EP 58: Unschooling, Unlearning and Self-Directed Education

Those African Chicks - Exploring Identities of African Women

In this episode, I catch up with return guest Clarissa Bannor of This Afropolitan Life. Since Clarissa introduced me to the ideology of schooling and self -directed education, I have been completely fascinated and intrigued by this principle.

To simplify, Unschooling is the idea that education does not only take place within the falls walls of a ‘school’ and within the confined timings of 8 – 3p. It is rooted in the ideaology that students/children are experts in their own learning styles and can self-direct their learning capabilities. In this episode we talk about

1. Clarissa’s unlearning journey as a parent raising free people
2. Her observations of from watching her children’s in their unschooling journey’s
3. Share general observations and thoughts on the drop out culture
