In this episode of the Seatton Education Podcast, host Victoria interviews Russ Hiebert, a former Canadian Member of Parliament and homeschooling father. They explore Russ's transition from politics to prioritising family, and his family's experience with homeschooling in British Columbia, where educational freedom is supported by governmental policies. Russ emphasises the advantages of personalised learning tailored to individual needs, highlighting research that shows home-educated students outperforming their conventionally schooled peers both academically and socially. The discussion also addresses common misconceptions about homeschooling and considers some of the shortcomings of mainstream education.
