biology, etc. I took a few art classes at school, but they were those “easy” electives that nobody took seriously. Besides the classes wrung all the creativity out of art by giving me stupid projects to do. Instead of honing my drawing techniques, I was forced to make “leaf art” and paper mache.

So, I quit. It wasn’t a conscious decision. The busy work of school simply pushed art out the picture. And whatever early “genius” I demonstrated as a child is frozen in childhood. I look back at drawings from 5th grade and wonder, “my goodness, how could I have created this?” What a waste.

Children have a right to chase their own passions and dreams; education should be wind in their sails, not an anchor of bubble sheets and boring.

7. Kids  Should Be Learning Things, and Learning Things That Actually Matter.

Let me start by saying that I am not one of those low achieving students, who is now claiming sour grapes. I am one of those high achieving students, now claiming sour grapes. I worked so stinking hard. I did all my homework, I crammed for every test, I took SAT Prep courses, I did the extra credit, I took AP and honors classes, I sucked up to teachers, and all in good faith, trusting that my hard work would eventually be rewarded.

But I never speak any Spanish, have yet to solve any calculus problems, and can’t remember anything from chemistry. Sure, school taught me some things, but nothing of much value, and certainly nothing I couldn’t have learned better, faster, and in my home.

I feel totally cheated and misled. Yeah kids need to read and figure, but my seven year old is reading chapter books and already doing multiplication. And everything she does has a practical application. So why did it take me so long to learn so little in school?

I mean I would love to take chemistry again, but this time tie it to gardening, or cooking, or wielding, something, anything with a practical application.

If you really want educated children, build a curriculum around the things in life that really matter: Faith, Family, Fitness, and Finances. Teach them how to create, built, think, speak, work, budget, invest, plan, lead, troubleshoot, cook, garden, start a business, etc. These are the things that make up our lives.

8. Private Schools Aren’t the Answer. 

Dude, school is school. I’m not saying that private schools aren’t at a slight advantage, especially if you live in big, gang-infested cities. But before you throw down big bucks in high hopes, you need to know a few things.

Nearly all private schools are accredited; meaning they are all made in the image of public school. You will find the same schedules, same testing, same certified teachers, same class structures, same curriculum, same sports, same dances, and generally the same rules. What will you get for you money? Probably, smaller class sizes, a better standardized test score, and a warm fuzzy feeling that your kids are better off.

Yes, but maybe it’s the Christian influence that you are after. That would be nice, but there really isn’t one. Look, I attended three private Christian schools in three different states. The Christian impact was minimal. Most had a 30 minute chapel once a week (that students talked or slept through), and then it was back to our secular education.

Just look it up. Kids graduating from Christian schools are just as likely to leave the faith as those graduating from public schools.

9. Satan Wants Your Kids in School.

When we think of education, school has us envisioning the subjects they teach. But what is most import?

For me, it is faith. If I had to choose between raising kids who couldn’t count to ten or read a single word, but loved the Lord with all their heart, I’d choose children who honored God. I think most Christians would, but few understand that their decision about school will make all the difference in the world.

In 2002, the Southern Baptist Council on Family Life noticed a disturbing trend of kids being raised in the Church, turing 18, and then walking away from their faith. So they conducted a survey of parents, and what they discovered was far worse than they could have ever imagined: 88% of the young people in the Church were walking away from their faith after graduating high school!

Other churches and organizations conducted similar studies and though none proved as bad as 88%, I think the lowest was 70%. Some of these kids will eventually return to their faith, but the majority won’t.

Homeschooling Helps Strengthen Their Faith

Now, when it comes to our kids and their faith, there are never any guarantees, but homeschooling is your best bet. When the same survey was conducted in Christian homeschool families, only 6% of graduates turned away from the church. That is a 94% success rate for homeschoolers and a 70-88% failure rate for government schoolers.

Taking a chance with public school is like playing Russian Roulette with your kids eternal souls. I know that is going to offend some people; the truth always does.

10. Yeah, There’s That Conspiracy Thing too. 

I hate to even go there, because 99% of Americans are programmed to reject anything that sounds like a conspiracy, anything that would suggest that our benevolent leaders don’t always have our best interests in mind. But that is exactly what school is: the single greatest conspiracy in history!

Most Americans think that school was created to educate the population. We actually believe that our leaders wanted an educated citizenry to hold them accountable. We can only believe this because we are such an utterly schooled society.

The True History of American Schooling

The fact is, America gave birth to government schooling on the heels of the industrial revolution. The large factories were looking for cheap labor and their solution was school.

