#AI is reshaping what’s possible in education. In our latest blog post, Eric Perez explores how.

We couldn’t agree more with Robert’s take on the future of education. Schools often prioritize the “right” answer, but entrepreneurship demands something different: creativity, resilience, and a willingness to try (and fail). Robert’s post explores how homeschooling uniquely nurtures these skills, creating space for kids to explore and think freely. Check out his insights, linked below and in the comment section. 👇
When I think about the future my (future) kids will step into, it’s clear the skills they’ll need go beyond what’s usually emphasized in classrooms. Creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability are essentials in a world that values innovation over rote learning. In this new blog, I talk about why I believe homeschooling is a powerful path to nurturing these skills. It’s more than an alternative to traditional school. It’s a way to give kids the space to explore, make mistakes, and think outside the box. If you’re curious about how homeschooling can foster the entrepreneurial mindset that today’s workforce demands, check it out and feel free to reach out to schedule a coffee chat if you're interested in the space! https://lnkd.in/giwpveX4

In our latest blog post, Jonathan explores the ROI of homeschooling, focusing on the long-term benefits for children's personal and intellectual growth. While financial savings are part of the story, homeschooling’s flexibility in curriculum and the opportunity to foster deeper parent-child relationships provide lasting value. Read the full article linked in the comment section ⬇️
When we first switched from private school to homeschooling, it wasn't about the financial aspect (although saving money was definitely a bonus!) It was about creating a learning experience that truly fit our children's needs. What I've come to realize is the real ROI of homeschooling is so much more than just dollars saved. It's about fostering personal growth and curiosity and giving kids the flexibility to thrive. That's why I'm so passionate about what we're building at SmartPath. We're all about helping families make homeschooling easier, more effective, and tailored to each child's unique journey. In our latest blog, I dive into our homeschooling experience and why I believe it's a worthwhile investment. ⬇ Link in comments ⬇
