What does it take to raise kids who thrive outside the traditional classroom? In Episode 2 of the Feel Northern Air Podcast, Joe and Melissa Bates dive into the uncharted waters of homeschooling after a move to Minnesota leaves them isolated and searching for connection. A chance encounter with a fellow homeschooling family sparks a lifeline—practical advice, philosophies, and a fresh lens on learning that reshape their approach. From clashing over desks versus “living books” to embracing a rhythm of service, work, and passion-driven education, they unpack how this journey forged their kids into resilient, engaged adults. Ian’s aerospace obsession, fueled by Civil Air Patrol, and the family’s commitment to a third-service model illustrate a striking truth: failure isn’t the enemy—it’s the teacher. This episode is a candid, textured look at betting on curiosity over conformity, with lessons that ripple beyond the homeschool bubble.
