“I have been listening to the Fletcher's for a few months now. It's so refreshing to hear a veteran homeschool family discuss real life situation in such a down to earth manner and voice that homeschooling isn't the magic bullet to save your kids. I think every homeschooler regardless...”Read full review »

“I am grateful for this podcast! Saying it has been life-changing, while it sounds kind of far-fletched (haha! fetched), is really the truth.
