Summary

When Zan Tyler uttered the words “My child needs more time,” she had no idea it would lead to threats of jail time, legal battles, and ultimately helping with homeschooling on a national scale. In this powerful episode kicking off a special homeschool-focused series, Ginny Yurich and Zan Tyler reflect on the early days of the homeschooling movement, the courage it takes to advocate for your child, and why the simple act of stepping outside the system is doing more good than you think. Zan’s story is one of faith, perseverance, and legacy—but it also speaks directly to the parent who’s feeling unsure, behind, or just plain tired. If you’ve ever wondered whether homeschooling is right for your family (or if you’re doing it “right”), this episode is for you. ** Get your copy of Homeschooling, You're Doing it Right Just By Doing It here Learn more about Zan and everything she has to offer (including her wonderful podcast) here Here Zan speak at FPEA or CHEC Learn more about your ad choices.
