How to Answer Common Homeschool Questions - Honest Talk and Deciding When to Say What, Part 1
Episode 61: How to Answer Common Homeschool Questions - Honest Talk and Deciding When to Say What, Part 1
In this conversation, we think through some very common questions that homeschool parents receive and consider them from different angles.
We take into account questions in situations that just call for a short answer versus ones for which there is more time and interest in fuller detail.
We also look at the distinction between answering questions of people in our lives who are interested in or concerned about what we’re doing versus questions of families who are interested in or new to homeschooling. We’d love you to have a listen and share anything from your own experiences!
Questions We Cover:
Is homeschooling legal?
What kind of oversight do you have?
What questions do adults who were home educated receive?
How will they learn to read?
How will they learn to do math?
What curriculum do you use?
How do you know what to teach?
