Beauty In The Mundane Moments Of Motherhood And Homeschooling With Maggie Cure of Counting Lives and Counting Cures

Intro  
Maggie Cure Founder of Counting lives: back to the basics, before she became a mom, she taught second grade. It never once crossed her mind to homeschool her own kids one day. When her oldest was a year away from entering kindergarten, she figured she’d have nothing to lose by giving it a trial year. She went into it focused on the curriculum, schedule, and academics and came out of it being blown away by every non-academic grace that filled their lives because of it. She realized it has very little to do with schooling, but all about doing life with them. 
Counting lives is a place for parents to find solidarity, connection with others raising kids who are in the world but not of the world. It is a reminder to each other to notice beauty in the mundane moments of motherhood, to lay down worry and take up surrender, to celebrate who your kids are-not just what they do, and to never underestimate the greatness of work you are doing within the walls of your own home as you raise little souls. 
Top three takeaways  
Homeschool can be intimidating and lonely when you first look into it. Getting a chance to see other moms doing it can give others encouragement and confidence.  
Homeschooling allows parent to customize education  
Regardless of qualifications, every parent is equipped to be the BEST primary teacher for their kids, because they know them and love them better than anyone else can

Bridging The Gap With Dr. Amit Dongol

Intro  
Dr. Amit Dongol founder of Neurostem has a passion to give back as well as be part of an intellectual, healthy, and growing community. After earning a PhD in physics like all great intellects he realized there must be more all the while challenged to find a school that would meet his gifted son’s educational needs at the elementary school age. Through trial and error they enrolled him in public, private, chartered, and Montessori however none of them seem to be the right fit! He then decided to quit his job and took the opportunity and challenge to guide/teach him on his own.  
In efforts to better help his son and prepare, he started teaching physics at Austin Community College and Southwestern University, Georgetown, TX as an Adjunct Professor. Quite serendipitously Amit realized there is a massive gap in our primary and secondary education system and the students struggling at college and University. Seeing this disconnect in education compelled him think to do something to correct and bridge the gap. Amit’s passion to reach out to and help younger generations develop critical and logical thinking ultimately led me to create a class that was truly unique, hands-on, and individualized for the youth in the community; thus the creation of Neurostem.  
Top three takeaways  
You don’t need to be a teacher but instead, you can use multiple resources online and in person where people are already providing services focused on homeschoolers. 
Kids should explore different avenues to grow in knowledge and skills. This will help parents to be a part of their kids' learning environment. 
Amit wants your kids to be able to think logically and be able to ask questions and find the right answers rather than just believing in what is fed to them.
