Welcome to the Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week Ben was joined by his wife Rissa to check in on how their homeschooling year has gone. They discussed the highlights, the surprises, and what curriculum they have enjoyed using. Ben also gives his counter-arguments to an article that offers many reasons why someone shouldn't homeschool. If you would like to reference some of the research Ben mentioned, visit https://www.nheri.org/ This is another awesome episode!
