In this episode, Steph & Steph are joined once again by homeschooling mamas Ileana and Nancy, AND public school art teacher, Kelly Montgomery, for our first ever roundtable discussion between people on both sides.

We’re not going to lie, we were nervous when we hit the record button.

All three women are extremely passionate about what they do.

But as the conversation unfolded, and the ladies shared their thoughts about curriculums, learning opportunities, timelines & standardization, something beautiful happened.

They found common ground in their deep passion for education, and their unwavering commitment to giving their kids the best possible learning experiences.

Although the ladies shared very different perspectives on various topics (ie reading at grade level vs living math), this common thread empowered us to keep the conversation civil, respectful and enjoyable for everybody.

In fact, by the time the conversation wrapped up, everybody had gained a new understanding & appreciation for the other side!

We’re calling this conversation a major win!
