E23 - The Power of Unschooling. Growing Up Unschooling with Summer Jean
What if the traditional education system is doing more harm than good?
In our conversation with Summer Jean, a 34-year-old grown unschooler, we explore her unique upbringing and how it has shaped her life. Raised by a mother who trusted her children's innate ability to learn without any required academia, Summer Jean and her three brothers grew up free from workbooks, curriculums, and traditional school settings.
Throughout our discussion, we examine the differences between world schooling and unschooling, as well as the pressures and fears that unschooled children might face from family members who expect them to conform to conventional education systems. We also delve into the hypocrisy of traditional education, which trains children not to make their own choices for 12 years, only to expect them to have it all figured out by the time they turn 18.
Join us as we uncover the impact of unschooling on Summer Jean's life, highlighting the importance of trusting your children's innate ability to learn, encouraging independence, and fostering an environment where they can thrive.
Discover how unschooling can lead to a life full of critical thinking, personal growth, and self-discovery, and challenge your beliefs and understandings around traditional education systems.
