Glad to see you here! You can read this article in our new home.
Balance is everything. I believe it is especially important to remember why learning and fun are both essential when it comes to education. By balance I mean making space for academics, sports, meditation and art in your child’s learning process. I’m sure you have heard about the right-brain/left-brain theory, which, thankfully, has long been debunked by scientists. I was never quite sure which category I fell into, but I was very sure about not wanting to be labeled. School had a way of making me feel inadequate or curtly glorified {would happen rarely, like when I would be assigned to watch the class and list on the board the names of students who were misbehaving} because in school you’re either smart or not smart, creative or not creative, helpful or not very helpful. I first read about theories of the brain in grade school while leafing through Reader’s Digest. I thought, if left-brained people were logical and right-brained people were creative, then which brained person on earth was I?
I never made it to any honors list because I never paid attention to my school books, but I was such a bookworm that I could stay in my room and finish reading three books in a row, or write a unicorn-inspired story in my DIY notebook. I’m bringing this up because as a child I felt like my interests were of no importance to the world. So I loved to write or sketch or do several homemade projects, but my grades in Math were always hanging by the hair and my other grades were just a-okay, so I was not a Section A-worthy student. No matter how the school would explain that the sections didn’t necessarily reflect the not-smart and far-from-smart labeling so as not to upset parents, I don’t think it was any coincidence either that those who flunked in some subjects were all in Section C and those were a bit better than that were in Section B. I was never upset about jumping back and forth between Section A and B, but what bothered me was how much importance was especially given to Math, Science, other academic subjects and the study of religion, plus how grades were treated like the Holy Grail of our existence as students.
I was, at one point, told by a teacher that unless I improved my grades first, then I should refrain from doing “other things” because these stopped me from becoming smart. I could not, for the life of me, become the smart student that I ought to be, so I continued writing. When I graduated from high school, I was given the Creative Writing Award. I was the only one who got that award, so I left my alma mater with a toothy smile nonetheless.
I’m very happy that the world now has a fresh perspective on learning especially where homeschooling is concerned. Homeschooling in the Philippines is something that a lot of parents are still afraid to try for fear of not having enough patience, not having enough time or not being knowledgeable enough to teach. I talked about this in my article, “20 Reasons Why You Should Not Homeschool” and you might want to check that out on your next tea break. 
Since there is always a brighter side, the brighter side says the numbers are growing. More and more parents are homeschooling knowing how it’s benefiting the children and the entire family.
In the words of Dana Gioia, American poet, writer and former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, “There are some truths about life that can be expressed only as stories, or songs, or images. Art delights, instructs, consoles. It educates our emotions.” He also described art as an irreplaceable way of expressing and understanding the world. We know this to be true because in our personal lives we’ve been through times when we’ve depended on art, in its diverse forms, like it was our mother. People write poems to express all kinds of emotions; painting, drawing, sketching and also dancing are considered therapeutic; the benefits of music and/or creating it are multitudinous.Why is art good for all of us?
In his book Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness of Well-Being, father of positive psychology, Martin Seligman, said that the five critical elements of psychological well-being include engagement, positive emotion, accomplishment, meaning and positive relationships. This was also discussed by Michael Friedman in his article “Art Can be Good for Mental Health” in Huffpost Healthy Living. It’s obvious, but I’ll say it anyway: Art lays out a foundation for all of these elements. Art gives us the chance to reap benefits from doing things we truly enjoy.
