They Can Smell The Homeschooler On Me | #3

I'm always striving to make this show better and I want to hear from you. If you've got a few minutes, would you mind answering a few questions? https://forms.gle/SCAWjZ3fo1L4CxCK9 We're back in the clubhouse with my long-time friend and fellow ex-homeschooler, Derry. Together, we dive into our shared experiences, from meeting at AWANA's to discovering how homeschooling shaped our lives. We discuss the challenges and benefits of being homeschooled, how it impacted our social skills, and the transition to higher education. Derry also shares his insights on living with dyslexia, the importance of parental involvement, and whether he would consider homeschooling his own children. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about growing up outside the traditional education system.00:00 Welcome to the Ex Home Schoolers Club00:10 Childhood Memories and Meeting at AWANA01:55 Homeschooling Experience and Challenges10:47 Navigating Social Norms as a Homeschooler21:47 Dealing with Dyslexia and Academic Struggles25:14 Homeschooling vs. Public Schooling: A Comparison26:52 Parental Involvement in Education28:37 College Experiences and Challenges33:29 The Joys and Struggles of Homeschooling42:22 Reflecting on Homeschooling and Future Decisions48:00 Final Thoughts and Farewell Wanna chat with me?
