Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution
Kids & Family:Parenting
"Whether it was easier or harder, whatever, whether children were fussing with us or happy with us as parents, it was the philosophy and the theology and the desire to be together as a family that really drove us." – Dr. Brian Ray
In this enlightening episode of the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, host Yvette Hampton sits down with Dr. Brian Ray, a leading expert in homeschooling research.
