What happens when a passionate public school teacher realizes the system she’s devoted her life to is built on control, coercion, and outdated standards? In this powerful episode of The Homeschool How To Podcast , former K–12 teacher Angela Harders shares her eye-opening journey from traditional education to homeschooling and ultimately unschooling her own children. After over a decade in the classroom, Angela came to a painful conclusion: she was part of a system that often relied on fear, compliance, and force—not freedom or curiosity. Her story begins with a desk thrown across the room on her very first day of teaching—and ends with her daughter launching a popsicle business by age 7, all without ever using a formal curriculum. Angela opens up about: Her shift from teacher to unschooling parent Why she believes children can learn 13 years of math in just 6 months How her daughter learned to read without being taught Why the education system is designed for obedience, not understanding The power of real-world learning and self-direction How she now helps families legally unschool through PAX Academy and Peaceful World Schoolers Whether you're a curious parent, frustrated teacher, or seasoned homeschooler, Angela’s story will challenge everything you think you know about education—and inspire you to rethink what learning really looks like. 👉 If you've ever searched: "Should I homeschool my child?"
