Listen "Interview - Cara Sackett - Home schooling"
Episode Synopsis
Cara talks about what it takes to homeschool their son, the benefits they see and how to do it.
My favourite quote of the episode is "I've built community through homeschooling. I guess the great thing about meeting other homeschoolers is also learning different ways of teaching. If a child might be having difficulty with something, making suggestions of what maybe you've tried. The curriculum that I'm actually using at the moment was because another homeschooling mum recommended it to me. And then I recommended it to another homeschooling mum who said, this is great because I've been really struggling with my child and she's now really enjoying this curriculum. So in that sense, it's really great. I really appreciate the community that we've found because we don't just talk about homeschooling. We also share many similar values in regards to family and health and lifestyle. So just having those types of conversations with people who share the same values is also really beneficial. We've just met a whole new group of friends, which has been fantastic."
