Summary
Podcaster Jennifer Welch called homeschooling "trickle-down stupidity" and compared it to child abuse — so Todd breaks down what she actually got wrong. He shares his own family's homeschooling experience, walks through the real numbers (3.4 million K-12 kids homeschooled nationwide, scoring 15-25 percentile points above public-school peers), and covers the swift pushback from the U.S. Department of Education. Plus: a local win, as Todd's own school board votes 4-1 to let homeschooled kids play public school sports. Conservative, not bitter talk on the story of the week.
