Daniel Prince, author of Choose Life, and host of the Once Bitten Podcast, is sharing some meaningful insights about his family's unschooling journey, and what it means to deschool not only your kids, but yourself.
Daniel and I actually got to know each other at the Liberty in Our Lifetime conference in Prague. At the LIOL everything is about building parallel structures – and exactly this is what this episode is all about! What does unschooling looks like in a family of 4 children, what are the differences between worldschooling and unschooling? But the most important take away of this episode is clearly that Daniel is sharing some not so known truths about the traditional school system, that are uncomfortable to face.
“If anybody listening is thinking about taking their kids out of school, because “the education system is completely broken and not fit for purpose” – spoiler alert, it's not broken, it's working exactly as it was designed to work. The reason your kids are, and you are the way you are, is, the system insidiously points in place to create certain behaviors. And it has nothing to do with learning, it has everything to do with obedience and control.”
