Together with Peter Gray, we explored the concept of self-directed education.
Peter Gray emphasizes the importance of play and independence in children's learning.
The discussion highlights the shortcomings of the traditional school system and encourages parents to embrace unconventional educational approaches that foster curiosity and resilience in their children.
Subjects we. cover:
• Education is more than just formal schooling
• Children naturally possess curiosity and a desire to learn
• Historical contexts of education involved broader community engagement
• Modern parenting often restricts children's independence and learning opportunities
• Risky play is essential for developing confidence and problem-solving skills
• Traditional schooling is structured more for obedience than creativity
• Shift towards self-directed learning and homeschooling is gaining momentum
• Importance of community support for parents opting out of traditional education
🗓️ Recorded January 14th, 2025. 📍Åmarksgård, Denmark
