Episode 11 Graduated but Can’t Read & Why Education Starts at Home

What happens when a student graduates high school without learning how to read or write?In this episode, we discuss a recent lawsuit involving a graduate who claims the school system failed to properly teach foundational literacy skills. This conversation opens up larger questions about education, accountability, grade promotion, and the role parents play in their child’s learning journey.We also talk about how schools today often avoid holding students back a grade, even when they may still struggle academically, and why parents should stay actively involved in education — whether their child attends public school, private school, or homeschool.Because at the end of the day: learning does not stop when children leave school for the day.I also discuss the recent Canva-related data breach involving educational platforms and why families should be aware of digital privacy and technology use in education.This channel is for families who want to homeschool or become more intentional about their child’s learning and development. I’m not here to attack schools — I’m here to encourage involvement, awareness, and thoughtful conversations about education.
