She joined the Future of Education to discuss her work, dispel misconceptions about homeschooling, and consider the future of this growing trend. I was intrigued to explore her observations that, through modularity, families can pull apart socialization, childcare, and the learning itself to make the benefits of homeschooling much more accessible.

One potential solution is\u00a0reinventing high school\u00a0to ensure every young person is exposed to the world of work through career-oriented education and learning.
