Rethinking Education with Nicki Truesdell

Yvette Hampton talks with Nicki Truesdell, mother of 5, second-generation homeschooler, and author of Anyone Can Homeschool. Nicki will share her stories of home education through many ups and downs, including being a single parent and dealing with a chronic health issue, and how she learned to adapt to every situation.

Moms and dads, you have all that it takes to educate your children, whether your circumstances are ideal or not.

Nicki Truesdell is a second-generation homeschooler and the author of Anyone Can Homeschool. Texas born and raised, she is mother to five children and a homemaker at heart, who loves books, freedom, history, and quilts. Nicki believes that homeschooling can be relaxed and that history is fun, and both can be done with minimal cost or stress, no matter your family’s circumstances.

Nicki is also a member of the Texas Home Educators Board of Directors.
