The Homeschool Advantage is a podcast about reclaiming learning as a way of life.
Hosted by educator, author, and instructional leader Bex Buzzie, the show explores how families, teachers, and educational leaders can support meaningful learning—whether children are homeschooled, enrolled in public or charter schools, or navigating a blend of both.
Drawing from over two decades in education and recent work in educational leadership, Bex brings together voices from across the learning landscape, including homeschool families, classroom teachers, curriculum creators, microschools, co-ops, and education innovators.
This is not a podcast about choosing the “perfect” system.
It’s about partnership, posture, and presence.
Whether you’re a parent supporting learning at home, a teacher rethinking instruction, or an educator seeking deeper alignment between school and life, The Homeschool Advantage offers thoughtful conversations, practical insights, and a return to the basics of how learning actually happens.
Because homeschooling isn’t a location.
It’s a posture.

Intro
Andrew Pudewa director and speaker of IEW Institute of Excellence in Writing is passionate about teaching and equipping parents to instruct their children's education. What makes IEW stand out from other language arts programs is the focus on teaching the parent or homeschool teacher to know the material. This not only brings confidence to the parents but the child by fostering strong writing and communication skills. IEW has a long legacy from 1930's to current day that maintains a gold standard of excellence for all learning styles, challenges and differences!
Top three takeaways
- Teaching creative writing without basics and fundamentals is like giving a child a musical instrument and telling them these are the different notes on this instrument keep playing for the next 10 years and let's see what comes of it, which is our current system of literary writing.
- Homeschooling is so much more accessible than in the past, because of the onset of co-ops, micro-schools, Facebook groups and the variety of educational material that offer new families joining the homeschool community an solid association; of similar beliefs and values.
- Academia is the least important thing in our growth and development as children it is at best 2nd. We need to do a lot of things together with our family and friends and build those relationships. At the end of our life we will not be taking with us all of the accolades and knowledge we have obtained in academia but the connections, relationships and memories we built within the years of our life.

Chris Fugelsang CEO and Founder of Exceptional Path. Chris has a passion for helping students with executive functioning delays, this passion stems from his own experience. Executive functions are the brain skills needed to plan, organize, prioritize, manage time, get started, and stay focused.
Chris was always a good student but he found he was often forgetful, disorganized, and scattered that's when he decided to commit himself to becoming a better learner and figure out how his brain works. He believes that the school expects children to know and apply the content but never taught the skills that children needed to acquire it. It was this discovery that sparked his desire to help kids with unique learning profiles.
Top three takeaways
- Executive Functioning is the right fit for your child.
- With strong executive functioning we're more able to complete tasks, juggle a few different ideas in mind at a time, be flexible with our thinking, and manage our emotions when things don't go as planned.
- How executive functioning skills are more important now than ever.
