À propos de cet audio
Homeschooling is now mainstream. Even a few years ago, educating children at home earned suspicion, revulsion, and worried phone calls to social services. Today, homeschooling is met with a nonchalant, “Oh yeah? We’re doing that too".
Unfortunately, the new wave of homeschooling brings with it broken learning tools, outdated teaching methods, and a counterproductive vision for what education ought to be. As a result, many homeschooling families find themselves recreating the dysfunctional public school classroom at home, complete with mandatory academic studies, strict grading, and neglect of the child’s true gifts and interests.
In Kids Don’t Need School, veteran homeschool parents and community leaders Jonathan and Adriana Prescott lay out a radical new approach to home education that empowers children to love learning, build real-world skills, and take charge of their future—all before age 12.
Specifically, the book covers:
- The untold history of tests and grades.
- What to do about discipline and punishment.
- How to strengthen the parent-child relationship.
- How the traditional classroom steals children’s agency.
- What to teach your child at every stage of development.
- Intuitive ways to notice and nurture your child’s latent skills.
- How to raise a competent, self-confident, well-adjusted child.
- How to know when to “back off” and let your child self-teach.
- Little-known resources to help your child master any subject quickly.
Whether you’re seriously considering home education for the first time or you’ve been doing this for a while, Kids Don’t Need School will help you deepen your relationship with your child, build mutual respect in your household, and give your child the elite education they need to succeed in an uncertain world.

During the past five years, homeschooling rates have been on the rise and show no signs of slowing. But many parents lack confidence, questioning whether they are doing it right (or whether they should take the plunge at all). With so many voices offering conflicting advice, it's hard to know where to start and where to go from there.

Today in the West, many consider the church to be dead or dying. Christianity is seen as outdated, bigoted, and responsible for many of society’s problems. This leaves many believers embarrassed about their faith and many outsiders wary of religion. But what if the Christian message is not the enemy of our modern Western values, but the very thing that makes sense of them? In this fascinating book, Glen Scrivener takes listeners on a journey to discover how the teachings of Jesus not only turned the ancient world upside down, but continue to underpin the way we think.

Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be. In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today.
