In this episode, our friend Lena talks about how the pandemic changed everything for her in terms of her son's education and how she pursued a homeschool route for him. She also wanted to pursue an education style that allowed her to spend more time with her son. Now at 13, she describes what her relationship is like with her son after homeschooling for the last few years. 

Lina shares her personal experience being homeschooled during middle school and how it shaped her views on learning, independence, and socialization. Valentina opens up about the complexities of being in a blended family, where her step-kids are in public school and making a different choice for her daughter isn’t so simple.

We unpack the pros and cons of public school, homeschooling, and alternative education styles especially when it comes to kids with learning differences. We get honest about IEPs and flexible (or not so flexible) schedules, parent guilt to peer pressure, we explore what it really means to choose the “right” education path for your child… and how sometimes, there isn’t just one right answer.
