Today we are chatting with Leah Courtney about the pros and cons of homeschooling.
Leah Courtney is a child of God, wife, mother, and homeschooling mama. She’s homeschooled four children since birth, and is now the mother of two homeschool graduates. In her (very rare) free time, Leah loves to read and color complicated pictures while listening to audio books. You can find her blogging at As We Walk Along the Road where she’s posting literature-based homeschooling resources and encouragement for other homeschooling mamas.
Leah talks with me about a time in her life when the local Montessori school looked like a better option than what she could offer her two younger kids. She felt overwhelmed at the idea of juggling multiple grades and thought there was a better option right down the road.
If you have ever been tempted by the big yellow school bus or doubted your ability to juggle all of your kids, this episode will leave you better equipped for a more joyful homeschool!
