Friday Feature: Lucas Literacy Lab

Colleen Hroncich

When both of Amanda Lucas’s daughters were diagnosed with serious medical conditions within the same month, conventional school became impossible. They were spending too much time at hospitals. She was already running a homeschool pod for her younger daughter, so she pulled her tenth grader out and started homeschooling her, too.

That year changed everything.

Her high schooler thrived with autonomy over her learning. She studied Puerto Rican history alongside American history.