What benefits kids get from doing art
- They are encouraged to think creatively and do not feel limited because an analytical problem is too difficult and there’s too much pressure to get to a correct answer
- Art has no right or wrong, so it helps build confidence
- Doing artwork is fun, so learning is fun
- They become better at analysis and interpretation
- It’s easier {and again more fun} learning about different cultures around the world through art
- Feelings and emotions can be expressed not just through words
- Problem-solving skills and critical-thinking skills are practiced whether they are aware of it or not
- It doesn’t feel like a task to connect with others
- They become more profound and vivid with descriptions
- It gives them enough time to discover their own strengths and styles
- Studies have shown that kids who are encouraged to do visual art have higher chances of creating patent-worthy materials later on in life
- They develop originality
- They become better observers
Honoring Your Kids’ Artwork
Kids naturally have less inhibitions when it comes to self expression. They don’t need a profound reason to do art, they just love it and it makes them feel good. It is important that we honor their artwork because it is to them what your job is to you {provided that it is a job you love}. Most of the time, and especially with younger children, they draw, paint, create artwork to give them as gifts to their parents. So don’t fret about the mountains of paper that you have to put away on your free time or the drawings of stick people on your newly painted wall. It’s just their way of saying, “Look, I made something really beautiful for you!”Today, I would like to honor my four-year-old daughter’s drawings.

The first step to homeschooling is knowing what the best homeschooling approach is for you.
We have been on a homeschooling journey for almost five
years now beginning with our son, who was nine then, and now with our four-year
old daughter who, on her own, decided to hop in our alternative learning
vehicle when she turned three. More and more parents are beginning to see the
benefits of homeschooling and are trying to discover important aspects about
it.
People have asked us these questions:
- Why do you homeschool?
- How do you homeschool?
- What kind of grading system do you use?
- How do you know what level your child is in?
- When do you level up?
For now, I would like to address the second question. You
don’t have to have an orthodox approach to understanding the different kinds of
homeschooling methods, but you somehow have to understand just enough to know
which one would work best for your family.
Here are a few things to consider:
- Who will be the main teacher at home?
- How much support will the main teacher be getting from his or her partner?
- How much time are you willing to spend on a homeschooling day?
- How much do you understand about homeschooling?
- What do you think is the best approach for your kids?
The last two are very important because that is where you will
begin your homeschooling journey. If you find yourself totally overwhelmed and
you feel like jumping off the cliff on the first few weeks, please hang in
there. All homeschooling moms have been through it and I’m happy to tell you
that (according to what I’ve read) we’re all alive, happy, still overwhelmed at
times, but definitely glad we made the decision to homeschool.
Our family has tried several approaches. Everything worked
out well for us, but at the start of our school year this 2015, we felt that
the “Eclectic” approach is the best one to use for Cole, who will be turning 14
in barely four months.
This is the reason why we call it a journey. I have
mentioned in my previous articles that there is no one perfect method in
homeschooling, or education, for that matter. In your first few months, you
might find it helpful to look into different approaches and try ones
that you deem is suitable for your needs as a family. Homeschooling is about
harnessing your creativity and doing that away from the rigid (and sometimes inapposite)
view of society.
There are so many approaches, but I chose ones that I am
familiar with and are popular among homeschooling families.
Five Popular Approaches to Homeschooling
Unit Studies
One great thing about homeschooling is that it allows your
kids to learn based on their interests. Unit Studies support that by tying
their interests with subject areas such as science, history, math, art, social
studies, spelling and reading. This approach acknowledges the fact that
learning is more successful if it’s based on a learner’s interest.
If a learner is interested in, for example, Greek Mythology,
he or she will have enthusiasm to read books and articles on Greek Mythology,
write journals and papers based on it, do projects, create artwork and learn
Math (three-dimensional, circles and triangles, etc.) from Euclid’s teachings.
According to History for Kids, there are still modern-day mathematicians who
began studying geometry from Euclid’s books.
Eclectic/Relaxed Approach
This approach is very popular among homeschooling families.
After all, the main reason why parents homeschool their kids is to make the
most out of their learning. Workbooks for reading, math and science are often used,
and for other subject areas, an unschooling approach is taken. Since the
homeschoolers are not enrolled to a program, the parents have the liberty to
choose books that they deem are helpful to their children’s education and
activities that are relevant to their chosen subject areas. Homeschooling dot com
says, “The advantage of the Eclectic method is that the parent feels that the
"important" subjects are being covered thoroughly.”
