Last week I talked to @Ed_Miliband and @GeoffLloyd about how and why I think our education system needs to change to put psychological well-being first, Listen to it here.

Our education system isn’t working for many children and young people, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

a week since the open evening at @new_school_uk and still feeling so hopeful that another method of education is available where children are not groomed to be products of a system 🔥

The traditional education system is built for every possible life path, which means it's optimized for no particular life path.
For almost every life path, it's *not* the best preparation.

Kids aren't pre- or future-human beings. They're fully human, right now.
Humans are motivated by what interests us. This is just as true for kids as it is for humans of all other ages.

The philosophy of Josh's learning center is built around:
• self-direction - giving kids agency to choose what they want to study
• ownership - giving kids space to teach their own classes or start clubs
• facilitation - helping kids find the classes and resources they need

Some reflections about going on a podcast as an academic:
1. It's so cringy to listen to your own voice.
2. Talking about research with a precise language on spot is very nerve-racking.
3. Overall, however, it was a terrifying AND exciting opportunity at the same time.

We make so little time at school for children to practice the skill of following their interest. We dissuade them from seeing something fascinating and running with it. We tell them time and time again that we know best. 11/

Do you love your kids? Then encourage them to be fully themselves.❤
Don't try to mold them and criticize how they should be. It hurts not to be accepted by your own parents.

Children who have circles of security from trusted adults who'll always listen with compassion, without judgement, and help them co-regulate, learn self regulation. That's what they need to face the world, and in fact they are the ones who will make the world a better place.
