Don’t get stressed walking through the vendor hall! Unit studies, classical, traditional, unschooling, relaxed, eclectic—what are all of these approaches to homeschooling, anyway? How is a parent to choose? “I bought the wrong curriculum.” “It’s not working.” “I hate it!” “My friend says that other curriculum is the one.” What do I do? We’ll try to demystify the curriculum jungle and equip you to find the best pathway through it for you and your family—and to enjoy the process!