The word “eclectic” or “relaxed” may concern some people a
bit, but rest assured that learners are expected to meet educational goals.
Unschooling
This approach is purely interest-based, child-led and
natural learning. There are no school books, no curriculum to follow, no
routines, no pressure. Learners follow their interests and if there ever is a
to-accomplish list, it is one made by them. They learn math, english, science
by observing and discovering things in their surroundings.
Founder of the unschooling movement, John Holt said:
Unschooling, for lack of a better term (until people start to accept living as part and parcel of learning), is the natural way to learn. However, this does not mean unschoolers do not take traditional classes or use curricular materials when the student, or parents and children together, decide that this is how they want to do it. Learning to read or do quadratic equations are not "natural" processes, but unschoolers nonetheless learn them when it makes sense to them to do so, not because they have reached a certain age or are compelled to do so by arbitrary authority. Therefore it isn't unusual to find unschoolers who are barely eight years old studying astronomy or who are ten years old and just learning to read. (Teach Your Own: the John Holt Book of Unschooling)
Charlotte Mason
The name homeschooling is often associated with Charlotte
Mason, a British educator who believed that children are not empty sacks to be
filled with information, but that they are able to deal with ideas and
knowledge. The CM approach focus on exposure to great and noble ideas through
books, music, poetry art and music. It also includes nature study, copywork or
handwriting practice, habit training, the use of living books as opposed to
text books, memorization and proficiency in a foreign language.
To a certain point, CM is similar with the classical
approach and very different from child-led unschooling since this approach is
teacher-centered. Charlotte Mason created “A List of Attainments” for
six-year-old and 12-year-old children.
Classical
Long before the conceptualization of formal schooling,
homeschooling was the method by which people were educated. The world’s
greatest thinkers and artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Albert
Einstein, Douglas MacArthur, Abraham Lincoln and a kilometric-long list of
names that follow were homeschooled. Other famous people we know from history
were either self-taught or got their education from home.
The classical method works on Trivium, or the five tools in
learning that include reason, record, research, relate, and rhetoric. According
to the Homeschool Diner’s Guide to Classical Homeschooling, “The Grammar Stage
(K - 6th) focuses on memorization and general "gathering" of
knowledge in each subject, The Logic Stage (7th - 8th) focuses on a child's developing abilities to
understand the abstract, see cause and effect, use formal logic, analysis and
criticism. The Rhetoric Stage (9th - 12th) is when students concentrate on
using their knowledge and reason to express their thoughts in clear, eloquent
writing and speech.”
As parents, we tend to aim for a perfect education, a
perfect household, a perfect everything. You have to
remember that at the end of the day, what really matters is a happy, healthy
family. Children who are treated well at home, who are given all the love and support
will naturally be interested in taking in knowledge.

After a week of ticking things off a long to-do list (I have both an actual one and one that exists only inside my head), homeschooling parents like us like to take it slow. One of the things that I usually do is to pick up my current read and play catch up.
I also like to breathe in as much inspiration as I can, so I read quotes from some of my favorite writers, personalities and people who matter.
I’m sharing with you some of them right here. Who knows, you yourself might need a little pick-me-up soon.
