They dig into what they think she missed, and use it as a jumping-off point to share the real, honest story of what led them to homeschool in the first place. They get into the fears they had to work through, the books and voices that gave them the confidence to make the leap, and the rewards — expected and not — that came from choosing this path for their family. Wherever you land on homeschooling, this one's a candid look at how one family got there.
