About this Episode
Why do we automatically think homeschoolers are “weird” when the data tells a completely different story? Zan and her producer Caleb Price react to viral clips and breaking news that challenge everything we’ve been conditioned to believe about homeschooling. From a mom questioning why she keeps putting her kids “back on the bus” despite constant complaints about school, to shocking statistics showing parents spend only 35 minutes of quality time on average with their children daily, this episode will challenge you to examine your assumptions. Zan and Caleb also discuss urgent legislative threats in New Jersey and practical summer scheduling approaches that work for real families. Be inspired to ask the hard questions about what truly matters in your family’s life.

Podcast Sponsor
At BJU Press Homeschool, we’re committed to providing children an education from a biblical worldview that is academically sound and challenges them to advance, think critically, and live like Christ. This type of education is not often possible in public schools because of the number of children taught in a classroom, a difference in worldview, and peer and societal pressure to conform. Homeschooling allows parents to instruct and disciple their children without daily fighting messages from an opposing worldview taught in the classroom. And with tuition costs and fees for private schooling or tutoring, homeschooling may be the only option for parents who are concerned for their children’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
