Excellent post. You are right on all accounts. It’s what is missing in our American schooling system. We were lucky to have a bright daughter that traditional brick and mortar school bored her to death. So we embarked on a series of adventures that included Blakes Boles Unschool Adventure trips, boarding school, a year in Belgium with RYE, and other fun stuff. We sat down each year and charted a new course depending on what she wanted to learn next. I learned to step back and act more as a facilitator rather than anything else. She seemed to know just what she needed and when. Still does at 28 which is wonderful. Funny enough she went into education, sort of, she works with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Walmart, and others on education to workforce issues in big data. I’m still figuring it out 😂.