School serves as daycare so that both parents can work. With both parents working, the industrialists had doubled the supply of labor. This created excess labor for corporate America, and a scarcity of jobs for workers. That of course drove wages into the dirt. So, where women once entered the workforce in the promise of getting ahead financially, they now work just to keep their families financial heads above water.

Our industrial society runs on ignorance, and it’s the school’s job to keep us that way. The next time you drive to the grocery store, look at the businesses, gas stations, restaurants, car washes, movie theaters, etc. Most of the businesses aren’t looking to hire Einstein’s. They need simple people, who are content doing simple jobs for simple wages. By stunting children’s education, schools guarantee American industry a massive pool of low-skilled labor.

There is proof of this conspiracy and many others in my book.

You’re NOT Convinced You Want to Homeschool

There is so much more to say. This is only the tip of the iceberg, and the PG tip at that. I never expected that this post would undo centuries of relentless pro-school propaganda. But hopefully it has got you questioning our sacred schools.  If you need to know more, the entire truth about America’s schools is in my new book: REVEALING school.

People have claimed that schools dumb kids down, and REVEALING school is the book that shows you how it’s being done. Part 3 of REVEALING school uncovers things about education that have never before been talked about. Part 3 is groundbreaking. It will shock you and yet, you will wonder why you never saw it before; the conspiracy of school was hidden in plain sight.

You can get a paper copy of REVEALING SCHOOL on Amazon, or save by getting the digital copy through Blue Manor.

The post Why Homeschool? Here are 10 Good Reasons first appeared on True Aim.

The short story is, I couldn’t find any so I made some. Here’s what I came up with; Stained Glass Nativity Ornaments.

They are pretty enough to laminate and keep for a while or give them to people on presents like gift tags. You could also use some clear tape and hang them in the window.

Stained Glass Nativity Ornaments

To be honest, I had fun coloring some too. I printed the ornaments on card stock and used my BIC permanent markers to color each little area a different color. Colored pencils or crayons would work great too!

I tried to keep each section the same hue; I used blues and yellows for the sky, greens and browns for the ground.

We tried adding some oil to the back of the ornaments in a few places so the light can come through them even more and make them really look like stained glass. The great thing about these nativity ornaments is that the Christmas story really shows through because they’re in black silhouettes. That means they look awesome on the tree!

These are definitely laminate-worthy and if you do use a little oil, or choose to oil the whole backside, it will help the oil from getting on other things.

These are close to my favorite ornaments so far! How about you? What is your favorite handmade ornament?

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the free printable!

Ever heard of a brain dumping? That’s what happens most of the time on more traditional educational tracks. We load children up with thousands of detailed, disconnected facts in the name of educational experience, but nothing sticks.

You’ve probably experienced this when you were a child. Going deep into a topic like the Pilgrims and Indians, you learned everything about them. What they ate; what they wore, making paper Pilgrim hats and belts, coloring in the Mayflower and drawing lots of Maize (corn) but the focus of what the Pilgrims did that was so important was lost in all of that. We like to do crafts and units studies too, but those things are not essential and can distract from the more valuable information that you want your children to remember.

So how do you balance fun, your children’s interests, and provide an excelled education that makes the essential facts stick?

First, you have to decide what is essential. What do you want your children to learn that will bring them success in the future? I already talked about what I think the 2 most important subjects are in my how to Homeschool Preschool introduction. Those were Character and Curiosity.

So what does that look like?

It’s all about priorities. At the top of my list is to teach my children God’s Word and how to apply it to their lives. This drastically effects character, but can also cover history, reading, and writing in an exciting way. After that, in addition to the traditional basics, like reading, writing, and math, needed for kindergarten, we want our children to have a beginning knowledge in geography, art, science, and life skills.

We couldn’t find anything close to what we wanted in a curriculum so we made our own.  Blue Manor Christian Preschool Curriculum comes in a 23 eBook set and includes Character, Bible, Manners, Money, Numbers, Shapes, Phonics, Letters, Art, Anatomy, Weather, Vocabulary and more.  The Parent Guide talks about our educational philosophy and how to use the curriculum, but I’ll give you some more ideas in my next post about How to Teach.

Inside Our Preschool Curriculum

Our curriculum was designed to give your child a big head start.  Everything we have included is essential to the understanding of the world and also to lay a foundation on which it is easy to build upon.  Although it may seem simple, children love it and retain more of the information.

