This is such a powerful talk by someone who has always been unschooled, speaking about the new research around how we learn and why freedom and enthusiasm are so essential in learning. It reminds me of why I unschool my own children and why this is the only logical way forward for education. Here are some of my favourite quotes form this talk:
"Playing is the best learning device ever designed."
"The latest research shows that our brain grows when we use it with enthusiasm."
"Instead of asking ourselves what we can teach this child we should ask what we can learn from these children."
"When children go out into the world they plant new seeds in the hearts of the people they meet."
If this moves you, you must join us for the Learning Reimagined Conference in Feb 2017 where we will be discussing exactly how you can implement this philosophy with your own kids and answering all your questions (and dealing with all your fears)!
