About this episode

Janae Daniels shares her experience of using 1800s and early 1900s textbooks for homeschooling and the lessons learned from this approach.

In this episode, I share the surprising results, the books we're using, and why these simple, straightforward resources may hold lessons modern education has forgotten.
