Summary
The most needed parts of childhood are disappearing right in front of us, and former school principal Mandy Davis believes parents need to pay attention. In her second appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Mandy shares why she walked away from a career in education, what finally convinced her to homeschool her own children, and why so many parents have been taught to trust institutions more than themselves. Ginny and Mandy talk about the myths surrounding homeschooling, the surprising freedom that comes from building an education around a real child instead of a system, and why confidence (not credentials) is often the missing ingredient. Whether you're homeschooling, considering it, or simply wondering if there might be a better way to support your child's growth, this conversation is a powerful reminder that nobody knows your child better than you do.
