"So it's not school, exactly, at home - where it's like "this is your teacher, these are your books - good luck!" It's like ok - well we have to learn math. We need to know some math - math is important for almost anything you do, because you have to understand your finances and if you're in to Bitcoin, you have to understand how the world works. You have to understand how interest works and all this stuff - you have to know some math! So we talk about that - you have to know some basics here. We'll probably need to do some financial education with our kids too - so it's not just going to be like math. It's going to be: "let's talk about how you make money and how money is made and what happens when you get a loan...."

Dr Claire Honeycutt is a university professor who - ironically - doesn’t trust the school system to teach her kids. Her words not mine. Swipe for a tweet of hers that went viral explaining why... it seems she’s not alone in this stance!
She is an Associate Professor at a large research university with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, with a specialty in Neuroscience. She does pedagogical (teaching) research focusing on improving student outcomes and persistence through psychological interventions, targeted at reducing anxiety and building community. Claire has taught thousands of students and coaches other teachers how to be more effective.
Claire also homeschools her two children (9 and 6yrs old) because she believes in self-directed, student-led learning. As an example, she loves classical style education where her children learn history - not just by exploring a culture’s activities, but also exploring their stories & art. Ultimately, Claire believes in non-coercive education and considers it her job to make something interesting enough to be chosen freely by her children.
