No one knows your kids better than you do, so who better to teach them? Maybe you don’t think of yourself as a teacher and the thought of homeschooling sounds too difficult. Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with Jay and Heidi St. John, who homeschooled their seven kids and founded Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center. They share three keys to a successful schooling model: flexibility, the one-on-one tutorial model, and a vision of Christian discipleship. The results? On average, kids who are homeschooled test three grade levels higher than their public school peers.
