Collaboration is Power

In this episode, Kelly and Ashley discuss the US school system for a compare and contrast on the UK system discussed last time. The conversation explores the flaws and limitations of the traditional school system, highlighting issues such as poor teaching, lack of support and resources, inflexibility, and missed opportunities for learning. It discusses the pressures and stress that students face, the negative messaging and social dynamics within schools, and the constant need to compare and compete. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of allowing children to be themselves, to form their own opinions and values, and to pursue their own interests and paths. It concludes by highlighting the benefits of homeschooling in providing a more individualized and flexible education that focuses on collaboration rather than competition.
