Episode notes
Prioritize Focused Learning And Creative Play
- Limit screens, prioritize deep reading, and favor creative play like Legos over passive toys.
- Keep homeschool focused: 2–3 concentrated hours plus exploration and apprenticeships.
Public Schooling Serves The State
- John says government schooling succeeded for the state by producing compliant citizens, not healthy individuals.
- He warns future enforcement could criminalize homeschooling as part of state control.
Be Strong And Tender Equally
