Rest In Peace, JTG. So grateful for your wisdom and bravery in speaking out about education and schooling ✨

“Let them be. Three simple words, but one very difficult action.
Do you have a hard time letting kids “be”? Do you think you aren’t being an effective parent or teacher if you are not constantly redirecting or telling kids something? Trust me on this one. 🙌🏼 They are fine without all the input, meddling, and adult projections. ”

Not only are they fine - they are better than fine! So hard to relinquish control but so worth it ...

You know how people like to ask kids what they want to be when they grow up?

Well I was thinking about this while washing dishes 😂 and believe we need to reframe our questions.

Let us support who they are RIGHT NOW. 💖

Same concerns/forward thinking spreading across the pond as well ...

Parents remove kids from school because they 'educate for jobs that won't exist' Jo and Paul have decided to 'unschool' their two young children by encouraging them to learn what they want to learn.

Shifting the way we think about “subjects” like math and history can help shift perspective on learning.

https://www.self-directed.org/uncategorized/ways-of-thinking/

Ways of Thinking, Not School Subjects | Alliance for Self-Directed Education 'Subjects' like math and history are less subjects and more ways of thinking. Thus, when folks worry about how self-directed learners will learn math or history, the 'ways of thinking' approach makes the answer more obvious.

Feeling this today ...

We are excited to announce we are FULL for our fall session! So many great local home educating families will be connecting with our community in the coming weeks for learning and exploring together.

Check back with us for possible openings for future sessions if interested.

We will be holding one last information night this evening for prospective families before our fall session begins next month! Please join us tonight if you are considering registering. (See Event for details)

We are excited to share that we are working out an agreement to utilize Bucks County Audubon Society at Honey Hollow for Fall! This space offers so much in terms of nature exploration and hands-on learning, including 6 miles of trails, an organic vegetable garden, a new medicinal garden, Audubon Pond, meadows, forests, agricultural fields, and the Honey Hollow Creek and we look forward to the possibilities!

Another opportunity this evening to connect with some wonderful local home educating families - thank you for coming out to chat! Our enrollment is moving right along and we are excited for Fall! We still have room for additional learners at this time but cannot say for sure how long that will be the case. If you have any questions or would like to connect before enrolling, please reach out.

https://www.hivelearningcoop.org/registration/

Now open! Online registration. Complete via mobile or desktop. Message or comment with any questions/issues. We have tested before release and then have started to receive actual registrations this morning so it seems to be working- hooray!

Thank you to those who were able to join us this evening! We were so glad to share our vision and we look forward to further discussions in the weeks and months to come, as we create and shape a space for shared learning and growing.

Also, please feel free to share our website/FB page with others who may be interested.

Any questions can be directed to us by way of our FB page, website (https://www.hivelearningcoop.org/contact/), or email ([email protected]); though we don't promise to have all the answers, we will do our best.

If you were not able to attend tonight and may be interested for the Fall, please do note that space will be limited and registration will be opening July 2. *Attendance this evening certainly was not mandatory for participation in the Fall, but please do get in touch so we can explore if The Hive will be a fit for your family*
