In this episode of The Ex-Homeschoolers Club, I'm reflecting on a decade of being homeschooled and dive into three specific areas I would approach differently if I had the chance to go back. While I appreciate much of what my parents did, this episode explores critical reflections on my understanding of government, religious curriculum, and emotional boundaries. I also unpack how these elements have impacted my adult life and what I think future homeschoolers can do better. Whether you're a current homeschooler, a curious ex-homeschooler, or just someone interested in education reform, this one's for you.

Key Takeaways:

Government Education Matters: I discuss the missed opportunity to deeply understand local and state politics beyond textbooks—through field trips, town hall meetings, and active involvement.
Challenging Religious Narratives: Why I'd encourage exposure to a broader spectrum of belief systems rather than faith-based exclusivity in every subject.
Emotional Boundaries in Education: The crucial need for learning to set boundaries, communicate discomfort, and recognize the importance of emotional well-being from a young age.
The Power of Perspective: Looking back on my homeschool journey offers powerful lessons for educators, parents, and students alike.
Self-Reflection as Growth: Honest retrospection is key to personal development and helps create better systems for the next generation.
