Episode Synopsis "Getting Teens to Talk to Grown-ups: a Conversation with Blake Boles | Podcast Episode 5"

In this episode, we talk with educator Blake Boles on what makes an adolescent tick. What's going on in a teenager's mind, and how can we connect with our kids? Blake is someone who should know. After studying teenage unschoolers – kids who chose their own path in their educations – in college, he's worked with them in unique and interesting capacities. Blake's been a camp counselor; he travels with young adults to other countries; he's authored books on getting into college without going to high school, "doing" college without going to college, and becoming a self-directed learner. And today's conversation will help you connect with your adolescent child. (I know this, because it helped me : ) Show notes, including the tons of links that come up in our conversation and the link so that you can donate to the people who make More Than Just a School possible, are at baystatelearning.org/005 Hope you enjoy this conversation!
