Homeschool Advice From Longtime Homeschooler, Joy Byce [Life In The Time Of Quarantine]

Joy dispenses valuable knowledge and wisdom gained from the trenches of homeschooling 3+ kids before it was the thing everyone did. We talk about how she and her family decided to homeschool, how they structure their days, rules about screen time, her qualms with traditional schooling and takes on different flavors and curriculums of home education, including unschooling. Unfortunately, the quality is not great, but it's worth listening through the pops and crackles if you're deeply interested in the world of homeschooling and how its lessons apply to distance learning in the time of quarantine.
