168. The Evolution of our Homeschool & the Principles that Guide It
3 november 2026 · 48 min
I never planned to homeschool. I'm a former middle school teacher, and the only homeschool family I knew growing up joined a polygamist group. Yet in 2020 I pulled my kids out of public school, and on our very first day everyone ended up in tears. In this episode I walk you through how our homeschool has changed over six years. We went from rigid curriculum to deschooling, then to child-led learning and concurrent enrollment, and finally to the vintage curriculum we use today: McGuffey Readers, Ray's Arithmetic and Harvey's Grammar. I also share the five principles I now consider non-negotiable for a successful homeschool. I call them the Old School Advantage. Whether you're new to homeschooling, wondering about unschooling, or homeschooling teens, this one's for you. Lees meer

165. Struggling Reader? 3 Things We Do Every Week (Including a 190-Year-Old Reader)
13 oktober 2026 · 24 min
Is your child a "good reader" who can't actually tell you what they just read? A distressed mama asked me in the comments how we handle struggling readers, so in Episode 165 I'm walking through the 3 things we do in our homeschool for reading comprehension: Lees meer
1. Read-alouds — chosen by me, read purely for the joy of the story (no worksheets!)
2. Quiet Reading Time (QRT) — 30 minutes a day, at the level where your child can actually succeed, even if that means dropping back to Frog and Toad
3. The McGuffey Readers — the 190-year-old readers we use for oral reading, spelling, vocabulary, narration and comprehension questions in 10–15 minutesI also share how my "best reader in the class" son broke down in tears over a chapter book, and what I learned about meeting kids where they are.

164. Have We Confused Schooling With Learning? with Dr. Pablo Riboldi
6 oktober 2026 · 51 min
What happens when an instructional-science PhD decides grades and tests may be getting in the way of real learning? Lees meer
Dr. Pablo Riboldi joins me to explain why he built a homeschool program without traditional grades or tests, why he returned to classical texts like Euclid's Elements, and why students should become responsible for their own education.
We talk about vintage textbooks, the flipped classroom, intellectual honesty, teaching children to think, and a radically different definition of what it means to be educated.
And if you've ever worried that you're not qualified to homeschool your children, stay until the end. His message to parents is one you need to hear.

158. Why we should NEVER stop reading aloud to children.
11 augustus 2026 · 28 min
Why do families stop reading aloud once children learn to read for themselves? Lees meer
In this episode, we make the case that we may be stopping far too soon.
We explore the history of reading aloud, oral recitation, Charles Dickens' public readings, the McGuffey Readers, and modern research on vocabulary, language development, story listening, and shared reading.
You'll also hear why reading aloud should complement—not replace—phonics and independent reading, how it can become a bridge into books children aren't ready to tackle alone, and why shared stories naturally lead to conversations about courage, loyalty, justice, sacrifice, forgiveness, and human nature.
Plus, you'll get practical read-aloud recommendations for children from preschool through the teenage years and simple advice for creating a family reading culture without turning every book into another school assignment.
Your child may be able to read the book alone.
But that doesn't necessarily mean you should stop reading it together.

149. The Learning and Recovery Cycle
25 mei 2026 · 12 min
Why do kids forget so much of what they learn—and why does school seem to make burnout worse instead of better? Lees meer
In this episode, we break down the science behind how the brain actually learns, including the role of memory consolidation, rest, and recovery. Backed by research from experts like Matthew Walker and Andrew Huberman, this video explains why constant input without recovery leads to poor retention, frustration, and mental fatigue.
If you're a parent, homeschooler, or educator, this could completely change how you approach learning.
Discover:
Why kids forget what they study
The hidden role of rest in learning
How burnout is created in traditional education
A better rhythm for real understanding and retention
This isn't about doing more.
It's about finally doing what works.SCHOOL TO HOMESCHOOL RESOURCES:

146. From Frustration to Clarity in Special Needs Parenting | with Dawn Fleming-Kendall
4 mei 2026 · 48 min
For years, parents have been told to focus on managing behavior, following plans, and fixing their child's struggles. But what if that approach is missing the most important piece? Lees meer

