    Homeschool:Liberal Shield or Setback? Episode 528
    Niall Boylan

In this episode, Niall sparks a heated conversation after mentioning he knows parents who chose to homeschool their three young children. Their reason? As Christian parents, they don’t want their kids’ heads “filled with liberal nonsense.”

To unpack this divisive issue, Niall is joined by Elaine Mullaly, alongside educators and a host of callers. The discussion covers the pros and cons of homeschooling:

Supporters argue that homeschooling allows parents to protect their children’s values, tailor education to their needs, and avoid ideological agendas in schools.

Critics counter that children may miss out on vital socialisation, teamwork, and the wider perspectives they’d gain in a classroom environment.

Educators weigh in on whether homeschooling equips children with the academic and social skills they’ll need later in life.

With strong opinions on both sides, the episode explores a central question: does homeschooling safeguard children’s future—or hold them back?
