I'd be surprised if Shoshanna provided a good homeschool education to her kids, considering that she seems pretty under-educated herself. By her own admission she spent most of Jeremiah and Penelope's younger years sick in bed and shilling her herbs/Plexus when she *was* well. I just don't believe she could have been homeschooling those kids appropriately.

I'd also love to know how the other Brown kids are doing today. Blair, who in her 20s married 17 year old Taylor Tsantles and popped kid after kid after kid. Claudia, the youngest who pretty much was never mentioned. And of course Mr. (Scott's own words...) David Brown, the heir to Scott's dynasty, who started building his very own house at the age of thirteen and married his childhood friend (whose name escapes me now) who, surprise surprise, started popping out kid after kid after kid, too.

Shoshanna "sets the record straight" after getting questions about her relationship with her parents and their books. 

What I learned from this is that:

--divorce is ok if you "care about your generations" and your husband is a Pharisee

-- she continually misuses the phrase "generations before me" to mean her descendants, not her ancestors

--public school was not her choice for her kids, but her ex-husband's 

-- she is a little scared that her 18 year old son is engaged (does not acknowledge that to the public eye she's groomed him to marry as a teen/very young i.e. her "To Date or Not To Date" series).

-- she has nothing negative to say about "Created to be His Helpmeet" but indicates that reprobate minds and pornography in the church are to blame for abusive marriages, not her parent's teachings. (This angers me, as I can directly and specifically link the teachings in CTBHH to enabling and prolonging abuse (and my co-dependency/subservience) in my own marriage and at least 6 close friend's marriages.)

I wonder if Kelly & her 2nd husband had to attend one of these "how to be married" seminars before tying the knot.
