Scholé Sisters: Camaraderie for Classical Homeschooling Mamas

Thank you, thank you, thank you for episode 152! I found myself cheering as you laid the philosophical groundwork for your opposition to government funding for homeschool! I’ve been hesitant and leery of these “following the student” education funding bills for a long time and was raised by “scrappy” homeschooling parents of the 1980’s, so your arguments were both familiar to me and refreshing, in the current climate of all things government-funded.

This podcast is a constant source of encouragement I look forward to every episode!

The subject matter and topics are very interesting to me; however, I go back and forth on whether it’s worth a listen. The constant laughing (at things that aren’t funny) is hard on the ear, especially when there are multiple voices laughing. This sounds so silly because having fun and being jovial is a wonderful, refreshing thing, but it’s an issue of how it hits the ear through headphones and it’s super grating. Also, they cannot manage to remain humble in how they approach such high brow topics. There is so much self-righteousness it feels icky. I think part of the beauty of being a life long learner is that the more you learn the more you realize how much you don’t know and it’s humbling. The pretension is overwhelming.

I love this podcast so much and find it so engaging, encouraging, and informative! I have found so much encouragement not only for our homeschool but for my own mother academia and mother culture. I have just been so very blessed by their conversations, sistership, classes and of course book recommendations!
