About this Episode

If state standards make your eyes glaze over, this episode is for you. We’re breaking down what educational standards actually are, why they exist, and what they mean for homeschool families. You’ll learn how to think about standards as tools rather than mandates and decide how much, or how little, they should impact your homeschool.
