What is wrong with our current educational system? And how can we provide our children with a high-quality education in spite of the pervasive issues? In addition to being a lifelong homeschooled student herself, Hannah Frankman uses her podcast to explore the issues in our current school system and creative solutions to provide our children an education that suits their actual needs. I love talking about homeschooling on this podcast, but this episode adds a new dimension to the conversations I have been having. Hannah addresses the question: is homeschooling right for every family? What about socialization? What is the history of the public school system and why does that matter to us today? If you have been on the fence about homeschooling or have questions about what it could look like in your own family, don’t miss this fascinating conversation with Hannah.
In this episode, we cover:
- The unique capabilities Hannah noticed in herself as she entered the “real world” after being homeschooled her whole life
- What busyness is robbing from our children and society as a whole
- How boredom is actually a gift to children
- What a self-directed curiosity-driven education can look like from early years through high school
- Making a case for why homeschooled kids are actually more socialized than their public school peers
- Where did the public school model come from and what is broken about it?
- Analyzing national outcomes of the public school experiment
- How well-intentioned teachers are set up to fail by the public school system
- Hannah’s surprising opinion on the BEST schooling option for children
- No matter what educational path you choose, THIS is the ultimate goal of all education
