Book Discussion Group: Raising Free People

  • Alpine Valley School 4501 Parfet Street Wheat Ridge, CO, 80033 United States (map)

The next installment of our book discussion group is here! This group will meet online (over Jitsi) and discuss a different book about self-directed education every month.

January’s book is: Raising Free People by Akilah S. Richards

Individual experiences influence our approach to parenting and education, so we need more than the rules, tools, and “bad adult” guilt trips found in so many parenting and education books. We need to reach behind our behaviors to seek and find our triggers; to examine and interrupt the ways that social issues such as colonization still wreak havoc on our ability to trust ourselves, let alone children. Raising Free People explores examples of the transition from school or homeschooling to unschooling, how single parents and people facing financial challenges unschool successfully, and the ways unschooling allows us to address generational trauma and unlearn the habits we mindlessly pass on to children.

January’s meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 18th 6:00 PM
