Breaking Stereotypes: A Father’s Perspective on Homeschooling and Education

In this episode of Rooted & Reason, we offer a unique perspective on homeschooling—from the hearts of fathers. Homeschooling conversations are often dominated by moms, but as dads, we want to share why we’ve chosen this path for our families and address the common misconceptions surrounding it.

From concerns about socialization and education quality to myths about missed opportunities and extracurriculars, we tackle it all. We also encourage parents who feel unqualified to teach and discuss how homeschoolers succeed in higher education, like college.

Join us as we provide a father’s outlook on homeschooling, parenting, and the call to take responsibility for shaping our children’s futures. Whether you’re a homeschooling parent, considering it, or just curious, this episode is packed with insight and encouragement!
