More from Maureen about this episode…

I met Jean upon the recommendation of my dear friend, Zeenath Ansari Selvakumar. My 3 children have been educated in the public school system yet I always had a keen interest in what other types of schooling looked like. Jean beautifully tells us her own story moving from traditional schooling to unschooling her two children. Her work shows us that self-directed learning is not only a possible alternative to conventional school, but highly successful and a critical concept for the future of education to boot.
