Avoidance Fuels Anxiety

<p>This week we talk about the move towards more homeschooling and the alternatives to traditional schooling. The downside to alternative learning is that it almost always comes with a cost. There should be more alternative ways of learning that are free. We also talk about the confusing conversation surrounding our kids and technology.
