Why We Chose Flexi-Schooling — Benefits, Challenges & What It Really Looks Like In this first episode of The Fleximum Life, I'm sharing why we chose flexi-schooling for our family, how it works in the UK, and what a real week looks like in our muddy, messy, joy-filled home ed life. We'll explore the benefits of flexible education, the challenges of part-time school and home learning, and the reasons it's been the right choice for our child's wellbeing and our family values.

In a collaboration between educators from the University of Leuven — who recently organized a conference on the future of schooling — and the ATTC school leadership program, this is a special series of Leading Education with Heart and Soul about the grammar of schooling. Each episode explores one or two key dimensions of what constitutes the fundamental “grammar” of schooling. This time, we ask: can we have, imagine, or create a school without… language and class? Guests are Jorge Larrossa Bondia and Jan Masschelein, and these are their thoughts:Writing puts spoken language at a distance and allows us to reflect on spoken language to deepen our thinking. School provides the time and space to slow down, write, and rethink.At school, it's not about saying what you think, but thinking about what you say. It's also not about which language is dominant, but how one relates to language.Language is a real problem, it is a way of engaging with real worlds, like mathematics and Latin. Learning a second language gives the experience of what language means and does.Language is not merely a tool for communication. It is a practice rooted in love and curiosity, like philology, the science of language as love for language.There are three ways to think about class, our second dimension: as a physical space, as a random grouping of students, and as a space that enables freedom and equality — a collective of learners, not individuals with fixed identities.Both school and class exist to nurture worlds. When they become too focused on teachers, students, personalization, identification, or “natural development,” they loose their essence.You can pedagogically redesign class, but not as learning environment or learning accelerator.This podcast has been made possible through the support of the ATTC School Leadership Program, the educational consultancy School Matters, and the retreat facility The Valley of the Good Life.

Five years ago, schools shut down for the COVID-19 pandemic. Schooling was remote for the rest of the year, and many schools would remain remote for much of the following year.

Five years ago, schools shut down for the COVID-19 pandemic. Schooling was remote for the rest of the year, and many schools would remain remote for much of the following year.Europe took a different approach.In many European countries, schools reopened that first pandemic spring, only weeks after closing. Schools, officials determined, were safe to reopen.So: Why did American schools stay closed so long? Why did America not follow Europe's lead? And why did Europe and the US respond so differently to the same evidence?On this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus discusses these questions, and more, with David Zweig.David Zweig is a journalist and the author of An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions.

Regular listeners of this show know that we frequently explore interpretations and nuances of abolition. When we think of abolition, we often conjure Angela Davis' articulation, that prisons are a way of disappearing people and the social problems that are associated with those people. From that framing, abolition tells us to rethink the social problems being disappeared by prisons, in order to address those problems, as a space from which to grow, where no one person, regardless of how exceptional or not, they are, is disposable. Where the social problems people have engaged with, or experienced, or been structured by, have social solutions, as opposed to locking them away, while making no real changes. On today's show, we add more layers: How embedded are these social issues, in the United States? How were they not only created, but institutionalized and maintained in just about every one of our, life, if not day to day, experiences? Our guest today draws clear and direct lines between the civilizing project that was the conquest of the land that the United States is on, the genocide of indigenous peoples of this land, the institutional formation of enslavement of Black people in its both economic and social functions, and the creation and reinforcment of the idea of citizenship, embedded in every one of our institutions – starting, with schools and schooling, where our young folks learn about their roles, their access, and a false idea of American exceptionalism that still now binds a colonial nexus of success with whiteness and christianity, and embeds economic accumulation as the primary priority of not only our working lives, but our very identities. We're joined now by award-winning author, scholar, cultural organizer, and poet Eve L Ewing, who is from Chicago, now working as a professor at University of Chicago, and a former middle school teacher in that city. Today, we'll be talking about her latest book, Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism. —- Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post Schooling and the Construction of American Racism w/ Eve L Ewing appeared first on KPFA.

In a collaboration between educators from the University of Leuven — who recently organized a conference on the future of schooling — and the ATTC school leadership program, this is a special series of Leading Education with Heart and Soul about the grammar of schooling. Each episode explores one or two key dimensions of what constitutes the fundamental “grammar” of schooling. This time, we ask: can we have, imagine, or create a school without… the invisible and the body? Guests are Daniel Goyvota and Walter Kohan, and we discussed two often-overlooked dimensions of schooling: the invisible dynamics and embodied experiences that escape formal measurement and quantification. These are their thoughts:In an era dominated by datafication, schools, unlike tech corporations, produce relatively little data. Yet they are saturated with invisible layers: emotional, social, and relational dynamics.Rather than relying solely on measurable data and standard metrics, according to Daniel we should explore these invisible layers through Cryptics, a more open, flexible language that helps tracing the tacit and shadowed languages of learners.The use of Cryptics functions as a counterweight to hypervisibility and surveillance. With Cryptics we can protect the hidden and invisible aspects of school.Walter states that the visible and invisible can be compared to the physical and the mental. But maybe it's more accurate to say there are both visible and invisible bodies and minds.Education should focus on real people with real bodies and minds, even if they don't fit the perfect mold.This is especially important in thinking about gender and identity, asking: what is hidden, and what new realities might we discover.This podcast has been made possible through the support of the ATTC ⁠School Leadership Program⁠, the educational consultancy ⁠School Matters⁠, and the retreat facility ⁠The Valley of the Good Life⁠.

