Looking for a great math program?

CTC Math provides online video tutorials that make learning math easy and effective

Here's a great testimonial from Lori.

She said one day, my 10-year-old was in tears over math.

I tried my best to help, but I ended up in tears as well. That very night, I received an email offer for CTC Math.

The following Monday, we reviewed the curriculum together. She was willing to give it a shot, and we have never looked back.

Hello everyone.

Welcome back to the Brave Rider podcast.

Hello, Melissa. Hi, Julie, and hello everybody. We're so glad to be with you this week. Melissa, I was really thinking a lot about critical thinking during the last couple of weeks. I feel like we have been in a situation where everybody is trying to make sense out of different sources

for news, different events. We've got the Olympics going on right now. There's just a lot to

think about. And I found myself reflecting on principles that I think are important when we are growing our minds,

when we are trying to develop our critical thinking toolkit, whether for ourselves or for

our kids. Julie, I saw this on your substack, your critical thinking bill of rights that you wrote, where you articulated these principles.

And it really hit me.

Like I was thinking my way through your list and thinking about how woven through my experience as a homeschooling parent, those principles are.

I found myself grappling with like, where did these

rights that you articulate show up for us? Where are things I feel like even now I should give more

focus to? And it also resonated with me from a practice that I had long ago when my kids were little,

a framework that I had for thinking about how to shape our days.

So I love this topic.
