Why Homeschooling Alone Isn’t Enough (And What To Do Instead)

Do you want your kids to love learning—and become independent, capable adults who can handle life?

Most parents want extraordinary results but stick to ordinary systems. In this video, Greg & Rachel explain why comfortable, convenient methods don’t produce extraordinary results and why true education is lighting a fire, not filling a bucket. You’ll see how to expand beyond the home with worldschooling and real-world experiences, use modern tools for a world-class education, and reclaim both influence and joy in your family culture.

Key Takeaways

✅ Method determines outcome—change methods to change results.

✅ Worldschooling turns lessons into experiences kids never forget.

✅ Raise independent thinkers through self-directed learning.

✅ Time with your kids = influence (quantity and quality).

✅ Use AI/online platforms to access the best teachers on earth.

✅ Save “academic rigor” for the right season—after love of learning ignites.