1 . “So you think the best way to prepare kids for the real world is to bus them to a government institution where they're forced to spend all day isolated with children of their own age and adults who are paid to be with them, placed in classes that are too big to allow more than a few minutes of personal interaction with the teacher-then spend probably an hour or more everyday waiting in lunch lines, car lines, bathroom lines, recess lines, classroom lines, and are forced to progress at the speed of the slowest child in class?” ~ Steven James, Placebo
2. The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda - a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make ‘good' citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens. ~ H. L. Mencken
3. “Change the world one "what-about-socialization" question at a time, my friend.”~ Jamerrill Stewart
4. “Break the teacher certification monopoly so anyone with something valuable to teach can teach it. Nothing is more important than this.”~ Kytka Hilmar-Jezek
5. “We can get too easily bogged down in the academic part of homeschooling, a relatively minor part of the whole, which is to raise competent, caring, literate, happy people.”~ Diane Flynn Keith
6. “There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.”~ Mahatma Gandhi
7. “I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays and have things arranged for them that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas.” ~ Agatha Christie
8. “Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire.”~ W.B. Yeats
9. “Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep herding.”~ Ezra Pound
10. “What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children's growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn't a school at all.”~ John Holt
11. “Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child's nature.”~ Charlotte M. Mason
12. Reward and punishment is the lowest form of education. ~ Zhuang Zhou
13. The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination. ~Albert Einstein

We’re often asked about our life as a homeschooling family (yes, we do get the “oh-you’re-that-zany-bunch” look), and boy, do we enjoy every minute answering questions. It does not only give us the opportunity to share the joys, challenges and the mad moments we go through, it also opens doors for us to get to know more people. We value what we learn from other parents.
The loss of faith in educational systems (around the world) is a sentiment shared by people that we’ve met during our travels. A young couple from Europe told me during my recent solo trip to Cambodia that they’d do what we do when they become parents. They, too, believe that there is no better place for the kids to learn but from home.
I received an e-mail from a mom telling me that she has been considering homeschooling her four-year old daughter, but is doubtful that she has the capacity to do it. It is true that homeschooling is a colossal, demanding and a challenging full-time job, but the benefits you reap are simply priceless. You have probably heard that a thousand times from other homeschooling parents and that’s how you know there’s some weight to it.
But homeschooling is not for everyone, and by that we don’t mean that it has anything to do with your perceived personal capacity. What it really demands is your dedication. Let’s spell that out again. It’s D-E-D-I-C-A-T-I-O-N. Don’t rush into the decision to homeschool. Do your (intense) research and ask as many questions as you can. That’s what I did before plunging in four years ago.
The perspectives people have on education, based on culture and experience, are varied and interesting.

So why should you NOT homeschool?
- You don’t have a husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner
who can do shifts with you homeschooling the kid/s.
- You think you need a husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner
to pull it off. (There are single moms/dads who have been doing a great
job homeschooling.)
- You have a full-time job, you work 12 hours a day and
you come home every night looking like an apocalypse is happening outside
your house that your kids don’t know about.
- You enjoy leaving the house at 6 a.m. to get to your 9
a.m. job without getting late, and without killing anyone on your way to
your office.
- Your level of patience is anything from too little to
nil. (But I don’t know how that’s an excuse because I’m exactly the same.)
- You care too much about what other people say and you’re
afraid of how your family, neighbors and friends will react if you told
them you’re homeschooling. (This one is tough. Don’t expect banners and cheerful
greetings the moment you tell them. Let’s go back to the scenario of the
apocalypse.)
- You seriously think reading is for boring people.
Exclusively.
- You’re least entertained by historical facts,
literature and science.
- You are convinced that only parents with A+ grades in
school can homeschool their kids. (Very far from the truth.)
- You don’t enjoy watching movies.
- You don’t like going out for explorations and you
abhor travelling.
- You don’t like watching the sky and planes flying by
because you think it’s a waste of time.
- Whenever you look up at the night sky you think it’s
such a boring space and not worth marveling at.
- Music bores you to death.
- You’d rather spend time elsewhere than with the kids.
- You are paranoid about how your kids can get to
college. (We may have the answer to that here.)
- You believe that teachers were born to teach and you
were born…to not teach?
- You believe that stock-market-like competition in the classroom
is healthy. Very healthy.
- You think that your kids will be socially impaired if
they learn from home. (Does your home resemble Alcatraz?)
- You are
comfortable at the thought of your school-age kids spending eight hours a day with
other people and possibly hours on the road to and from school, rain or
shine.
There are so many reasons, and valid ones at that, why people are afraid to start homeschooling. The number one fear that people have (based from what we always hear and what we’re told) is that they don’t know how to teach their children. If you’re a parent and you say that out loud a few times, you will start noticing how odd that sounds.

