Showing results for "Freedom's Child" in Childhood Education

In this dazzling debut, Carla Shalaby, a former elementary school teacher, explores the everyday lives of four young "troublemakers", challenging the ways we identify and understand so-called problem children. Time and again, we make seemingly endless efforts to moderate, punish, and even medicate our children, when we should instead be concerned with transforming the very nature of our institutions, systems, and structures, large and small.

Our failure to give children the whole education they need has produced millions of disgruntled adults who are eager to trade American freedom for big tech convenience and the illusion of government security. Sensing danger, more parents than ever are choosing to “run away” from government education in favor of homeschooling their children. Taking responsibility for your child’s education is a great start, but even academic excellence is only half the equation. Learn the fatal flaws in our formula for educating children for successful adulthood.
