The one about religion
Religion plays a huge role in the lives of many homeschooling families, including ours. We don’t normally put too much of an emphasis on the topic, so we’ve dedicated this episode to discussing our Judaism and how it influences the way we educate our kids. If you have any questions or comments, write in and we’ll discuss them on the show. Email [email protected].
