IMO, the most important thing is to give my child the tools to enable her own learning. That way, she can teach herself stuff long after I am done teaching her. I want her to love learning and have the basic skills that help her learn, such as being able to read. If she has gaps in other areas, she can fill them as needed.
My top 2 were Reggio-Inspired and Waldorf Education, followed closely by Project-Based schooling and Unschooling. Where do I find resources for these approaches?
My results did not work (the numbers were not there) and I’ve taken it 4 times. I tried sending a message at the contact button and it didn’t go through. Has anyone else had this issue?
I have attempted this quiz three times now and it is not populating a score at the end. The results look like : Score for Charlotte Mason: %CATEGORY_POINTS%Charlotte Mason%/CATEGORY_POINTS%
Can this be fixed so I can get the actual score for the information?
I’m sorry. It is fixed now. The plug-in developers made updates that made it not work. I have been attempting to get it to work for awhile and finally figured out how to get it to work correctly now.
My results came via email without scores. Just a list of the types of education. After entering my email and click Submit, some of the last questions answered went blank. So I re-answered those questions and submitted my email again, but received the same results email without scores. Is there a way to see my scores another way?
Some were hard to choose! I have my ideals, then I have my ACTUAL classroom habits.
I am often an idea girl, but do not have follow-through.
I might have certain longings, but don’t know the perfect resource for them.
I love the idea of living books, but, pressed for time, fall on textbooks. 🙁
Also, I’m sure there is a difference between home-schooling ONE child, and home-schooling NINE! The fewer students, the more creative I would be able to be.

My top three were Charlotte Mason, Project Based and Reggio Inspired. We did a Reggio Preschool, which we both loved. The year I homeschooled, we did a lot of literature based ELA and project based science, which worked well. Don’t know much about Charlotte Mason, but the other two have us pegged. I’m also investigating a Waldorf middle school, which came in 4th.

Honestly I have no idea what probably all of these are. 😭
I need new glasses. It took me a few minutes to realize that some of these numbers were *negative*! : ) . I’m not surprised to find that I’m all over the board, since I design/choose our own materials, and don’t follow any brand or company. Fun test – thanks : )

I took this to find out what type(s) of homeschooling I might be good at leading. My top 3 are Traditional (19), Unschooling (15), Reggio-inspired (15). Also some very close scores of 13 followed. Obviously I need to study up on these because I am pretty sure traditional and unschooling are opposites. Not sure what Reggio-inspired even is. Thanks for the quiz though.

Since I am new to the Homeschooling approaches I will research top 3/4 and see what we can do about eclectic homeschooling with my (4) special needs children.
Interesting! I thought unschooling would be first for me! My top three being Charlotte Mason (23), Reggio-Inspired (17), and then Unschooling (16), surprised me. I don’t know much about Charlotte Mason and have never heard of Reggio-Inspired. I’ll have to dig into them more. I just pulled my kids out of school a little while ago and we have been busy de-schooling but we’re all ready to start setting some dedicated time to learning again!

What does it mean if you got a 0 in every category…
It was a problem with the plug-in. It took a long time for me to get it working, but it is working now.
Getting all zeros after multiple attempts at both quizzes. I believe there’s a glitch.
My scores were 0 across the board lol
What?

The quiz isn’t working properly! It is such a wonderful tool that I like to share with other homeschool moms.
