Henry talks with Alex Burke, the visionary CEO of New Zealand EduTech company, Education Perfect (EP). This conversation was originally broadcast on 97.7FM Casey Radio in February 2023. Executive Producer: Rob Kelly.

In this episode I want to help you build your de-schooling muscle. The process of taking everything you know about education, wiping your mental slate as clean as possible, and coming at the whole idea of how children learn as fresh as you can.To do that, I want to take you through five commonly held beliefs about education and childhood. Through this conversation, you will grow progressively more aware of ideas you've probably held since you were a child. Ideas that have far less substance than you think.  And you will grow progressively more empowered to take hold of your own children's education in a way that works for you as a family. Whether that's by shedding the beliefs we talk through today, or the many others we often find ourselves holding onto.My hope is that the way we talk through these things helps you apply it to any other worries that ever trouble you. This list is far from exhaustive, and there are many angles you can and should examine your own beliefs from. Today, I'll give you the spark to go deeper.Thanks to the sponsor for this episode, Education Perfect. They offer home education software for years 5-12.

Welcome back to another question and answer episode - where I take some time to dig into things you all want to hear more about it. They might be things you're personally struggling with, or worried about, or planning for...and I really love having these conversations, because it's always such a great reminder that we're not alone on this road.In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on these three questions:1) What are some key phrases you can use here and there to help encourage your children, to help them find those interests and spend their time there?2) How do you handle the fear that your children might be unhappy with you - when they grow up - for choosing such an unconventional path for them?3) How do I work through the worry of no longer being able to home educate if our life circumstances change drastically - like, financially, or through health - and our children have to go back to school?Thanks to the sponsor for this episode, Education Perfect.

Home educating parents often put a huge amount of pressure on themselves to perform the role of being a teacher, and in this episode I want to talk through why I believe the stress, tension, and feelings of failure that so often come from that are unnecessary.First, we'll talk through four reasons why I believe it's a mistake to try and be a teacher to your home educated child. Then, we'll talk through some different ways of thinking about the role you can play instead.  My hope is that by the end of this chat you're able to free yourself of the pressure, expectation and tension that can come from trying to be both a parent and a teacher.Thanks to the sponsor for this episode, Education Perfect.

Asking our children to all learn the same things, at the same times, in the same groups, in the same spaces, with only the same ages……is effectively asking them to become the same as everyone else.It's asking them to think less about their true selves, and more about what the most accepted version of it might be. It's asking them to see their uniqueness as a bad thing, and fitting in as good. No, more than that – critical.And to me, this fundamentally undermines what being a human being is all about.See, I believe every child has their own story. And in this episode of the Life Without School Podcast, I want to make a plea to let more of them tell it.Education Perfect offers fun and engaging homeschool software for years 5-12.
