And I have to tell you—this conversation is about so much more than transcripts, college applications, and checking boxes. (Although she provides incredible detailed lists for all ofthose things!) We’re talking about commitment, family relationships, friendships, careers, college, and what it looks like toeducate the whole person during those pivotal teenage years.Rachel shows up with so much hope and encouragement, helping us to understand that the high school years aren’tthe years we need to survive—but they are some of the very best years of our homeschool.Thanks for being here as Rachel and I talk about homeschooling high school with joy and purpose. Please Visit Our Sponsors: I have to tell you about the homeschool planner I keep coming back to year after year: Sparrow HomeschoolPlanner.I’ve used a LOT of homeschool planners over the last 20 years, and this is the only one I’ve actually used multiple years in a row—and written in every single day. It’s full color,beautifully designed, has plenty of space to actually plan your days, meal plan, budget, and even plan your field trips and travels. I especially love the perforated lists. You can write out your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, cleaning lists--whatever you want!--then tear them out, and take them with you.It’s one of those homeschool tools that makes planning feel easier instead of adding another thing to your plate.If you’re looking for a homeschool planner you’ll actuallyuse, check out Sparrow Homeschool Planner and use my code LORIBETH for 10% off. Sparrow Homeschool Planner: www.sparrowhomeschool.com Use the Code: LORIBETH for 10% off your planner!Podcast Edited & Mixed By: Jordan Tallon
