Her son was all set to graduate from her homeschool and become a master mechanic — and then he enlisted in the Marines a month before he turned 18.
Christina Franco from Rooted Home Life joins Cheryl this week. She's a former public and private school teacher turned homeschool mom of five, and she gets real about the moment she realized it wasn't public school she had a problem with — it was school itself. They talk about her oldest son's surprise decision to join the Marines, the ”mother's intuition” story from speaker Amber O'Neill Johnston that changed how Christina parents, why she doesn't believe in college for college's sake, and how family-style unit studies shape her very relaxed homeschool days.
You'll hear about:
- How a public school teacher ended up distrusting the entire system, not just one school
- The real story behind her son enlisting in the Marines right after graduating homeschool
- How being a blended family can affect homeschooling
- A mother's intuition story about a medical procedure gone wrong
