    S3, Ep26: Homeschooling and the Case for Accountability

    In this episode, we sit down with Tess Ulrey from the Coalition for Responsible Home Education for a thoughtful, nuanced conversation about homeschool regulation, accountability, and why these discussions so often get shut down before they even begin with phrases like “slippery slope.” We talk about the rarely considered realities of how exposed to risk some kids truly are, and why acknowledging that doesn’t automatically make you anti-homeschool. This conversation doesn’t end with the interview though.  Next week’s episode is just us, continuing the discussion and processing the ideas Tess raised, what challenged our thinking, and how it all fits into the bigger homeschooling landscape. We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much. Homeschooling can feel isolating, but processing complex topics alongside like-minded people helps fill your cup, sharpen your thinking, and remind you that you’re not navigating this alone.

    S3, Ep25: The Problem With Crowd-Sourced Homeschool Advice

    The homeschool world can feel like the wild west… loud opinions, confident hot takes, and advice from strangers who know nothing about your kid, your goals, or your reality. In this episode, we unpack the problem with crowd-sourced homeschool advice, why confidence online is not the same thing as competence, and how fear, isolation, and misinformation leave parents second-guessing themselves. From questionable curriculum claims to panic-inducing academic myths, we talk about how to cut through the noise, identify red and green flags in homeschool guidance, and find support that’s thoughtful, accountable, and actually useful… for every stage of the homeschool journey. We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

    S3, Ep24: Finding the Balance Between Developing Grit and Differentiating Learning

    In this episode, we explore some nuanced questions about questions about balancing grit and flexibility.  Our focus through this deep dive will be important aspects of homeschooling, such as, are our kids developing the skills they’ll need to successfully launch into adulthood? Does creating a customized, differentiated learning environment remove struggle and therefore minimize their ability to withstand discomfort?  We’ll talk about what perseverance actually looks like in the real world - deadlines you didn’t choose, unsexy responsibilities, difficult people - and examine how that intersects with highly personalized homeschooling. Along the way, we unpack when adapting and differentiating supports resilience versus when it might unintentionally reduce tolerance for discomfort, and we wrestle with the roles of neurodivergence, privilege, capitalism, and compliance in how we define “grit.” As is so often the case, we don’t offer tidy answers… but we do offer honest reflection, balance, and a more nuanced way to think about preparing kids for life beyond homeschooling. We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much. Homeschooling can feel isolating, but processing complex topics alongside like-minded people helps fill your cup, sharpen your thinking, and remind you that you’re not navigating this alone.

    S3, Ep23: Frequently Asked Homeschool Questions

    This episode is for the questions you’ve been carrying quietly… the ones you’ve been too nervous, overwhelmed, or burned before to ask out loud. We know not all online spaces are safe spaces, and fear of judgment, pile-ons, or being told your question is “dumb” can keep things bottled up. So we’re opening the door and asking some of the most common homeschool questions head-on, with honesty, nuance, and zero shame. If something has been weighing on you and you’ve been avoiding naming it (we’ve been there), there’s a good chance it shows up in this conversation. You’re not alone and you don’t have to figure this out in silence. **** We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

    S3, Ep21: Homeschooling When Your Patience Runs Thin

    Everyone says you need endless patience to homeschool… and we’re calling BS. Beyond that, in this episode, we are going to unpack where that belief comes from, who it quietly excludes, and why impatience is often a signal… not a failure. From burnout and unrealistic expectations to repair, regulation, and systems that actually work, we talk about what kids really need from the adults teaching them. Spoiler: it’s not a 24/7 zen parent/caregiver… it’s real humans who can adapt, reset, and keep going. Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

    S3, Ep19: Testing, Grading, and What Actually Measures Learning

    Do homeschoolers really need tests and grades to prove learning is happening? In this episode, we unpack why so many parents feel pressured to measure progress the “school way,” even when it might not align with how their kids actually learn. We talk honestly about the limited role testing can play, the very real downsides of over-relying on data, and the many meaningful ways growth shows up in everyday life. Whether you’re fully anti-testing, required to participate because of a charter or state rules, or just trying to unlearn old school conditioning, this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and permission to trust what you see unfolding in your own home.
