Homeschooling should be a pre-marriage conversation and almost nobody treats it like one.
Today's guest is Mandy Davis — author of The Homeschool Bible, former school principal, and a leading voice helping parents take back authority over their children's education. She argues this decision shouldn't wait until your child turns five; it belongs in the conversation long before you say "I do." We talk about what to do when your spouse isn't on board, why the non-homeschooling parent matters more than most families realize, and why so many teachers are walking away from the system.
