Episode 3: “Between two worlds”

For years, Black parents have talked about how traditional schools have failed their kids in the classroom.

Doin’ It Our Way explores why some St. Louis area families chose to homeschool, how they are able to do it, and what that experience has been like for their kids. Hosted by Marissanne Lewis-Thompson.
