There are so many theories about education—and almost all of them are as dumb as rocks. Why? Because they’ve taken what God built into every human—the ability to learn and teach—and turned it into a business. Hi, I’m Sherry Hayes, mom of 15 and homeschooler for over 36 years. In this episode of Mom Delights, I’ll share how modern education became a self-serving system built on jargon and bureaucracy, and how we can return to something far simpler—and far more powerful. We’ll talk about:

🌿 The truth behind “education theories” and why they fail

📖 What real learning looks like: Observe, Think, Do

🇺🇸 How early American education and the McGuffey Readers reflected biblical truth

🧠 The inspiring story of George Washington Carver’s God-led genius

🏡 Why homeschooling allows us to rediscover God’s original plan for learning
