In Defense of Rigor in Education

Let's chat about rigorous education. Is it a good thing or something to be avoided? Website I mentioned in the video: https://www.edglossary.org/rigor/ WELCOME // I'm Rachel, a mom of three and the oldest in a family of 8 kids. I'm a second-generation homeschooler who is passionate about education. I'm originally from Michigan, but am living overseas. Raising and educating my sons keeps me busy, but I make time for writing and for making Youtube videos, too! On this channel, you can expect videos featuring books and homeschool curriculum, homeschool tips for hard days, our journey raising bilingual kids, and vlogs about the intentional adventure that our homeschool lifestyle allows!
