My 12 year old son listened to this with me and 30 minutes in he asked if he could do CC for school. We talked and prayed about it over the summer and he started back in August. He is doing well and loving it! Thank you Shawn and team for this interview!

2025-04-09 02:00:39 +0000 UTCTennessee is great to homeschool. We had an emergent situation arise last year when my girls were in high school. We found an umbrella school (Home Life Academy) and they've helped me at every step. Best decision ever, wish we'd made it sooner.

2025-04-04 20:56:01 +0000 UTCGreat interview. We used Classical Convo on and off for years. It works for some neuro-typical kids and others it doesn’t work at all. The best part of homeschooling is creativity and critical thinking.

2025-04-03 19:20:03 +0000 UTCI agree with everything, but I employ a lot of young people that don’t know how to type. I think some kind of typing should be involved. My daughter is a sophomore in high school and does not know how to type. She works for our business in the summer so she is learning how to type from us since they don’t learn it in our public school. I wish I would have known about this program when my kids were young. Sounds like a great program!
