Why We Quit Homeschooling

February 17, 2026 · 48 min

Show notes

We didn’t think we would ever say this out loud… but we quit homeschooling.

In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda share the real story behind that decision — what was working, what wasn’t, and why they ultimately chose something different for this season of family life.

If you’ve ever felt tension around schooling decisions — whether you homeschool, do hybrid or in person school — this episode will likely feel relatable in the best way because sometimes faithfulness means pivoting.


In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why we originally chose homeschooling

  • The unexpected stressors that emerged

  • How this decision affected our daily rhythms and finances

  • The pressure Catholic families can feel around schooling choices

  • How to discern schooling decisions without ego or comparison
