Here is Part 2 of our conversation with Monique Zubiate, a Program Assistant at Middle Tree who works with students at Barfield Elementary School in Pomona. In this episode, she and Dr. Joseph Atman talk about the challenges and benefits of home schooling. Monique did it before the pandemic forced many parents to take on the role and was instrumental in helping many of her friends made the transition. And while Monique calls it some of the best years of her life with her children, she also talks about an episode of "Mom Guilt" when one of her daughters made the transition to a traditional school setting. Monique shares her insights into the pros and cons of home schooling and how she feels it played an important role in who her children are today. In the Middle Tree Minute, we look at how games - even video games - can be a very beneficial tool in education and we talk about what war we are fighting when Dr Atman gives us another look into his book A Philosophical War.
