Rethinking Self-Directed Education
Rethinking Self-Directed Education
Bria and Daveed
Self-directed education, unschooling, partnership parenting, raising free people. For us these are all collective liberation movements. We chat about the intersections of liberation, community, anti-oppression, parenting, SDE, Deschooling, decolonization, unschooling, societal implications, and the systems of oppression working against us. Going deep on our own experiences and the way the systems interact with us as individuals and communities trying to treat and raise children differently in society.
Boundaries, Relationships, and Community
In this episode we talk through and process a definition of boundaries that pushes on the ways we are used to thinking about our boundaries. We then go deep on various aspects of boundaries within SDE and ourselves, such as how this shows up in community and the complexities of upholding boundaries within an SDE space (especially when values or needs differ). Note: credit goes to KC Davis (@domesticblisters on Tik Tok) for the short audio clip about boundaries that we shared in this podcast. You can view her video here: https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdAxF7SP/

Parents, Teachers, and Society: who's influencing our sense of self?
To deschool ourselves is to truly decolonize ourselves, schools are the first places where we learn untruths about ourselves. Where we question our abilities because we are being constantly graded and compared. Where we let someone else dictate our worth, where we learn untruths about our histories under the colonizer's lens. In this first episode, we explore questions and ideas related to this statement.
