Ep 77 - Kerry McDonald | Unschooled: The Power of Self-Directed Learning

In this episode we break down the issues with forced, coercive systemised schooling, the alternatives available and the potential possible when we foster environments where children have the freedom to pursue their individual passions and interests.  Kerry McDonald is a Senior Education Fellow at FEE and host of the weekly LiberatED podcast. She is also the author of Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom (Chicago Review Press, 2019), an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, and a regular Forbes contributor.
