Episode Synopsis


This episode explores the revolutionary approach of the Martinez family, who've replaced traditional subjects with apprenticeship-based learning. Their teenage children spend mornings with local artisans, afternoons running micro-businesses, and evenings studying theory related to their chosen crafts. We examine how their 15-year-old daughter learned advanced chemistry through soap-making and their 13-year-old son mastered economics through his woodworking business. The hosts analyze the legal framework they've navigated to make this unconventional approach work, while discussing the challenges of ensuring comprehensive education through specialized focus areas.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
