SH #108: Thanks, Homeschooling, for All the Opportunities!

SH #108: Thanks, Homeschooling, for all the Opportunities! ~
Written by Jamie C. Martin of Simple Homeschool and Introverted Moms

I know you’ll love this episode of the Simple Homeschool podcast as we continue a special series with my 18-year-old son Jonathan: “Reflections from a Homeschool Graduate.”

Jonathan was homeschooled from K-12th grade, and in this episode we answer a question sent in from Gillian: “Do you feel like homeschooling gave you extra opportunities that you wouldn’t have had in traditional school?”

Thanks, Homeschooling, for All the Opportunities!

In Episode 108, you’ll hear us discuss: 

  • Trips we took during the school year 
  • Conferences we attended in a variety of fields
  • Volunteering that led to paid employment during the school week
  • Amazing opportunities that have come his way since graduation

Click here to stream/download Episode 108! Find it wherever you listen to podcasts and subscribe so you’ll be notified when we release another in a couple of weeks.

Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode:

  • Thanks to the sponsors for this episode: Story Masters and My books!
  • Episode 104, Simple Homeschool: “Do you feel like you missed out because of homeschooling?”
