Homeschooling sometimes begins when parents realize the education system is not serving their child. 

In this episode of Non Linear Learning, Dr. Vaish Sarathy speaks with Victoria Lenormand, a former detective turned holistic health practitioner and homeschooling parent, about what it takes to trust a child's internal compass and let go of conventional definitions of success.

Victoria brings an evidence-based perspective to homeschooling. Trained to observe patterns and follow facts, she applied that same mindset to her son's learning and recognized that a linear schooling model was taking enormous energy just to maintain — without supporting his identity or growth.

Together, Vaish and Victoria explore:

  1. How to build the mindset needed for homeschooling

  2. The 3 factors learning is built around when done right. 

  3. How to interpret stubbornness or "wilfulness" in a way that works for your child, and 

  4. Why the energy cost of education is critical information for parents

This conversation is for parents considering homeschooling, questioning traditional schooling, or feeling the constant friction between who their child is and what school expects.

As we reflect in the episode:

"When something in education takes enormous energy just to maintain, it's worth asking whether it's actually working."