THROWBACK Unschooling, Children, and the Need for Play Interview with Dr. Peter Gray
27 april 2026 · 1 uur 6 min
Ever wondered about the transformative power of free play in a child's life? Prepare for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Peter Gray, an evolutionary psychologist and child development expert, as we journey through his research on self-directed learning and the crucial role of play in development and learning. Drawing from his personal experiences and groundbreaking research, Dr. Gray offers insights into the Sudbury Valley School's self-directed learning model and its potential to shape fulfilling lives. Lees meer
We dig deep into how self-directed education morphs the lines between work and play, and its ripple effects on children's lives. The conversation gets crucial as we navigate the alarming ascendance of ADHD and the use of medication. Dr. Gray underscores the importance of play in counterbalancing these concerns and the potential long-term effects of these drugs. Shifting gears, we probe into the decline of play and children's freedom since the 1950s and the societal factors contributing to this disconcerting trend.
Bracing ourselves, we venture into the intimidating process of unschooling. Based on a study, we tackle how parents can conquer their fears and the scrutiny of others by finding a supportive community of like-minded individuals. As we wrap up, Dr. Gray leaves us with an inspiring message about the transformative power of free play in children's lives, reminding parents of the significant role they play. This episode is not just a conversation, it's a paradigm shift in understanding learning and play. Tune in and witness this shift.

142. Stop Forcing, Start Observing: Unlocking Your Child's Genius with Zahra Lightway
30 maart 2026 · 1 uur 18 min
School isn't built for how children actually learn. It often forces knowledge that doesn't stick, labels it 'education,' and leaves children feeling like they've failed simply because the system doesn't fit how their minds work. In this episode, we dive deep into the reality of the modern classroom. We discuss: Lees meer
The Mismatch: Why the current school structure ignores natural learning processes.
The Labeling Trap: How testing and 'standards' miss a child's true identity and unique strengths.
The Breakthrough: What happens to a child's potential when you stop forcing and start observing.
It's time to stop asking why our kids aren't meeting the standard and start asking how we can build an environment where they can actually thrive.

141. What Happens When We Remove God from Education?
23 maart 2026 · 34 min
It is time we put God back. Lees meer
In this episode, I walk through my personal hypothesis, looking at the historical role of faith in education, the shift toward progressive ideologies, and what I see as the consequences in today's classrooms—rising illiteracy, behavioral issues, and a breakdown of values.
I also share examples from vintage curricula like McGuffey Readers, along with a fascinating behavioral study that highlights the impact of moral foundations on decision-making.
Whether you agree with me or not, my goal is to challenge you to think deeply about education, parenting, and what we are passing on to the next generation. And most importantly, to remind you that as homeschool parents, we have the opportunity to do something different.

140. The "Money Game" That Could Fix Financial Education with Lucy Taylor
16 maart 2026 · 37 min
Why do kids graduate from school knowing calculus… but not how money works? Lees meer
In this episode, I talk with Lucy Taylor, a student entrepreneur at University of Austin, who is building an innovative platform called Aurum to teach financial literacy through gamification and AI.
Lucy began her entrepreneurial journey at just five years old selling eggs, and today she's developing what she calls a "flight simulator for personal finance." Instead of boring lectures or outdated personal finance classes, Aurum lets students practice managing money inside a simulated economy, helping them build real-world financial skills before the stakes are high.
In this conversation we discuss:
• Why most personal finance education fails students
• How entrepreneurship teaches kids responsibility with money
• The connection between math, optimization, and financial decision-making
• Why learning about money after getting credit cards or student loans is dangerous
• How AI and gamified learning could transform educationLucy also shares simple ways parents can begin teaching financial literacy at home through real-life experiences, entrepreneurship, and everyday conversations about money.
If you're a homeschool parent, educator, or parent raising entrepreneurial kids, this episode will challenge the way you think about teaching money.
