Beginning in 2017, Stark Raving Dad has developed a following of tens of thousands of parents who are deeply passionate about the education of their children, and are highly active in their family life.
The topic of home education sets people apart from the typical family experience. Parents educating at home face a big challenge in going against the grain – not just in the important responsibility they have taken on, but also the defence of it when asked to justify their choice by family, friends and even complete strangers.
As a seasoned unschooler, husband of an ex-teacher, and son of a tenured tertiary lecturer in education, I am super passionate about helping people find their way on this journey. My mission is to change the perception of home education, globally, and to help it become accepted as a wonderful way to raise a family.
We’re at a moment in history where home education makes more sense than ever. I love the challenge of offering support and comfort to home educators around the world, whose numbers have grown significantly over the past 18 months. The numbers are up globally, but the statistics from the US are simply staggering: at the start of 2020 around 3.3% of households were homeschooling. Now, it’s closer to 12%.
This is a movement of people who are opting to make positive, meaningful change in the lives of their families.
The Life Without School podcast launched in September 2021 and has already amassed hundreds of thousands of downloads. I’m interested in talking to potential sponsors who are aligned with family lifestyle and the home education movement.
