#146: We Pulled Our Kid From School After 2 Weeks - Here's Why We'll Never Go Back


Listen Later

Discover how one family's challenging school experience became a powerful homeschooling journey. What starts as a two-week trial becomes a wake-up call that changes everything. This raw, honest conversation reveals why traditional school wasn't working and how unschooling created the freedom their family desperately needed.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The wake-up call that changed everything about their education approach
  • Breaking free from "compliance culture" and therapy pressure
  • Building community through homeschool co-ops
  • France vs. U.S. schooling: eye-opening cultural differences
  • What unschooling really looks like in daily practice
  • Interest-led learning, morning baskets, and unit studies that work
  • Teaching kids how to think, not what to think
  • Handling hard days with regulation and nature resets
  • Self-care strategies for homeschool parents
  • Creating a freedom mindset around time, travel, and family values

Whether you're considering homeschooling, already on the journey, or simply curious about alternative education, Sarah's story offers practical insights and encouragement for raising independent thinkers.

Perfect for: homeschool parents, unschooling families, parents questioning traditional education, those interested in child-led learning
