Danusia Malina-Derben talks with Rosie Sherry about what it really means to educate and parent outside the system. Rosie, a home educator and founder of a global tech community, shares the story of pulling her children out of school—not out of rebellion, but out of radical care. What followed wasn’t just a change in schooling—it was a reordering of her entire life.

Together, Danusia and Rosie talk about the mismatch between modern schooling and real children, the pressure for constant peer socialising, and why introverted kids often get left behind. Rosie also reflects on building a business while home educating five kids, what success looks like when you stop chasing other people’s definitions, and why she no longer wants to “scale” just because she can.

This is a conversation about instinct, discernment, and the quiet power of doing things differently.
