"Send me a Text Message!"Ever wondered if there's a better way to educate your children than traditional schooling? My fascinating conversation with homeschool mentor Kami Wanous reveals why more families across all demographics are choosing to take education into their own hands.Kami, a certified teacher who began homeschooling her son in 2008, shares the surprising truth about why she left the public education system: "We know too much about the system." This candid admission opens a window into how someone with insider knowledge views traditional education and why she chose a different path for her child. The conversation quickly dispels common myths about homeschooling, particularly around cost and diversity. "It's literally everyone - African-American, Asian, Hispanics, everybody in between," Kami explains when discussing who homeschools today.What truly sets this episode apart is Kami's revolutionary approach to integrating education with everyday life. Rather than recreating school at home with rigid subject blocks, she advocates for a natural learning environment where education happens organically through real-world experiences. This approach nurtures what she calls a "high level of love of learning" - the essential ingredient for developing lifelong learners who become leaders rather than followers or mere "box-checkers."We also delve into practical concerns, from financial resources available to homeschooling families to ensuring children receive culturally diverse experiences. Whether you're currently homeschooling, considering it as an option, or simply curious about alternative educational approaches, this episode offers valuable insights about creating an environment where children thrive intellectually and socially.Download Kami's free "Love of Learning Assessment" to evaluate your home's current learning environment and discover practical steps to nurture your child's natural curiosity and love of learning.
