Smarticle - Unschooling

Smarticle

Today we dive deep into the controversial trend of unschooling (release the Kraken), where children direct their own education without formal classes or curriculums. We discuss the origins of unschooling, its rise post-COVID, and the potential social and academic challenges it poses. We do an honest critique of the unschooling movement, highlighting the importance of structure in education while addressing concerns about the traditional school system's flaws. We pay special attention to perspectives on religious motivations for homeschooling and the influence of social media. The episode closes with a humorous take on our personalities and potential dinner party guest lists.
