Have you ever felt trapped by the rigid structure of the traditional classroom? Deb Fillman certainly did, and she's here to share her transformative journey from classroom educator to homeschooling and private tutoring champion. Her personal story is one of liberation—from the one-size-fits-all approach to education—to a world where the unique needs of each student are the guiding force. As we chat with Deb, her passionate advocacy for a tailored educational experience is both inspiring and thought-provoking, revealing a deep commitment to igniting a true love for learning, free from standardized constraints.
In today's episode, we dig into the history of compulsory education and discuss its complex relationship with family dynamics, individual freedoms, and child development. The advantages of homeschooling can't be overlooked, particularly its capacity for efficient, personalized learning and the inclusion of practical life skills. Our dialogue opens up about the psychological toll traditional schooling can take on kids and contemplates the possibilities of reshaping education to better honor individuality and nurture independence.
Finally, we underscore the importance of community support for families as they make crucial educational decisions. Whether deep in the trenches of homeschooling or finding your way through the public school system, we discuss building private support networks and accessing resources like a dedicated Discord channel for personalized advice. We also cast a critical eye on the subtle ways the 2030 Agenda may influence educational approaches and stress the need to discern the intentions behind them. Join us for a conversation that not only explores education's current landscape but also champions the empowerment of families to preserve the essence of learning.
