The latest Tesco Productions audiobook recording has been completed. Mandy Davis was here to record her book A Matter of Principal. Mandy is an educator and has seen education from multiple angles and perspectives. As Mandy and her children navigated their way through the more “standard education system”, Mandy found herself becoming quite disenfranchised and concerned about the processes and outcomes. Her observations and participation as a school educator and eventually principal led her to believe there were better ways to educate, and these thoughts led her family to choose an alternate path. The result was choosing a journey of schooling at home. Using her experiences, training and intentional study of each child, she molded the mindset, resulting tools and practices into a course change. Transitioning to this new education path was not without its trials and learning moments for everyone, but the outcomes for her family have been quite remarkable. Mandy asks each of her listeners/readers to carefully examine the education journey of their own children. She continues to learn and retool her family’s home education experience, and in sharing those insights she knows each family will need to glean what works for them and make modifications as they go along as well. Mandy champions the process as being well worth the effort.

The recording request came again from ONE Audiobooks, and I was honored to be chosen a third time to record one of their authors. You can find a lot more about Mandy Davis and her homeschool resources on her website, where you’ll also find links to the print version of A Matter of Principal. I’ll provide an update when the audiobook is released. You’ll be hearing more from Mandy in the near future.
