58: Responding to Unschooling and Other Critics

 In this week's podcast, I discuss the following questions:

 

• Do I have all the unschooling answers?
• How do we respond to unschooling critics?
• Are labels important?
• Can you call yourself an unschooler if you require maths but let the child choose the method?
• When should we start strewing resources before our children? Should we wait until they develop a particular interest?
• How do we translate natural learning experiences into the right educational language?
• Do we need to be curious people?
• How can we find lots of everyday learning to add to our records books?
• When we've read all the Jane Austen novels, what can we read next?

I hope you'll listen to this week's episode!
