I'm on the Homeschool Netcast Tomorrow

There's a new YouTube podcast channel for homeschoolers this year called the Homeschool Netcast Network.  The show is hosted by Gerald McKoy, a Christian, Husband, and Father of 5 homeschooled boys.  He is also currently serving as the Vice President on the Board of Directors of the Christian Home Educators Association of California (CHEA of CA). Homeschool Netcast Network is devoted to supporting the existing homeschool community and evangelizing more christian parents to homeschool their children by providing news, interviews, and inspiring stories found within the homeshcool community. I'm honored to have been asked to be interviewed and am looking forward to sharing my homeschool story with their audience tomorrow. X If you liked this post, make sure to subscribe...
