Surprised by Homeschooling | Episode 93
Welcome to the Greatest Hits series! In this episode, we’re revisiting my interview with Ryan and Kristy Sorrels who are self-proclaimed as “not your typical homeschool parents” who were surprised by homeschooling.
What makes a good homeschool parent? Do you need to have a certain type of personality to teach your children at home? Ryan and Kristy Sorrels answer those questions and more as they share how they homeschool their three children with a literature based approach.
On this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why their son only went to preschool for 6 days
- What Kristy calls the best part and worst part of homeschooling
- Ryan’s encouragement for non-reading parents
- Why Kristy and Ryan were surprised by homeschooling
