Even if you’re perfectly fine with your kids’ schools, it still pays to do your research on homeschooling, especially in the event of a short- or long-term disaster where you will have to lend a hand when it comes to their education. (h/t to TheOrganicPrepper.com)
Every parent homeschools at some point in their lives.
A parent who’s expressed concern for the education of their children will often homeschool them, even if they’re not aware of it. Showing your support for your kids’ hobbies and interests and allowing the whole family to take part in various homesteading tasks is also part of “life schooling.” When you prep, you have the chance to integrate everyone’s skills to personalize a learning experience that can benefit the group.
Pay attention to each child’s interests so you can determine a teaching method that will suit their learning style. This will also empower your child since they can contribute to the family’s preparedness efforts as they learn. (Related: Seven undeniable reasons to homeschool your children.)

If you live in the U.S., consult the Home School Legal Defense Association for basic breakdowns of every state’s legislation.
Prepper parents can still use homeschooling methods after a long-term disaster.
Even if you prefer a classroom-based learning for your child, you might need to continue their education yourself if SHTF. Here are some tips to get you started:
Homeschooling can help supplement classroom-based education.
Here are some tips for prepper parents who want to use homeschooling as supplementation for conventional education:
