Katrena Lopes, a homeschool parent and mother of a student at Little Elm STEAM Academy (https://youtu.be/xoy-R5ARTvg), discusses the benefits of micro schools, how personalized learning gives children confidence and prepares them for life, the success of Tracey McEntyre's Little Elm STEAM Academy, and her own experiences with two very different types of learning styles in her two children. Katrena also provides an excellent rebuttal to the argument that homeschooled students are at a social disadvantage.

The whole child is often left behind in today's education system, but Rachel Good, founder and lead learner of Discovery Learner's Academy microschool in Chattanooga, has designed a program and school based on empowering and inspiring students to deeply learn, not just memorize (and likely forget). Part of that design involves using Quantum Courses, which was featured in Episode 3 of Learning Liberty (https://youtu.be/u5yUYCElpVY).
