Homeschool Isn't the Answer. It Isn't the Enemy Either.

After 10 years of homeschooling, I'm increasingly convinced that we need a better way to talk about education.

Homeschool can be wonderful. It can also have serious problems. Public school can serve children beautifully. It can also fail them. The same is true of private schools, charter schools, Montessori schools, and pretty much every other educational model we could name.

So why do we keep trying to turn these choices into absolutes?

In this episode, I'm talking about why I don't believe homeschool is either the answer to every educational problem or the enemy of education. I'm sharing what works for our family, the circumstances that make our homeschool possible, the legitimate criticisms I have of homeschooling, and why I'm never going to tell another family what they should do.

This is my homeschool. My experience. My very narrow lens.

And I think that's exactly what it should be.
