Just starting homeschool? Do this and leave the formal writing/maths until the recommended six weeks or so. It could be more, it could be less. Learning to trust yourself and your children takes time. See my podcasts to help you get started (in Bio)

What can you do in your homeschooling curriculum to research and implement what your family can do, learn and take to the future about their food? A fundamental necessity to a healthy life. You get to choose your curriculum. Do it!

"...all ChatGPT really did was intensify our growing need to ask the question: Why read? What is it about sitting with a book, a quintessential experience of civilized life until very recently, that can’t be automated or replaced?..."

Good insight into media
💬 “If you dissolved NZ Herald and TVNZ into the ‘Ministry of Information’ nothing would change.” — Nathan Smith When coverage looks scripted, maybe it is. Why did legacy media only show up to smear dissenters, then vanish? 🎥 Watch here: https://t.co/80HrVlXmi9
