You don't believe in unschooling? Education rebel ⁠Mariana ⁠Ludmila Cortez will change that. She has two unschooled kids, who are now studying in university – yes, you read that right, the two are studying like “normal” young adults. 

In this episode, ⁠founder ⁠of the two educational projects Desescolarizados and ⁠Edularity⁠, tells us how she went from homeschooling to unschooling, and why giving up on the way is perfectly normal. Also, we have a little “Bitcoin rabbit hole” moment here and there, because ⁠Mariana ⁠is as fascinated as me by the decentralized nature of the first ever cryptocurrency:

“I also got attracted about what's blockchain, and what's Bitcoin? So when I started to research what was that, it completely made sense. The philosophy, the peer-to-peer, decentralized approach. And to me, it was like an immediate connection to education, and I was like, ok that is liberty, that is how I educate my kids: peer-to-peer, decentralized.”
