Episode 34: If Our Daughter Died Tomorrow, Would We Be Happy With How She Had Lived?

At a recent event at our sister school (Hudson Valley Sudbury School in New York), Wendi Piper told her story about how self-directed democratic education has changed her family’s life. She started by asking the bold question, “If our daughter died tomorrow, would we be happy with how she had lived?” We share her answer, along with the full story of her family’s journey, on this episode of the Alpine Valley School podcast.
