Home Schooling Call-in Program

July 29, 2003
It's summertime and while most kids are enjoying time away from class many children are still reading, writing essays, doing math problems and taking field trips.

Their teachers aren't school employees, they are their parents or relatives or friends. Do children who attend class at home learn more easily? Do they better perform academic skills? Are they socially well adjusted?

This live program focussed on these questions and included phone calls from listeners throughout the hour.

Our in-studio guests included Jeff and Diane Baxter, and Barbra Comito, home schooling parents from Spokane, Lyn Erickson, the former Administrator of the Enrichment Cooperative in Spokane and Janice Hedin, Chair of the Advocacy Committee for the Washington Homeschool Orginization.
