They Can Smell The Homeschooler On Me

I'm always striving to make this show better and I want to hear from you. If you've got a few minutes, would you mind answering a few questions? https://forms.gle/SCAWjZ3fo1L4CxCK9 We're back in the clubhouse with my long-time friend and fellow ex-homeschooler, Derry. Together, we dive into our shared experiences, from meeting at AWANA's to discovering how homeschooling shaped our lives. We discuss the challenges and benefits of being homeschooled, how it impacted our social skills, and the transition to higher education. Derry also shares his insights on living with dyslexia, the importance of parental involvement, and whether he would consider homeschooling his own children.
