Our Review of our Public School Homeschool Parent Partnership
This is a big one! We spend the episode discussing the Homeschool Parent Partnership. This is a local public school setup and geared towards homeschoolers (I know!). We've been attending this school for the last quarter of 2021. We discuss what we like, what we didn't like, the culture of the school, support, class types, and just about everything. If you're lucky enough to have a school choice option in your local area and are looking to join a parent partnership this is the episode for you.

Customer Reviews
Useful homeschooling podcast
It’s our second year homeschooling and so far this has been the most useful podcast I’ve found. Discussions center around common struggles, curriculum and game reviews, organization, styles of schooling, interviews with other homeschooling parents, balancing life, and so forth. As they state, focused on early learners, but that is perfect for us with a 7 yo. Thank you for creating this, Buza family.
Sound homeschool advice
Loving your podcast! We are into our second year of homeschooling and I am still feeling clumsy and unsure of our footing. Listening to your podcast has been a lot of fun and even though my learner is past the “early” stages, I have been able to get a lot of good advice and confidence from your episodes. We deal with physical and mental health issues, so I find that shorter sessions more similar to an early learner allow us to achieve more success in the long run. Having a family, career and homeschooling is exhausting so I appreciate your time taken to produce these episodes.
Awesome how-to-homeschool program
Found you guys by accident. Now catching up from all your episodes from the first one! I love the “what are we in to”. Love the humor and encouragement and pointers. Great job guys!
