066 – S3 E3 – “Be more open to the ideas that children bring. They learn better when they’re interested.” - Marie

homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Marie, a homeschooling mom of two, about her earliest memories of attending schools in Canada, including at a French private school for kindergarten, and an alternative one for her final year of high school. We also discuss her journey of making the decision to homeschool her children, to ultimately moving to Europe so that one of her sons could pursue soccer, professionally. I ask for her advice on what we can all learn from her experience of collaborating with her sons on their education, and she does not disappoint. Without giving too much away, one key insight is to trust our children.