Data from the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority shows in 2024, the national student attendance level was 59.9 per cent. In Queensland, the overall attendance rate is 59.1 per cent, 64.1 per cent for primary school students and 51.8 per cent for secondary school students. President of the Queensland Association of State School Principals, Pat Murphy, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "It's a nationwide trend. It's in all schooling sectors. It's in the government schools, but it's also in the Catholic and independent schools." "My biggest thing is that we'd ask that parents and grandparents and community members really get the message out. We've got to send our kids to school because if they're not at school, we actually can't impact learning. So we really need the children there."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An episode that takes a walk down an alternative path.In Episode 128 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, we talk with a guest who is not just a long time listener and supporter of the show, but also an autistic parent of two late-diagnosed autistic young adults. Chrissy and her husband embraced radical unschooling, allowing their children to lead their own learning journeys. What it is, how it works, and why it's been such a game-changer for Chrissy's family?Here's what we cover in today's episode: * We discuss what exactly is unschooling and how is it different from regular home-schooling.* Chrissy and Angela share their experiences parenting as an autistic person while also raising autistic kids, answering the most common critiques and concerns about unschooling.* How do you respond when people ask, “But what about socialization?”* Why reframing unschooling as a way of affirming neurodivergent autonomy should be seen as Autistic liberation.* If someone wants to unschool but can't go “all in” due to work, custody, or finances—what are a few principles they could try on anyway?Chrissy Gardiner's BioChrissy Gardiner is an autistic mom of two late-diagnosed AuDHD young adults. Chrissy and her husband embraced radical unschooling, allowing their children to lead their own learning journeys.

In a collaboration between educators from the University of Leuven — who recently organized a conference on the future of schooling — and the ATTC school leadership program, this is a special series of Leading Education with Heart and Soul about the grammar of schooling. Each episode explores one or two key dimensions of what constitutes the fundamental “grammar” of schooling. This time, we ask: can we have, imagine, or create a school without… politics and schoolwork? Guests are José Miguel Vargas-Pellicer and Inés Dussel, and these are their thoughts:José Miguel uses politics not in the sense of governance, but in the sense of the Greek idea of schole, which means that school is a free pedagogical space for shared attention and study.The school seen as schole introduces newcomers to the world, so we as a society must collectively decide what is important for them to study. This requires an ongoing conversation about the common good, particularly in multicultural and multiethnic societies.From this perspective, school is a site of radical equality, a precondition for political life itself.Schoolwork, our second dimension, is not simply about academic tasks, but a specific mode of attention, perception, and disciplined engagement — a translation of oral into written expression, embedded in rituals and gestures. It is a communal activity that invites everyone to the table as equals.School is the only place where you're asked, through schoolwork, to validate what you've learned and to critically engage with it.Schoolwork extends beyond the classroom to communal spaces such as playgrounds and kitchens, each with its own pedagogical logic. Today, however, schoolwork is increasingly individualized, undermining its collective ethos.  This podcast has been made possible through the support of the ATTC ⁠School Leadership Program⁠, the educational consultancy ⁠School Matters⁠, and the retreat facility ⁠The Valley of the Good Life⁠.

Tristan dives into Harvard University's landmark lawsuit against the Trump administration. As the stock markets head for their worst April since 1932, Tristan examines how Harvard is fighting back against what it sees as unconstitutional government overreach threatening academic freedom and free speech. The episode breaks down the legal arguments on both sides, focusing on First Amendment protections and Administrative Procedure Act violations, while explaining why this case represents a critical moment in the ongoing struggle between higher education institutions and a government Tristan characterizes as seeking political retribution. Beyond Harvard's $53 billion endowment and legal position, Tristan explores the broader implications for research universities nationwide and what's at stake for American scientific advancement if federal funding to these institutions is threatened.

The unknown shade has been gobsmacked by the fact that escapees from hell may be climbing Mount Purgatory.Virgil explains that the pilgrim is still very much alive.

What is the telos of education? In a free society, is it desirable or practical to attempt to design a single system of schooling that is ideal for everyone? Can schools hold a neutral position regarding morality and values, or is education a fundamentally ethical enterprise that inevitably adopts a new moral framework when an old one is removed?In this presentation, Patrick Halbrook considered these questions in a historical framework as they have been applied to American education in the twenty-first century.Patrick Halbrook is a teacher, graphic designer, and writer—as well as a passionate advocate for classical Christian education. Over the years he has written for various publications including The Imaginative Conservative, FORMA Journal, The Classical Difference, and Cary Christian School's blog, The Forum. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal and Biblical Studies from Florida College and a Masters of Art in History from North Carolina State University.

