On this episode, we talk about being a 2nd generation homeschooler. Amy shares tips and lessons that she wished she knew when she was starting out.

The Wild Brothers, Morgan, Hudson, Kian, and Asher Wild grew up overseas as tribal missionaries and now run Wild Brothers Productions. They were able to pursue their dream while pursuing missionary work in Indonesia because of homeschool programs. On this episode, The Wild Brothers share their experience of homeschooling and their amazing work as a family.

Listen as the boys all share their social and educational experience of growing up attending homeschool while making friends and building their lives in the jungle.

They credit their parents for being great teachers. Their father was a biology teacher and their mother made sure they were not falling behind with normal subjects like math, science, and geography. But after their schooling, homeschool allowed them to make friends and connect more with like-minded people. They even had a beetle named after them in Indonesia!

“Having lived in different cultures made us culturally observant. Growing up as homeschoolers allowed us to interact with a much wider peer range. All of the brothers are of different ages and, in the community, we were always interacting with others. I felt like homeschooling allowed us to connect with a diverse age range and we learned how to relate with people from all different backgrounds."

They share tips and ideas on how other homeschoolers can create a better social life and stay more connected as a family.

Did you know that over 87% of children don’t believe their school education will help them in everyday life?

If you are a parent who wants better for your child’s education, or if you’re already homeschooling and especially if you work in homeschool organizations.

You already know how difficult, yet important it is to discover learning styles, transform learning into knowing and develop skills that will last a lifetime.

Most children struggle to learn math. In fact, over 71% of high school students have failed a geometry exam and 68% have flunked an Algebra final.

The A+ Parents podcast speaks with parents, homeschool organizations, and homeschool influencers on how to become a self-directed learner. Mr. D Math Live encourages students to discover how to learn vs what to learn and how to teach others what they are learning. Our process empowers students to correct their work, discover their own ah-ha moments.

Our programs develop lifelong self-mastery skills with ongoing guidance from our support and staff team.

On this episode, we speak to the founder of Mr. D Math, Dennis DiNoia on these topics and more!