Families who are considering homeschooling have one major (and
very valid) concern -- what happens to the kids when they’re ready to go to
college? Generally, the process is similar for both traditionally schooled and
homeschooled kids, except that there might be a bit of difference with the colleges' requirements.
Homeschooled students don’t fly straight to Hogwarts after
high school -- they go to the same universities that traditionally schooled
kids go. (FYI to those who still ask what the future looks like for kids who are
educated at home.)
Some parents opt to homeschool through high school without enrolling at a DepEd homeschool provider. There are schools that administer DepEd-accredited Diagnostic Tests. I called up the Victory Elijah Christian College (VESS) and was able to get valuable information about the process to be accomplished prior to taking the tests for Math, Science and English. We started homeschooling our son in 5th grade and he is now (in regular school's K-12 term) in 10th grade, so if we want to enroll him in a school or a DepEd-affiliated homeschool program, he has to take a diagnostic test for each subject for each grade level that he did not attend school. The same will happen if we continue homeschooling until he's ready to go to college. {I provided the contact details of VESS at the end of this article.)
The Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT) administered by DepEd is also required for homeschooled students. They have to be certified eligible before a college will allow them to take their entrance exams. Requirements for PEPT are detailed in DepEd's website.
We got curious and called up the University of the Philippines (Diliman) Registrar’s Office to ask what the requirements were for homeschooled students. UP requires homeschooled students to have final grades for three consecutive years preceding graduation from a Department of Education (DepEd) affiliated school. There are a number of DepEd-affiliated homeschooling schools in the Philippines now so there is no need to enroll your kids in traditional schools if you’re aiming to get those final grades.

We just have to mention that the admissions officer that we talked to was patient in answering all our queries. He even offered that the requirements might eventually change because more and more families are homeschooling now. Just the acknowledgement of that set out the fireworks for us.
I used the word “curious” above because we aren’t worried
about college. We leave it to our kids to decide if they want to go to college later
on or not. There are career pursuits that don’t require a college degree. I
know it’s not a popular thought among parents, but then this is us.
Just to be clear about it, there is no one formula that works in homeschooling and that is precisely why you bring home the education -- to bring the creativity back to learning. There are different types of homeschooling. We have done a cross between literature-based homeschooling and homeschooling with curriculum. We, however, found joy in unschooling, also known as interest-based learning and natural learning, a style that allows your children to develop their potentials by supporting their interests.
According to Earl Stevens of The Natural Child Project, “Unschooling
isn't a recipe, and therefore it can't be explained in recipe terms. It is
impossible to give unschooling directions for people to follow so that it can
be tried for a week or so to see if it works. Unschooling isn't a method, it is
a way of looking at children and at life. It is based on trust that parents and
children will find the paths that work best for them - without depending on
educational institutions, publishing companies, or experts to tell them what to
do.”
Although the number of homeschooling families is growing here
in the Philippines, the educational system has yet to recognize and standardize
college admission requirements for homeschoolers. Besides being worried about
how to go about homeschooling from day to day and what to do with the
curriculum, parents are worried about their kids being “displaced” after high
school. I know because I have been asked and I’m glad to be back with an answer—at
least from one of the universities that we have here in the Philippines.
A lot of people have been asking us about this that is why
we are seeking for answers. Once we have new information from other
universities, we will let you know. Pronto!
It would also be best for you to call up schools yourselves
to answer your questions, which we were not able to detail in this article.
Would love to hear about the information you’ve gathered.

I was recently given the opportunity to talk to a small group about homeschooling at the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication. The questions that came after my presentation were all wonderful (and very encouraging). Maybe you have questions on homeschooling, too, that you'd want to send my way.
It's never too late to start bringing education home.
I would love to share my presentation with you. If you want a copy, please leave a comment here or e-mail me at cure4mondays@gmail.com
