One of the best things that has come out of Covid in 2020 is a massive movement away from the standard education system and toward alternative learning. One of the thoughts leaders of this movement is Kerry McDonald, author of the book "Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom" (Chicago Review Press, 2019). Kerry talks about how unschooling is different from homeschooling and how to navigate these crazy times where regular school just isn't the standard option. Is our education system wrong? Should education be standardized? Kerry shares her journey and thoughts on it all.
