Da Ladies #11 | Does unschooling work?


Listen Later

Can the question "Does unschooling work?" be inherently flawed?

Join us in Episode 11 of Da Ladies Fixing the World as we challenge conventional thinking and dive deep into the philosophy of unschooling. We examine societal pressures and the need for validation that often accompany this question and provide insights from various unschooling and homeschooling communities.

By exploring parental concerns and celebrating their triumphs, we underscore the importance of focusing on individual growth and happiness over performative success. We also redefine what it means for education to "work" by contrasting the rigid outcomes of traditional schooling with the fluid, adaptable nature of unschooling. Using the metaphor of coffee, we highlight the importance of natural growth and learning without predefined checklists.

Discover how unschooling fosters problem-solving skills and unique learning journeys, allowing children to thrive in a more open and supportive environment.

The episode wraps up with thoughtful reflections on human experience, judgment, and the flexibility required in both parenting and education. 

🗓️ Recorded June 7th, 2024. 📍 At  Åmarksgård, Lille Skendsved, Denmark
