that’s a China conventional school I
observe children come to school early in
the morning looking tired and going back
home moisés dead
I saw them struggle academically they
struggle to perform so please parents to
please teach has to pass exams my
children were not left out of this adieu
this led me to explore their methods of
educating them without stressing them
with long hours of school work so I
decided to home-school home school as
the name implies it’s simply teaching
children at home without sending them to
a conventional school home schooling
tends to remove the challenges
completely challenges conventionally
settled for home schooling because it
gives it gave me time to know my
children better I could imbibe character
traits in them like obedience polite
character personal responsibility or
more there’s consistency learning which
is not there in a conventional school we
had flexible hours they didn’t need two
stains they didn’t need to stay in
classes for a very long time and the
teacher to student ratio dye is always a
problem in the conventional school is
taken care of as home schooling is done
on a one-on-one basis so I’m able to
teach my children based on the abilities
I get to teach all subjects
kingdom perspective based on my belief
as a child of God and making it easy to
pass my fits to the next generation
there’s this big question that always
comes with homeschooling socialization
how to home-school children socialize
with other children how do I deal with
this in homeschool India’s always a
place for research and development they
are different techniques different
socialization techniques developed based
personality not like Africa did it for
me as I have a son that is technology
savvy they belong to the children
community known as young Fame assembly
where they get to interact with other
children and I make them available for
homeschooling needs it’s easy you just
have to be interested think of tomorrow
where do I want this children to be
tomorrow and you get it right as as
inspiring as homeschooling may sound
almost every educated parent come home
school because it’s not one size fits
hence the need for research and
development ever wondered why in our
society today there’s so much disrespect
there’s lack of oh no nobody has taught
them we are very interested in taking
them to school dumping them there
basically because that is the way I see
it because it just apparents bring
children to school keep them there and
leave or when is close closing us
sometimes we do need to start calling
them to come and pick their children so
much creativity
and innovation has been buried on that
long school ass in Nigeria
host : has been a very educating
experience for me it has been a learning
experience because I’ve got to
understand that our children need more
of our time they need more of our
presence than we actually give them they
want to know more they want to explode
but we are too busy with our work with
our vision to bother about their own so
by the time they grow up they grew up
actually confused everyone that way
children finished secondary school some
of them come in can’t even reach the
finished secondary school they don’t
know which course to study they fill
jump from today
geology next year look and you begin to
wonder was the connection there has been
no direction but with homeschooling you
get to know this children better you
understand them you can tell from if a
child of seven you can tell his interest
and where he’s gonna be tomorrow if you
pay attention and I think if you are
interested in homeschooling it does not
make you like somebody said your life
comes to a standstill it does not bring
your life to a standstill
it actually gives you flexible hours
because for me by 12:00 in the morning
my children at school they are true with
schoolwork and from 12:00 the evening I
have time for a lot of things I get to
design children clothes I get to make
hair clips for sale I make my children’s
head myself and I’m learning more I go
back for training after school as I can
go with my children sometimes if I want
to reward them for being disciplined
daddy I take them out to where I’m
training and they learn a lot
it does not stop you from being who you
want to be it just gives you the
opportunity of being who you want to be
and making the children be who they want