Pastor Aaron Burke from Radiant Church in Florida takes us on a journey through his new book, The Unfair Advantage, revealing how God can transform betrayal, rejection, and every “unfair” season into a catalyst for growth. He unpacks the art of navigating life's toughest moments, and how we can leverage these trials to unlock something greater. Pastor Aaron explains why bitterness is the enemy of progress, and choosing the path of forgiveness is the key to discovering the divine advantage hidden within every hardship. Using the life of Joseph as a blueprint, he shows that while life may feel like a series of unfair setbacks, it's how we respond that determines our success.

Bringing concepts from critical transitional justice and peacebuilding into dialogue with education, Schooling, Conflict and Peace in the Southwestern Pacific: Becoming Enemy Friends (Bristol University Press, 2024) by Dr. David Oakeshott examines the challenges youth and their teachers face in the post-conflict settings of Bougainville and Solomon Islands. Youth in these places must reconcile with the violent past of their parents' generation while also learning how to live with people once on opposing ‘sides'. This book traces how students and their teachers form connections to the past and each other that cut through the forces that might divide them. The findings illustrate novel ways to think about the potential for education to assist post-conflict recovery. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Send us a textLuz and David from Evolving Education left careers in biotechnology to explore and document alternative education models worldwide. Frustrated by rigid schooling systems, they traveled to over 170 learning centers to understand how children learn best outside the traditional classroom.In this episode, we talk about  how compulsory schooling originated in 19th-century Prussia as a system designed to produce obedient soldiers and workers, a model later exported worldwide as a tool for colonization and cultural suppression. We discuss how education has been shaped by these historical forces and why so many modern schools still emphasize conformity over curiosity. Luz and David explain the “Expedition Methodology” they developed, which focuses on exploration, experimentation, and community as key components of meaningful learning. Rather than pushing a single solution, they emphasize the importance of cross-pollination between different educational approaches and the need for families, teachers, and learning communities to collaborate in rethinking how children grow and learn.Instead of waiting for top-down reforms, they work directly with those already creating change—educators, parents, and pioneers looking for alternatives. Their mission is to make these models more accessible, providing tools and resources to help others implement child-led, passion-driven learning environments.Visit evolvingeducation.org to access their free ebook, watch their documentary films, and join their community. They also host monthly “Voices of Change” webinars featuring educators working at the forefront of alternative learning.

What role did education play in the US civil rights movement? What did it look like for anti-racist organizers to build radical schooling and organizing spaces that could evade the harsh surveillance lights of white supremacy and Jim Crow? What lessons can we learn from them today?Our March 2025 episode features journalist Elaine Weiss, who speaks about her new book, Spell Freedom: The Underground Schools That Built the Civil Rights Movement, published by Simon and Schuster this month.Spell Freedom traces the educational program that was the underpinning of the civil rights movement and voter registration drives. The Citizenship Schools originated from workshops in the summer of 1954 at the Highlander Center, a labor and social justice training center, located on a mountain in Monteagle, TN, just after the Brown vs. Board of Education decision. The heart of the book is Elaine's vivid retelling the stories of the four main leaders of the citizenship school movement, Septima Clark, Bernice Robinson, Esau Jenkins, and one of the founders of the Highlander Center, Myles Horton. She traces the path from this mountain center to Charleston and the sea islands of South Carolina, all framed by the segregated and racist South and the leaders who rose up to organize and resist Jim Crow and create a new South. As is often said in southern movement building (from the World Social Forum in 2006), “another South is possible; another South is necessary,” and Spell Freedom connects the histories and voices of the movements that continue to be necessary today.Episode Credits:Co-hosts and co-producers: Lucia Hulsether and Tina PippinEditing and Production Manager: Aliyah HarrisIntro Music: Lance Haugen and the Flying PenguinsOutro Music: "Plato's Republic" by Akrasis

Farm and Forest Schooling for Kids Guest Kelly McNiff, Founder, Farm and Forest Education Center at Pat's Pastured Our food purchasing choices impact both our physical health and environmental sustainability. We can empower children and families by teaching how real food is produced. Fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and chickens that are regeneratively grown by local farms are far more nutritious and more sustainable than highly-processed food products shipped thousands of miles to distant markets. The Farm and Forest Education Center at Pat's Pastured is a local non-profit that helps students explore how good food is grown, giving them the opportunity to observe and care for farm animals and their surrounding environment. Pat's Pastured is a local Rhode Island Farm with more than 150 acres of green pasture and woodlots. Humanely-raised livestock moves through rotational pastures with plenty of space to roam free. In 2016, Kelly McNiff, who co-runs the farm with her husband, began running a summer camp in partnership with her sister, Stacy Gale. Kelly is a certified elementary teacher with over 15 years of classroom experience. She earned her undergraduate degree from Northeastern University and pursued her graduate studies at the Teton Science School in Wyoming, where she discovered her passion for place-based learning and outdoor education. Kelly brought her fourth grade students from Providence to experience hands-on learning at the farm, and she talks about her observations and the tremendous benefits to her students. The Farm and Forest Education Center now offers afterschool programs and facilitates school field trip experiences. Join us for this episode to hear more.
