Stan welcomes Emily Charkin who runs Wilderness Wood in East Sussex. The wood presents a radical alternative to school, providing space in which home-educated children learn, work and play.
The discussion is wide-ranging: do schools help or hinder a sense of community? Is state education too academic? Are projects like WW just a middle-class indulgence?
