Listen "Beyond the Book: Why Curriculum Isn’t the Holy Grail"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Journey Through Homeschooling podcast, hosts Jami Thornsberry and Adonna Pryor dive into the anxieties surrounding curriculum choices in homeschooling, drawing inspiration from Sarah McKenzie's "Teaching from Rest." They discuss why many homeschoolers view curriculum as the "holy grail," sharing personal experiences and reflecting on how societal pressures can lead families to become slaves to their chosen programs. Through candid stories and practical wisdom, Jami and Adonna highlight the importance of using curriculum as a flexible tool rather than a rigid master, emphasizing the value of curiosity, depth, and genuine connection in a child’s education. The conversation encourages listeners to rethink how they assess educational success—prioritizing a lifelong love of learning over simply checking boxes or finishing every page.
