About this listen

 In "On the Front Lines" latest episode, host Nikki Taylor explores the growing trend of homeschooling and the reasons why more parents are opting for this alternative to traditional education. She discusses how the increase in homeschooling is not merely a response to the recent pandemic, but rather a reaction to larger systemic issues in our educational institutions. Taylor explores how parents are seeking methods of schooling that are aligned more to their beliefs and values, are safer, offer personalized learning experiences, and that provide a more comprehensive representation of cultural backgrounds. She delves into issues around the lack of trauma-informed practices and the absence of restorative justice in current schools, detailing how homeschooling can provide a solution to these concerns. Taylor also shares her personal journey of homeschooling and how it allows for a nurturing learning environment prioritizing both mental wellbeing and academic success. The episode concludes emphasizing that the surge in homeschooling indicates parents' need for personalized education solutions, especially for marginalized groups requiring trauma-informed care and restorative justice in their children's learning environments.
