Parents, not the government, are responsible for directing their children’s education. This podcast is a conversation centered on that responsibility—what it looks like in practice and what happens when it begins to shift. Through discussions on homeschooling, educational freedom, and family responsibility, we examine how government funding, while often well-intentioned, can come with trade-offs that gradually shift decision-making and ownership away from parents. NDHSA Board President, Thor Sand, is part of the conversation throughout, playing devil’s advocate by raising the kinds of questions legislators and homeschool parents themselves are asking. If you care about maintaining direction and ownership of your child’s education, this podcast will help you think through the issues and make informed, intentional decisions.
