129. Training Adults, Not Raising Children with Jon Couch
About this episode
In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Jon Couch from Southern Alberta. Jon is a homeschool father of six children, former IT tech, and entrepreneur. When he and his wife, Angela, decided to homeschool, Jon’s primary motivation was controlling the curriculum and avoiding what he considered dangerous ideologies in the public system. He has also had concerns about peer-driven socialization combined with access to cell phones and a world of unmonitored technology use. In our conversation, Jon shares his family’s core purpose centered on kindness, we discuss the homeschool and life division of labor between Jon and Angela, and Jon reveals the greatest challenge and greatest reward in his experience as a homeschool dad. This episode is a must-listen for all homeschool fathers and couples.
