Mastering Math Without Fear

Mom Delights Homemaking and Homeschooling ·

2026/04/09

Based on a widely-circulated graduation test from 1895, children of the past routinely mastered arithmetic without overwhelm, expensive curriculum, or years of frustration. So what changed? In this episode we break down a radically simple, time-tested approach to teaching math that actually works which I've discovered teaching our 15 children. You’ll discover why waiting for readiness matters, how basic arithmetic can be learned faster than you think, and how to replace confusion with clarity using

So much harm has been done through our modern educational system. So many people are not being taught the basics. Even students who graduate with honors have trouble comprehending texts beyond the seventh-grade level.Why is this?Because our education system has been gradually dumbing us all down, and it has been deliberate.But we don’t have to become silenced victims; we can take things into our own hands and take part in the current learning revival right in the comfort of our own homes.Today I

Going Back to Simple Education For a Strong...

Mom Delights Homemaking and Homeschooling ·

2026/03/20

In 2025, the United States spent 6 percent of the Gross Domestic Product on education. Since the total GDP was 30.62 trillion dollars, that means the amount we laid out for education in America was a whopping $1,837,280,000,000! (That’s a lot of paychecks for a lot of people needing to make their mortgage payments, which means this has become a large part of our economy.)Schooling in America not only eats up money, it eats up time. It takes six to eight hours a day for 180 days a year, for 13 or

Why I Decided to Put God First

This world does not need more educated idiots.What is an “educated idiot” you ask?In a sense specific to our age, it is someone who jumps through all the academic hoops to become “approved” by globalist culture so they can go on to support the work of internationalism.In a more general sense, it is a person who grows up to accept and promote the lie that the intellect is supreme over all other portions of living beings (and it is often used as the deciding factor for sentience; as in, “I think,

The Lazy Genius Way to Homeschool

2026/02/18

Did you know that the first compulsory education law, passed in 1852 in Massachusetts, only required children from the ages of eight to fourteen to be in school for 12 weeks in the year, with only six of these being sequential?Did you also know that students of that time enjoyed a literacy rate far above that of our modern day?We’ve been trained to believe educating takes six to eight concentrated hours of academics every day for five days every week for 40 weeks out of the year.That’s not true at

How to Get Free From Public School Tyranny

Mom Delights Homemaking and Homeschooling ·

2026/02/12

Homeschooling is so simple, simple, simple.Recently, I was reading an article which showcases this idea. It went into great detail discussing whether the Socratic or the Charlotte Mason method was better for teaching literature, and I couldn’t help but think, “Why can’t we simply enjoy the book?”And here’s the truth I hope will set you free: You don’t need scholarly stacks of books and courses to understand how to educate your child.I’ve homeschooled our 15 children for over 36 years and done it

We are told that we need goals, that goals are a good thing.Attila the Hun had goals, as did Napoleon and Hitler. They had their five year and ten year plans, didn’t they? (Well, maybe not so much Attila, but definitely Napoleon and Hitler.)The folks meeting in Davos, Switzerland definitely have had their goals, such as diminishing the population and turning us all into drones—but I am so glad they will never become successful!This is going really, really out there, I know, but I think it makes a

Learn the simple system that helped my large family stay organized—stations and flows. Some of my children were naturally tidy, others… not so much!

There are so many theories about education—and almost all of them are as dumb as rocks. Why?
