Summary

Angela Rigby has homeschooled her six children for 13 years - and never tried to recreate school at home. In this conversation she shares the method behind it: get the bookwork done in a few focused morning hours, then hand the kids their afternoons. Two of her sons earned associate's degrees before finishing high school. A daughter is writing her first novel. And her 19-year-old taught himself Zulu and helped restore the plumbing for a school of 1,400 students in South Africa. RESOURCESStory of the World: https://welltrainedmind.com/c/series/...
