Every email you read from me is me, writing directly to you. Imagine me writing at my kitchen island, early in the morning before the house wakes up. Or late, late at night when my teens aren’t chatty. Everyone is talking about AI these days — schools and educators especially. If education models didn’t change in …

Twenty-five years later, I received an email from a TIME reporter wanting to talk about Woke Homeschooling curriculum. Anytime a reporter from a national publication calls, it’s special. …
