98: Homeschooling to School with Angela Sizer & Maren Goerss

“It was so important for us as homeschool parents, and because of the tenets that we hold as the reasons why we homeschool: it’s important for us to value our children as humans, and for their voices to be heard, and for their mental health, and so, when our kids were saying, ‘I think we need to start thinking about school,’ if we ignored these ideas that were coming from our kids, we would’t be holding the tenets that we thought were important in homeschooling—trusting and respecting them, which is the highest value.” Angela Sizer and Maren Goerss join me in today’s episode about Homeschooling to School. Angela and Maren are hosts of the Homeschool Unrefined Podcast and authors of the new book Think Differently About Learning. We discuss how we came to homeschooling, treating children as humans, nuts and bolts of homeschooling, outsourcing, mental health, and the transition from homeschooling to school.
