The mother who needed homeschooling

from Think from KERA · host KERA

For some kids, homeschooling provides them with the one-on-one attention they need. For others, though, it can feel isolating. Author Stefan Merrill Block joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why his mother, adoring but complicated, thought public school would kill his creativity, how his daily curriculum was left up to him as a small boy to craft, and how he thinks of homeschooling today. His book is “Homeschooled: A Memoir.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
