Join Julie, Ann, and Edy as we answer lots of new homeschoolers' questions and give tips from our long, fun years of homeschooling.

Listen as we answer:
1. How would you set up your own co-op or find an established one?
2. What hurdles can you overcome as you transition from public or private school to homeschooling at each grade level?
3. How do you know you are covering enough in each subject or during each day?
4. How do you tackle teaching science classes with a lab component?
5. If you've left public or private school because of CRT or curriculum or library books that go against your family's values, how do you prepare your child to succeed in the adult after homeschooling while holding true to their ideals?

You can hear our joy as we recall blowing things up in the backyard, getting organs from the butcher to dissect, experimenting with different flour types in cake recipes with our kids.  All of these were part of our science-at-home journeys. You don't have to be this messy in your journey. In today's EAGLE Podcast episode Four Eagle Mom Squad parents sit down to explore the many ways to make sure your kids-homeschooled, public schooled, or private schooled-get the foundation of science they need to succeed.

Gracie West joins Julie and I for a fascinating discussion of the current state of public school policies and curriculum choices. She and her family recently fled Portland, that was "socially on fire", to start a new life on the east coast. Although "green to homeschooling," Gracie explains why it's critical to take control of your child's education today. She hosts her own  wildly popular YouTube channel that exposes a movement toward such things as "equity of outcomes" instead of "equality of opportunity."

Gracie mentions the her viral YouTube video of unrest in downtown Portland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzzd-itv7Q4&t=1225s
