Episode 61: How to Answer Common Homeschool Questions - Honest Talk and Deciding When to Say What, Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this conversation, we think through some very common questions that homeschool parents receive and consider them from different angles. We take into account questions in situations that just call for a short answer versus ones for which there is more time and interest in fuller detail.

This time we discussed Myths and Misconceptions about unschooling. We were keen to do this because we know how misunderstood unschooling often is, even by people embarking upon it.
