Summary
So many people are turning to homeschooling these days, and the first question they usually ask is about curriculum – what should they use and how should they use it. In today's episode, Mystie and Brandy discuss why it's useful to back up and talk about why everyone needs a philosophy and how to go about building one.
***
Earlier this week on Tuesday, Scholé Sisters hosted our annual Spring Training. Our coach this year was Dr. Carl Trueman, professor of biblical and religious studies from Grove City College. He gave us an amazing history lesson on Marx and Marxism and answered a lot of great questions at the end. Replays are available, and if you sign up shortly after this episode comes out, you'll still have time to register and attend our live debriefing session with Mystie, Abby, and Brandy on May 10th.
