Episode 323: To Homeschool or Not To Homeschool Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

...That is the question.

Today, we hope to talk about the pros and cons regarding homeschool. We talk about why it might work for your family and where it might not work. We love that people have the freedom to choose what works best for them. We obviously love homeschooling and we try to sell it to you today, without the sugar coating :)

You have ownership of:
Your schedule
What your family will learn
Ensuring your child is well-rounded with ample social opportunities
Your child’s entire education
Time with your children
Financial investment
Time investment
Mental health
Homeschooling perception
