3.0

Less a piece about unschooling and more a piece on the more overarching idea of unschooling-style education and a more philsophical piece on the movement and idea in general. Some good parts about some Free Schools, but not really anything special, or anything that would engage someone who is not already sympathetic to the idea.

Loved it

Brilliant, quick read— a good introduction to anarchist ideas concerning education. Primed the pump and makes me want to reach for other books by Solnit, Wollstonecraft, etc. I love Astra Taylor’s questions and thought experiments - she’s wonderful to see in person. I could listen to her do Q&A’s all day!!
