The Catholic Radical Unschool Cheese and other stories

After a 2-month break, I’m back with a new podcast episode!

Yes, this morning, I plugged the mic into my computer and started talking. I had lots to share!

In episode 87, I answer the following questions:

  • What is unschooling?

  • Why is unschooling different from other methods of homeschooling? Could it not be a method at all?

  • Should we make kids do things they don’t want to do? Would that be good for them?

  • Is there such a thing as providing a too happy life for our kids? Should we get them used to the fact that life in the bigger world won’t always be happy?

  • Are we easily distracted? Have most of us lost our ability to focus and do deep work?

  • Can we survive without social media? Do we need it if we have something we want to share with the world?

  • Can series such as Downton Abbey lead to some wonderful learning experiences?

  • Are quiet times valuable and even essential?

  • What is The Catholic Radical Unschool Cheese?

  • Can unschooling kids work hard?

  • Is a parent’s attitude important when it comes to chores and other mundane tasks?

  • What have my children been doing recently?
