What happens when dedicated teachers with advanced degrees and decades in the classroom realize the system isn't working for their own children? Two extraordinary educators share their journeys into the unknown world of homeschooling after collectively spending over 40 years in public education.Deanna and Leigh Ann take us behind the curtain of their transition from traditional schooling to home education, revealing the personal "enough is enough" moments that pushed them to make radical changes for their families. One witnessed her son three grade levels behind in math catch up within six months. The other found herself peeking into a classroom to see her young son sitting dejected and crying behind a mask. These deeply human experiences—not academic theories—drove their decisions to create something different.Both women candidly admit the learning curve was steep. They initially tried replicating school at home with rigid schedules and desk work before discovering that true learning looks radically different: conjugating verbs while jumping on trampolines, incorporating cooking as applied mathematics, and allowing natural curiosity to drive deeper investigation. With refreshing honesty, they discuss working full-time while homeschooling (yes, it's possible), the importance of "deschooling" before implementing formal curricula, and why Finland achieves 100% literacy by starting formal education at age seven.Whether you're a curious parent wondering about alternatives, a teacher questioning the system, or a homeschooler seeking validation, this conversation offers practical wisdom without judgment. The message is clear: you don't need specialized credentials to educate your children. As Leanne says, "You can learn with them. If you don't know how to do it, learn alongside them." Their stories prove that sometimes the most powerful educational choice is simply choosing to do things differently.Want to explore these ideas further? Connect with Deanna at "Dr. Deanna's Learning for Littles" on YouTube and check out Leigh Ann's book "Making the Switch" about her transition experience.Making the SwitchDr. Deanna's Learning for Littles YouTube PageSupport the showInstagram: TheHomeschoolHowToPodcast Facebook: The Homeschool How To Podcast
TALK TO ME, TEXT ITWhen our political principles clash with our personal choices, who holds the moral high ground? Today's episode dives into the fascinating contradictions of public figures whose actions seem to contradict their stated values.We begin with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive firebrand representative who was recently photographed enjoying the comforts of first class while en route to a Bernie Sanders rally titled "Fighting Oligarchy." The irony wasn't lost on fellow passengers, one of whom quipped that AOC is "fighting the system one first-class mimosa at a time." At $1,100 per seat, this premium travel choice has raised eyebrows among critics who question how it aligns with her messaging on economic inequality. Climate activists have further complicated the picture by pointing out how first class seating contributes disproportionately to carbon emissions—another cause the congresswoman champions.The conversation then shifts to the surprising controversy surrounding beloved children's content creator Miss Rachel, whose "Songs for Littles" videos have accumulated over 10 billion views. The anti-semitism watchdog group Stop Anti-Semitism has called for an investigation into whether Rachel Griffin Accurso is being paid to spread "Hamas-aligned propaganda" through her social media posts about children in Gaza. This represents a dramatic departure for a creator who once focused exclusively on educational content for toddlers, revealing how even spaces seemingly removed from politics can become battlegrounds for larger cultural tensions.These stories highlight the increasing scrutiny public figures face in an era where personal choices and social media activity are constantly monitored for consistency. Whether you're a political representative or a children's entertainer, the public increasingly demands alignment between message and action. What childhood shows did you grow up watching? Share your thoughts and join the conversation about where responsibility lies when public figures appear to contradict their own messaging.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!
