Mom of 9 kids shares challenges of homeschooling

Homeschooling can be challenging at the best of times, but one mom of nine has revealed she has done it for the past 17 years.

Jamerrill Stewart uploaded a video sharing how she educates her bumper brood all under one roof.

In a TikTok video saying that people had been asking about their home set-up.

She said: “For my family it depends on the day. This is our 17th year of homeschooling so I’ve learned tons of grace and flexibility.

“There are certainly days when getting started at 10 a.m. or so works well for us. 

“We have animals and life and the chores and jobs and things going on.

“To me, starting in the morning that’s about as early as we can start and that’s ok.

“If we have things in the morning, guess what, we start in the afternoon.

“And because of the freedom and the flexibility we have, we can certainly have days where we may not start until 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. or even 3 p.m. but we can continue on into the afternoon and even do evening homeschool and that’s ok.”

Jamerrill regularly shares her meal prep and bulk freezer recipes online – as well as her monster shopping trips.

In a previous shopping haul, Jamerrill picked up 80 bags of snack-size cookies for $2 in total, and joked they would be “already gone” before too long.

She also bought eight huge bottles of Naked juices for $1.99, and said two of the bottles would be enough for her family to have a cup for breakfast for a few days.
