Today, we’re joined by Kerry McDonald, an author, researcher, and activist for education freedom. Kerry McDonald is a Senior Education Fellow at FEE and author of “Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom (Chicago Review Press, 2019)”. She is also an adjunct scholar at The Cato Institute and a regular Forbes contributor. Jeff and Kerry discuss public school, homeschool, and even unschooling. They also go into the effect the government’s pandemic has had on children’s education.
