Learning is Natural, School is Optional - the North Star Way with Ken Danford
November 02, 2021 13:00 - 41 minutes - 56.9 MBFor as long as there has been compulsory schooling, students have asked, “Do I really have to go to school through 12th grade? Isn’t there some other way?” The conventional answer most parents respond with is, “No, there is no other way. You just have to make the best of it.” That was what they did, and they survived. That answer didn’t satisfy Kenneth Danford. In 1996, he left his public school teaching job to help students live, learn, and grow in a different environment. He co-founded ...

Find Your Way At Wayfinding Academy with Michelle Jones

There is more choice now than ever for families to choose from, which is a great thing. The problem is that word - online.
