Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
On The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James responds to harsh criticisms of homeschooling made by podcasters Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, who labeled homeschooling as "trickle-down stupidity" and criticized parents for keeping their children at home. Charlie James counters their claims by noting that homeschooled children often possess exceptional social skills compared to public school students. He is joined by Jessica Brassington, founder of Mama Bears Rising, who shares her experience homeschooling her three daughters and explains that homeschooled students are often better prepared for college and the workforce due to their self-initiative and critical thinking skills. Brassington also details the background of her organization, which empowers parents to make confident, informed decisions regarding health, education, and family rights.
