  • THEREโ€™S NO SUMMER?! ( episodes)

    why!! But other than that it is one of the best podcasts Iโ€™ve ever listened to but it does need longer episodes because there is so much information one 20-30 minutes can hold so I want longer episodes please? But I donโ€™t like that you donโ€™t go in-depth detail so I want 30 seconds for each subject

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

07.11.2026
Q: And could you explain to kids or maybe some adults listening the difference between phonics and whole language?
Dr. Ginsburg explains that phonics focuses on decoding sounds and their relationships with written symbols, while whole language emphasizes recognizing whole words and meaning; she notes the science increasingly supports decoding and phonemic awareness as foundational, with explicit instruction helping many learners.
06.20.2026
Q: Johanna, for the parents who are traveling, do they work remotely or are they retired? How does that work?
Many work remotely or run their own businesses, some take a gap year, and others have one parent traveling with the kids while the other handles home life.
06.20.2026
Q: Where are you going to go?
We'll start in Valencia and then decide the rest later on.
06.20.2026
Q: Are you going to continue next year or are you going back home to Charlotte?
For the summer we're going back home, and next year we plan to do Together Explorers again.
06.20.2026
Q: What is it like having your brother with school with you?
Sometimes it's really fun and I learn a lot about him, but it can also be tiring and we sometimes need a break from each other.
