Honey should we homeschool?
Join us, Tom and Leah, UK based parents, on a deep dive into both the school and home education systems as we try and figure out which route is best for our children.We'll be exploring some of the most talked about challenges of both home and state funded education methods. Trying to take an objective view and using scientific research where possible. We will also be interviewing people from both sides of these drastically different worlds. Whether you're interested in potentially home schooling or just fascinated as to why people would, we look forward to sharing what we find with you.

Making a podcast actually costs money (annoying, we know), and we don’t do ads for mattresses (yet). But if you’ve ever laughed, nodded along, or shouted “YES!” at an episode, consider tossing a coin, no matter how small, to your podcasters! ♡ - https://buymeacoffee.com/honeyshouldwehomeschool
