James Wright, a YouTuber and woodworker, discusses his experience with homeschooling his children. He explains that they made the choice to homeschool because they wanted the flexibility to travel and go on vacations throughout the year. James shares that they use an online curriculum called Power Homeschool, which allows them to have a flexible schedule and complete their work at their own pace. He also mentions that homeschooling in Illinois has minimal requirements and that he writes diplomas for his children, which have been accepted by colleges. James emphasizes the importance of socialization and extracurricular activities for homeschooling children. The conversation explores the education system, including public schools, charter schools, and homeschooling. The hosts discuss their personal experiences with different types of schooling and the advantages and disadvantages they have observed. They also touch on topics such as class sizes, curriculum, bullying, and the lack of critical thinking and problem-solving skills in today's education system.
