AI, Essays, and Independent Thought: A Better Way to Teach Homeschool Writing (with Justin McGeary) | S7 EP12

If writing assignments feel like a chore — for you or your teen — you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by Justin McGeary, a writing instructor who works with upper-level students using an Oxford-style essay approach that treats writing not as a product… but as a thinking tool.

We talk about:

Why the essay process matters more than the final product (and how to shift this for your teen)
The role of AI in supporting — rather than shortcutting — thinking
And how writing well can impact everything from time management to self-confidence

If you want your teen to be more than just articulate — to be thoughtful and grounded in what they say and believe — this episode is a must-listen.
