Special Replay: Homeschool Gone Wild: A Fresh Look at Unschooling
Hey, homeschoolers! I've done a lot of reading on unschooling and I've experimented with it in the afternoons with my kids over the years. But I was forced to take a fresh look at unschooling when I read the book, Homeschool Gone Wild. I invited the author, Karla Marie Williams, to be a guest on the podcast and I posed some challenging questions to her. Whether you're all about unschooling or think it's not for you, I know you'll enjoy my interview with this fascinating homeschool mama. But first, I'd love to invite you to join our Homeschool Sanity Facebook group. I am enjoying your answers to the daily discussion questions. I am happy to give my answers to your burning questions along with allowing the rest of the group to respond, and I consider it a privilege to pray for your requests. I'd like to thank our sponsor, the Christian Standard Bible. Listen for more about this fresh version of God's Word.
