Episode 50: Bright & Early - A Story of Radical Acceleration
On episode 50 we talk with Haley Taylor Schlitz, a 17-year-old first-year law student who began college at age 13. We discuss her education experience, some of the barriers of homeschooling, and we imagine what the perfect public school system would be like.
This is a great conversation - a chance to hear first-hand from not only a “homeschooler,” but someone who was able to move at her own pace via acceleration.
