Hey, moms, welcome to this episode of the Dorenda Wilson podcast. I'm Dorenda, wife to one, mom to eight,

Nana to 12, and 30-year veteran homeschooling mom. I'm also the author of four books that you can find on

Amazon, the Unhurried Homestchooler, Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart, the four-hour school day,

and raising boys to men, a simple, mercifully short book on raising and homeschooling boys. That book

just came out in March, and over 8,000 moms have decided it's a book they want to read, and I'm loving, hearing all the great feedback.

help, but ended up in tears as well. Who of us hasn't been there? We prayed together, she says,

and that very night, I received an email offer for CTC Math. The following Monday, we reviewed

the curriculum together. My daughter was willing to give it a shot and we have never

looked back. You can start your free trial today by visiting ctcmath.com. I'll leave a link in the show

notes. So today I'm really excited because we're going to be taking a brief flyover of the history

of education in our country. I want you to hang on to your hats because it's going to be a real eye-opener.

Before we dive in, I want to tell you about heritage defense.

Maybe some of you heard about my family's negative experience with CPS and might be concerned

about what CPS could possibly, what kind of threat they could possibly have to your family, and rightly so.

But did you know it's possible to reduce your likelihood of being reported just by educating

yourself about your state's laws? In addition to offering legal defense for Christian homeschool
