Beyond School Walls: Discovering True Education | Alex Newman | Ep. 139
Could homeschooling be the greatest adventure your family ever takes together? Award-winning journalist Alex Newman shares how education beyond classroom walls transformed his family's life, creating opportunities to explore ancient ruins, trek through national parks, and build unforgettable memories. Alex reveals why spending time with his six children is his favorite thing in the world, challenging the notion that children are a burden rather than a blessing. Zan and Alex also dig into the literacy crisis and discuss how teaching phonics leads to literacy, transforms education, and even promotes emotional well-being.
