  • Homeschool or public school?

    I listened for a bit but I kept getting confused that they talk about homeschooling but say their kids are in public school? Don’t have a problem with either but I listen for experiences from homeschool moms. The socialization episode talks about how socialization is not an issue and how great it is for kids but then she said her kids are in public school because they felt isolated. Just feels like they’re saying this is great but my kids had to go to school because it was bad for them

  • Used to love this podcast...

    I used to love this podcast. It was my go-to! But now, with the most recent episode, I’m questioning it, especially with all the research on technology and kids’ brains, the effects of “screen-time education” and the moods of children, and the startling effects of too much screen-time and childhood depression.

  • Homeschool Unrefined has been my favorite homeschool podcast for years, and I recommend these ladies to anyone who is: tired and needs encouragement; new and doesn't know where to start; or if everything if fine and you just want to hear a great discussion about homeschool. Maren and Angela are honest and keep things real. I have found myself making better choices for me and my family with their encouragement, to do less and acknowledge all of the great things we are already doing!
