the program
Homeschooling from the Inside Out: Start with the Family
We hope to relieve the stress of those several hours during the day when you shift gears to imitate—and try to improve on—the world’s school system, bending your family to fit the world’s curriculum. We’ll talk about focusing on the family first. You can ask: What is our family personality? What do we do well? What is our purpose, our mission? How can we work and play and study and serve together? How can we then upgrade as we strive to become more intelligent, spiritual, refined, and useful?
We’ll encourage you to hold Family Home Morning, not “school,” with your little ones, emphasizing music, art, storytelling, symbolism, and nature. We’ll encourage individual versions of the School of the Prophets for older students and adults. And we’ll encourage family projects — building a house, serving at the shelter, making music together. Strengthen the family first, then the scholarship can be added.
Old friends Oliver DeMille, LuJean Livingston, and Jack Monnett will speak to us again. (Our beloved Brother Reed Benson has been ill, so we don’t know yet if he’ll be there.) Lorraine Goodrich, who you met last year, will return to talk about family identities. Janeen Brady, who wrote the songs many of you grew up on, will teach us how music enhances learning. Artist Linda Christensen, who paints temple murals, will introduce us to teaching symbolism. Two great dads, Paul Mero, President of the Sutherland Institute, and Scott Brady, producer of an annual Constitutional pageant, will talk about their roles as homeschool fathers. You’ll meet Jim Kennard from Food For Everyone who says your children can learn to garden. And more... . . .
