What happens when a 5th grader’s love of learning is stifled—and her parents say enough? Meet Haley Taylor Schlitz, who left traditional school, graduated high school at 13, earned her law degree by 19, and now practices law—all after being denied access to gifted programs because of systemic bias.

In this episode, host Jay Artis-Wright talks with Haley about:

• Why her family chose homeschooling after racial barriers in public school
• How she accelerated her education and stayed socially grounded
• The book she co-authored with her mom: The Homeschool Alternative
• Advice for parents of gifted Black and Brown kids being overlooked

This conversation is a must-hear for every family asking: Is there a better way?
