I would have a life outside of school
0:08
[Music]
0:10
hello hello hello look at me I’ve been
0:13
fresh I’ve been walking with my savior
0:15
yes I’m trying to do my best guess I’m
0:17
just like a boss trying to shake a body
0:19
flat when you see me never stress when
0:21
you see me see me see me you say hello
0:23
hello recently I shared a video of our
0:25
homeschool tour he that broke down her
0:28
philosophies in homeschool and her best
0:31
practices and today we’re going to show
0:33
you what really happens during
0:35
homeschool
0:36
one of the harder things to do is keep
0:39
the kids on task and sometimes I try to
0:41
come in to be extra reinforcement
0:44
but today I was also helping with school
0:47
you’re searching for gold
0:49
okay what you’re gonna do with that
0:52
I’m gonna bite you can go panning for
0:55
gold what’s panning mean so if you find
0:58
sand that should have gold particles you
1:00
can rinse with it rinse it rinse it and
1:02
get all the gold out of it and then you
1:04
can put it all together and make one
1:06
gold Clump maybe we can go painting for
1:08
those yay
1:11
yeah so we have plates put them on we
1:15
have Waters so can we do it so we have
1:18
to go in nature like on a hike somewhere
1:19
where Mom goes you know Bingham Canyon
1:22
is in Utah do you remember when we went
1:23
on that hike Zion National Park and you
1:25
were complaining the whole time and I
1:27
said Oh you mean on our road trip yeah
1:30
that’s where you could find gold there
1:32
somewhere like that we got to go on
1:34
another road trip and then we can look
1:35
for gold
1:37
okay it’s funny how forgetful my kids
1:39
can be
1:40
the Orion literally said on our road
1:42
trip that he was having one of the worst
1:44
day of my life but now since he sees
1:46
gold as an option
1:47
he wants to go back
1:49
but his brother Theo
1:51
I don’t think he’s gonna go for it so
1:53
the first step is to convince him you
1:55
got to convince your brother to go on a
1:57
road trip yeah
1:58
that’s
2:05
dad says we could get a big RV man you
2:08
don’t want to go all you want to do is
2:09
find rocks
2:10
I want to thank gold what day why does
2:13
it matter what day because I don’t want
2:15
to miss out on School what
2:19
what we could do school on the road
2:21
that’s why we homeschool he said no I
2:26
eat dude Uriah
2:29
[Music]
2:31
come back
2:32
okay when we write a sentence
2:35
the first letter should be what
2:39
all right and it should end with no what
2:44
over here
2:48
um over here I said no balloons in the
2:52
classroom why not why because you know I
2:55
can’t stand balloons we often get asked
2:58
the question
2:59
why do you homeschool and I think that
3:02
question is very important one we have
3:04
to understand that my wife is an
3:06
educator so she has a particular skill
3:08
when it comes to making worksheets
3:11
organizing documents keeping track of
3:14
curriculum scheduling and Etc but here
3:16
are a few more reasons why we’ve chosen
3:18
to homeschool one it allows us to
3:20
control the schedule two we can teach
3:22
our kids at their own skill level we
3:25
don’t have to keep up with the speed of
3:26
the rest of the class we can move at our
3:28
own pace because of our lifestyle we
3:30
travel quite often and this allows us to
3:32
learn and travel at the same time four
3:34
we can choose our own curriculum five it
3:38
allows the kids to experience different
3:40
things as extracurricular we use things
3:43
like parkour and gymnastics and hockey
3:48
in other sports as their physical
3:50
education 6. it gives Yvette a depth of
3:53
understanding and how each child learns
3:55
and seven it allows the kids to bond
3:57
with their siblings
4:01
stop
4:05
[Music]
4:12
give me my pencil you okay
4:15
[Music]
4:18
all right now what is that it’s the same
4:20
thing you better run away
4:23
you just talked to me this morning about
4:25
how you want to get gold how you want to
4:27
collect golden it’s going to get you
4:28
money are you going to know how much
4:30
money you’re gonna get
4:31
it so let’s be smart okay
4:36
well you may not sell the gold but if
4:38
you want money you’re gonna have to sell
4:39
the gold you can’t just have gold and be
4:41
rich
4:43
I because that doesn’t equal wealth you
4:46
have to be able to turn it into that
4:48
okay okay so that then you can buy a
4:51
house you can buy whatever you want 20.
4:54
