How Public Schools Crush Creativity and Critical Thinking
I sat down with Hannah Frankman, founder of Renegade Educator and an advocate for alternative education models, to explore her insights on the flaws in traditional public schooling and the innovative approaches that could shape the future of learning. Hannah shares her personal experience growing up as a homeschool kid, which she believes is a more natural and effective approach that reflects how humans have learned for almost all of history. We delve into various educational models, from Montessori and Waldorf to micro-schools and homeschooling, and how each can foster critical thinking, creativity, and self-directed learning in children. Hannah also highlights the role of technology in education and the potential of micro-schools to revolutionize how we think about learning environments.
