SHOW TOPICS:

Yes, homeschooling conventions really exist. They are valuable for parents whether you homeschool or not, whether you can attend in person or not. In this episode, Tali and Scott share their experience as vendors and speakers at the 2024 GHC Cincinnati event.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:

There are multiple brands of homeschooling conventions. The one Tali and Scott attended was Great Homeschooling Conventions, GHC.
One non-obvious benefit of homeschooling conventions is the morale boost it gives for parents: attending workshops, getting pumped up, getting fresh information, being reminded of basic principles.
Featured speakers are brought in to speak. There are also workshops facilitated by exhibitors.
Conventions bring together homeschoolers and hundreds of vendors who cover a widely diverse set of products and services.
Most attendees purchase curriculum for the following school year.
Tali’s new vendor list: Flitetest; Wonder Year (book); Poptential; Teach Me Health and Homeopathy; Soda Farm; Science Ninjas; Push and Grow
Scott’s new vendor list: Beyond Personal Finance; Life Momentum with Anna B; Trinity College of Louisville
Hands-on projects can be combined with formal classes. Projects also help get dads or other family members get involved, and give moms a break.
Homeschoolers, like Bitcoiners, are open to alternative, i.e., non-fiat, diets, natural non-processed foods, homesteading, etc.
There is still a long road ahead to open homeschoolers up to how money works and Bitcoin.
Attendance this year was down, most likely due to the poor economic conditions.
