Ever wonder how an immigrant from Taiwan with no homeschooling experience became a passionate advocate for classical education? In this heartfelt conversation, Delise speaks with Yating Haller, a book representative for Classical Conversations (CC) in Central Indiana and homeschool mom of seven years. Born in Taiwan and raised in Singapore, Yating shares her remarkable journey from fearful beginner to confident homeschool educator. The episode concludes with an important clarification about the phrase "trust the process" in classical education, emphasizing that it refers to trusting the natural learning progression (the trivium) rather than blindly following a curriculum. https://www.facebook.com/dragonflyhaller/ https://www.instagram.com/cccentralindiana/ Parent Practicum events are hosted around the globe each year, inspiring and equipping parents to become better “everyday educators.” Combining the encouragement of community, integration of ideas, and practice with the classical skills, Parent Practicum is a once-a-year parent investment.
