So, what’s the deal with charter schools? We received an email from a listener who works in a local charter school that serves homeschooling families, and he has been surprised by the suspicion homeschoolers tend to bring to the table when the conversation turns to charters.

Yes, we’re having that conversation, and we’re having it with a husband and wife who have worked in and homeschooled through the charter school system in California. What are the pros of homeschooling with a charter school? When should you not?

If you think we didn’t cover the reasons why homeschoolers might choose not to go with a charter, hang on. We did! That conversation is in the bonus content, which you can access by subscribing (it’s free).
