When will you be updated the banner with the new children and Janna’s spouse?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know. That’s all I’ve heard about lately!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice, but I don't want to know their weekly schedule so I'll skip the video. I hope all is going well with her pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteHow come you don’t add Jana husband and another who got married in last 12 months
ReplyDeleteMondays are school days for the rest of the world. I didn't hear much talk about spending all day doing schoolwork on that day or any other days, like other kids do. Another generation of Duggars who don't prioritize academics. Don't say, "Oh it's home school, you can learn more in an hour or two than a whole day. You can learn while at the park." Nonsense. Kids that age should have 6 hours of structured school per day, with both academics and social skills (learning to get along with others outside your family). You know Ben and Jessa aren't doing that. Their state isn't overseeing anything either. Good luck to the kids and their future on the family used car lot or behind a bulldozer, because that's where they're headed, along with housework and diaper changing. It's a cycle that nobody is breaking.
ReplyDeleteI can agree that many states have lack oversight of homeschooling. But, as a retired public school teacher with 35 years of experience, I disagree that children need 6 hours of "structured" school per day, especially if that structure requires them to be sitting at a desk most of the time. Some of the best learning experiences I recall having with my students were those that got us out of the building, whether it was to a museum or a nature trail. Our school was fortunate to be close to a state nature preserve and the opportunities for learning were endless. Oftentimes, the best lessons came from the unexpected. We took those experiences back to school and wrote about them. It wasn't just reading from a textbook and completing worksheets.
Delete5:25. Not everyone is cut out to homeschool their children, however, people like Jessa and Ben seem to be so organized in training their children. Right now there is so much discussion on how behind our children are in public school..and how low the scores are on reading and math. I’m sure if her children were tested with the public school kids they would score a year ahead. Because of Jessa’s organization skills, she can use their extra time for confidence building activities like the three oldest children taking piano lessons and swimming lessons, broadening their social outreach. The club the boys are in with their dad is a great way to memorize scripture and meet new friends on a social level.
DeleteHome schooled students get a lot more one on one attention and guidance, which can mean less class time to learn the material. Ben attended college and I believe Ben and Jessa will allow their kids to seek their own future while still encouraging a conservative/Christ directed life.
DeletePublic school kids attend for six hours a day, this includes breakfast (in some schools), lunch, two recess periods and gym class. Less than 3 hours is spent in the classroom. Don't get me wrong, I believe in public schools for learning to get along with all types of people...yep even those who believe differently. Low income students also gain access to technology and learn to use devices their family may not be able to afford, field trips and excursions that may not be possible if one parent works and they only have one vehicle.
5:25 as Jessa said in The video, Ben works Tuesday through Sunday. Monday is their family day.
DeleteSo impressed to hear Jessa’s update, what an organized, energetic woman! So nice to hear all the confidence building activities the children are involved in. The Trail night with Ben is such a great way to memorize the Bible and be part of a club, I love the outfits! So great to see the kids are taking swimming lessons and piano lessons. What a lovely set of dishes you got for breakfast and dinner, and even candles!..great idea to put the food in serving dishes and training the kids to pass the food around. And to think you still have time in the morning to read and exercise. So nice you can share time with your friend once a week to discuss the book. Jessa and Ben would be perfect for sharing their parenting skills in a group session..but sounds like they are busy enough giving attention to their own kids…and to think Jessa home schools, amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think Jessa and Ben are on track to have the most kids if they continue the pattern of having a new baby once every two years, thus surpassing Josh and Anna’s brood of seven kids.
ReplyDeleteNaw. My money is on Jed and Katey. They already have four in four years of marriage.
DeleteNothing beats watching the Seewalds eat dinner. LOL
