Pandemic Propels Parents to Plan on Homeschool

The Schoolhouse SmartMama^™ Planner is Here to Help

An unexpected, chaotic school year is wrapping up for some families. Shutdowns, screens, and inconsistent schedules were the hallmarks of the year. Other families have achieved educational stability during the pandemic by teaching their children at home where they are safe, on schedule, and successful. They’re homeschoolers now. They’ve doubled the number of households across the country that already experience the countless benefits of home education. The US Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey revealed that 11.1 percent of households with school-age children reported homeschooling (not including virtual learning through a public or private institution) in the fall of 2020. Many are planning already now to continue home educating for the next school year.

“Pandemic homeschoolers learned that children thrive at home,” said Gena Suarez, publisher of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine. “Home is the ultimate learning environment. Planning for another productive, healthy, and consistent homeschool year can start now.” The Old Schoolhouse® can help with those plans. They’ve just released the Schoolhouse SmartMama^™ Planner, and it’s ready to fill. Designed by veteran homeschool moms, it offers exactly what home educators need in a planner, including encouragement. Parents can utilize this modern organizational tool to schedule lessons, record completed work, plan budgets, schedule chores, and manage goals. Specific pages help track everything from preschool progress to high school transcripts.

The Schoolhouse SmartMama^™ Planner is available now. Since the 2021–22 version is digital, it can be tailored and modified to each family’s specific needs. It can be printed or downloaded at https://www.theoldschoolhouse.com/product/21-22-schoolhouse-smartmama-planner.com. Each lovely detail and useful page is designed to support and encourage home educators. Smart curriculum choices are also available through SchoolhouseTeachers.com, where membership includes a complimentary Schoolhouse SmartMama^™ Planner.

“The Schoolhouse SmartMama^™ Planner is smart, unique, and customizable—just like homeschool,” added Suarez. “Everyone at The Old Schoolhouse® wishes new homeschoolers the very best as they anticipate another school year. We’re here to help through every step with planning, inspiration, curriculum, and much more.”