To give you an idea of what the books look like inside, I’ve included some screenshots of my favorite books. If you aren’t looking for a full curriculum, individual books are also available in our individual eBook store. Or join our monthly eBook club to get one unique Blue Manor eBook for free!

Character Development

Nothing beats reading the Bible and discussing what it means with your children for character development.  That’s usually how we start our day.

Our books on Character gives a few suggestions on how to build character in your children with everyday activities in addition to reading the Bible.  The Manners eBook covers basic rules of social etiquette to help children develop a respect and concern for others that resembles Christ-likeness.

Our character series of posts also include valuable resources for some of the most popular character traits.  

I also recommend these games, books, and movies to aid you in instilling values in your children. 

Phonics Reading

Our phonics system uses a combination of phonics and sight words.  Level 1(preschool) teaches the alphabet letter names, basic sounds, a few sight words, and how to read their first 100 words.  This prepares them to read our Level 1 Phonics Readers and for Level 2 where they will learn all the letter sounds not covered in Level 1, more sight words, and basic vowel combinations.

Our phonics system has children reading words right away.  This motivates them and encourages them.  They see the importance of learning the sounds right away and sometimes laugh when they read their first word because it is so easy.  I’ve taught more than 10 children to read this way and can’t wait to start with my 2-yr-old.

Although all the books are PDFs, you can print any page you would like. Also, all of our phonics books have audio attached when you use them on your computer. If you don’t like eBooks, you can buy the Print Version of the books too!

I like to print off a word that my child struggles with and post it in obvious places so they practice it throughout the day.  Big letters help my child blend from left to right easily and see each letter distinctly.  The words are in capital letters so children can’t memorize the shape of the word.

We reinforce the curriculum with fun activities and lots of reading time.  Here are some of our favorite games to play for phonics!  While you might think flash cards are boring, they are a cheap and easy way to get kids excited about learning.  Many of these games are active and have links to FREE flash cards.

Basic Preschool Handwriting Worksheets

These basic worksheets help beginners develop fine motor skills, tracing skills and writing in the lines.  Forming the letters with come easily after they develop the strength and coordination.

Our How to Draw Worksheets have simple step by step pictures that any preschooler can draw on their own with a little practice while at the same time teaching shape recognition and basic art concepts.  You can see more about these pages in my post about Preschool Handwriting and Drawing.

To save money on ink, we use this Crayola Dry Erase Board.  I also use sheet protectors with dry erase markers in a binder like the one pictured above.

Preschool Math

At the basic level, math is all about counting and learning number values vs symbols.  We cover counting to 10 with value recognition so children can visualize what the numbers look like.  Numbers up to 100 are also listed.  The basics of money recognition are featured in a beautiful book with lots of examples.

Vocabulary

Our curriculum is jam packed full of useful vocabulary for young children.  Often overlooked, vocabulary isn’t to make children seem smart, it helps them relate and communicate about their world.  The more vocabulary you teach young children, the easier it is to teach more complex subjects later on.  Instead of having to stop and explain what something is, they will already know so you can have a deeper more detailed conversation.

Big Book of Homeschooling Ideas

Everyone is different and even if you don’t choose Blue Manor Curriculum, you can homeschool preschool!  If you haven’t already, make sure you check out this amazing book written by many seasoned homeschool moms.  There are Tons of ideas for how to homeschool preschool that I know you will love including:

Finally, I gave in.  I started with a simple routine that I learned from a friend to help my baby sleep.  When I discovered how well that worked, I started making schedules for everything!

Usually I keep all my lists and schedules for the month on the computer in my Google Drive or this free blank monthly calendar, but I also like my weekly to-do list and menu magnetized to the side of the fridge as a quick reference.  So, I made this handy weekly planner printable to share with you!

Free Weekly Planner Printable

To make my weekly planner reusable and easily accessible, I added a few things to it.  First, I printed my planner off on cardstock.  Then I used contact paper to cover it so I could use some dry erase markers on it (you could also use a laminator).  I slapped a magnet on the back so it sticks to the refrigerator and if I need a reminder about what I’m doing that day, it’s right there!

I love having the weekly planner instead of the full month because I can write more details and it doesn’t clutter up my refrigerator.  To print your own weekly planner, simply click on the image below.  Then right click and either save it to your computer, or click print to send it directly to your printer.

Please do not copy or link directly to the image on any other website.  You are welcome to share the link to this post with your friends by clicking on the social sharing buttons below!

How do you use schedules to help plan for the future?  I hope this printable helps!
