“The church has done a disservice, if you will, in teaching us to understand that we should be obsolete from government. We have been taught to, in a great sense, turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to things that are happening, and I believe that’s why a lot of stuff is happening,” said Latasha Fields, a passionate advocate for parental rights, education, and community empowerment and a homeschooling mom of three.  Latasha has founded the Christian Home Educators Support System, made a run for Illinois Lt. Governor, and many other endeavors in between. In this final episode of Season 1, Suzanne and Latasha talk solutions to traditional public education. Listen in as they discuss overcoming the fear of homeschooling and the opportunities that come from a discipleship-focused homeschool framework.

“We’re talking about who’s behind the scenes in the realm of education…When you ask a parent ‘Who is teaching your child? Who is leading your child?’ we used to think Mrs. Jones in room 203, but that’s no longer the case…In order to understand who’s truly teaching your child, you have to understand who all the players are….” In this episode, Suzanne interviews Melissa Jackson and Apryl Dukes-McDaniel, co-founders of Freedom in Education.

It’s no secret screens are invading our children’s environments–including their classrooms! Yet, you might be surprised to know only a sliver of the 6-9 hours a day they spend on their screens is actually spent on school work. Veteran teachers and co-authors of Screen Schooled, Matt Miles and Joe Clement, join Suzanne to discuss the negative impact screens are having on students’ focus, critical thinking, problem-solving, and relationships. “When you give that phone or tablet to a child, you’ve given them a burden. They might not see it that way…but what you’ve done is erected a barrier between other humans, academic content, and their brains,” said Joe. Tune in to get informed on the real impact of technology in our schools and learn how you can make a difference in your child’s brain development and learning.
