    GOAT #52: Homeschooling FAQs

    It's perfectly reasonable to still have questions about homeschooling, even if you've been doing it for a while ... we know we do!  Sometimes questions arise just because you're in a new season, or because your kids are transitioning from elementary age to middle school age, or even entering high school... and you have more questions than you have answers!  That's why we are here... to help support you and put your mind at ease. Listen today as Erin and Amanda discuss some of the most common questions asked about homeschooling ... ranging from "Is it hard to homeschool high school?" to the one many of us dislike, "What about socialization?"  Wherever you are in your homeschooling journey, you'll enjoy the conversation between these two homeschooling veterans.
