Outsourcing subjects! We outsource Science (every Monday), PE (Tuesdays and Thursday), we have CoOp every other week... Oy, homeschoolers are busy!

Ugh...it's so hard to find quality canadian geography and history curriculum. That's why I've started writing my own...I'm hoping to release it to the public before the new year!

I don't know how I came across your channel. But I'm kind of having a hard time with your homeschool curriculum. I am sure you left off a bunch of things, but you say you outsource PE by jiujitsu. That in no way compares to what my kids get from PE at their school. My kids all do a sport, and a lot of those things, in addition to going to public school.

Actually, according to the Ontario curriculum, students are required to have 20 minutes of Phys Ed a day. Which works out to 1 hour and 40 minutes a week. So 2 hours of jiu jitsu actually covers that. But that's not all the phys Ed my kids get, that's just the structured time. At co-op they do a variety of sports or activities as it changes every week. They also have 1-3 hours of free time outdoors almost every day. They also have seasonal activities like swimming, soccer, skating. So they do get way more physical activity. It's just nice to have a physical activity in their schedule so they get the direct instruction on a sport every week (I'm a choir director, so sports aren't my strong suit) And as a former teacher, I can also add that those 20 minutes daily, include a lot of things including seated health classes, dance and drama instruction, the time to get to and from the gym and the set up for that class. It's also one of the first subjects skipped if students are behind or misbehaving.

I also was public schooled as a kid and often my PE wasn’t even physically active. We did the mile once or twice a year and we occasionally played games. I also played sports and was in colorguard. PE in public school is really just ensuring the not athletic child also moves some. I think jujitsu is a great sport and definitely gets kids active. Homeschooling is just different from public school in general so things look different. My son is in kindergarten and he’s like any other boy, VERY active! lol. He gets in trouble less by being able to move more often. I know even from being a very active child myself and how much I got in trouble for not sitting still that my son would be in a lot more trouble if he was asked to sit at desks for longer periods of time with a recess and PE a few times a week. Since you did find this channel, I hope maybe some things pop up and some questions can be answered like they were for me before I even was interested in homeschooling myself!

this!!! All of this is true! Homeschooling is a totally different system, it's more like a way of life.

Maybe that was true a long time ago, it's not true any more. PE at my public school where I work is mandatory, and the teacher covers so much. Doing two hours of jui jitsu a week is great, but I think you'd be surprised at the level of instruction the kids are getting. It's also being exposed to so many things.

We can agree to disagree here. As a teacher, with a teacher husband, we know what the current reality of schooling is, the current expectations and what we're covering at home. Our kids are exposed to a variety of activities through co-ops, classes and activities at different points in the year. we cover health as a science unit and we get through as much as the public system, I assure you. The the truth is homeschooling looks ENTIRELY different system and doesn't look like school at all, and by design. We don't recreate school in our homes, we build something totally different, customized to our children's interests, skills, strengths and weaknesses. I'm happy with our system, our kids are happy and we're excited for what our kids will learn this year.
