In Malaysia, "homeschool" might mean something completely different. There is a network of "learning centers" in Malaysia commonly referred to as homeschools where students are expected to self-learn without having a proper teacher guiding them through lessons. In this episode, I talk to four other former homeschool students to ask them about their experiences in such a schooling system. We give a candid view into how our school operated and whether or not it provided us with a good education. We also looked at the religious aspects of the school and the qualifications of our educators. Guests are: Cathryn, Xian, Angelina, and Colleen respectively. With this being a two-hour special, feel free to pause along the way or skip ahead if you'd like. Instagram: @theheadinthecloudshow
