I don't claim to know anything about homeschooling, so I set out on a journey to ask the people who do! Join me as I chat with homeschoolers to discuss; "why are people homeschooling," "what are all the ways people are using to homeschool today," and ultimately, "should I homeschool my kids?"

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#166: How Homeschooling Her Only Child Turned Him Into a 9-Year-Old Author & Stock Trader
Q: How does Josiah's interest in stock trading and writing influence your day-to-day homeschool routines?
His interests drive the curriculum; we integrate stock market basics into storytelling and reading, and we publish and market his books as practical projects, keeping learning relevant to him.
#166: How Homeschooling Her Only Child Turned Him Into a 9-Year-Old Author & Stock Trader
Q: How did you approach deciding between public online options and homeschooling, and what led you to Classical Conversations?
We initially tried Tennessee Online Academy but it ended after first through fourth grades; a relative with experience in Classical Conversations shared how it could fit our schedule, especially with Josiah's focus on acting and our busy lives.
#166: How Homeschooling Her Only Child Turned Him Into a 9-Year-Old Author & Stock Trader
Q: What prompted you to start homeschooling before Josiah even existed in your plans?
We were curious about the school system, observed certain habits in youth we worked with, and wanted to be the main influence in his life from the start, so we chose to homeschool.
#162 Dr. Peter Gray: What Schools Get Wrong About Learning
Q: Can kids still go to college or pursue advanced studies without a traditional high school path?
Yes. Graduates from alternative schools often enter college successfully; many enroll in community college first, build transcripts through self-initiated study, and select paths aligned with their interests.
#162 Dr. Peter Gray: What Schools Get Wrong About Learning
Q: How do unschooling and life learning differ from conventional schooling?
Unschooling centers on supporting the child's own interests without a fixed curriculum or tests, allowing learning to emerge from real-life activities and collaboration rather than structured lesson plans.
