This episode I had the amazing opportunity to speak to Kimberly Gawne about her experiences with and views on traditional and alternative education methods. Kimberly reflects on her journey from enthusiastic teaching student to a passionate advocate for alternative education, asserting her fundamental belief that the traditional education system stifles the natural learning process. Touching on the limitations of the classroom, the role of parental influence, and the importance of individualized learning, Kimberly also predicts that the real 'rebels' of education – homeschoolers – will positively shape the future of the world.
