Connect Savannah’s WRUU Spotlight continues with a profile of Leza Chandler, host of Happy Homeschooler SAV . interview written by  Jim Morekis. Not to be missed. 08/20/2020.

“Those Happy Homeschoolers.” Airing every Wednesday at 2 p.m., Chandler’s show explores misconceptions about homeschooling, shares stories of local homeschooling families, and uncovers what she calls “the hidden truth of life as a homeschooler in Savannah.”

You’re a veteran of homeschooling, long before the pandemic. Different people have different reasons to do it — what first prompted you into homeschooling?

Like many parents, our decision to homeschool was made because our youngest child was struggling in school. She developed a severe case of testing anxiety and although we tried multiple ways to help her, nothing worked.

Then one day I happened to be talking to our oldest daughter’s teacher about our problems and he asked if we’d ever considered homeschool. Turns out he homeschooled his own children even though he worked for the school system. We’d never even thought about homeschooling before, but the rest, as they say, is history.
