5 Struggles Former School Teachers Face When Starting Homeschooling

5 Struggles Former School Teachers Face When Starting Homeschooling
  1. Adjusting Schedule & Routine
    Homeschooling can be very different from teaching in a public school setting. Former public school teachers may struggle with the change in routine and schedule when transitioning to a homeschool setting. They may need to adapt to a different pace and style of instruction and find a new way to balance their work and personal lives.
  2. Adapting to a Different Teaching Style
    Public school teachers are trained to teach large groups of students with different learning styles and abilities. When starting homeschooling, they may need to adapt to a more individualized approach and become comfortable teaching their own children one-on-one.
  3. Finding Appropriate Curriculum and Resources
    Homeschooling requires finding appropriate curricula and resources for each child’s needs, which can be a challenge for former public school teachers. They may be accustomed to using standardized textbooks and lesson plans, but homeschooling requires a more flexible and customized approach to meet each child’s unique needs.
  4. Coping with Isolation
    Homeschooling can be a solitary experience, and former public school teachers may miss the social interactions and support networks that come with teaching in a public school setting. They may need to find ways to connect with other homeschooling families, participate in local co-ops or support groups, or utilize online resources to build a community of fellow homeschoolers.
  5. Balancing Different Roles and Responsibilities
    As a homeschooling parent, former public school teachers may need to balance their responsibilities as a teacher, parent, and caregiver. They may need to adjust their expectations and find ways to manage their time effectively to ensure that their children receive a quality education while also fulfilling their other roles and responsibilities.

Since West Salem has NEVER CHARGED for the use of their facility (i.e. no rent, utilities, water, internet, or paper product fees; ONLY a nominal cleaning fee), there will be no facility or maintenance fees required. In order to respect your time and resources, we plan to offer regular lunches for a small charge with all proceeds going to West Salem Baptist Church as our love offering to them for such a generous gift.

Roanoke Salem Homeschool Academy is NOT a ministry of West Salem Baptist Church. While there is a close relationship between the leadership of both organizations, any statement from Roanoke Salem Homeschool Academy does not mean nor imply that West Salem Baptist endorses, agrees, or prescribes the view from RSHA leadership. The relationship between the two organizations is that of landlord (West Salem Baptist) and tenant (Roanoke Salem Homeschool Academy).
