In this season of the Scrutiny Hour, I explore the western education system. Unschooling the West will be out this week and I'm super excited to share this season with you all.  At a time where we are watching the school system slowly crumble and fail under funding cuts and countless examinations, this season is all about unschooling, relearning and reimaging education lead by parents and teachers finding alternative ways to teach their children.  According to recent reports, parents don't believe school is preparing children for life or for the workplace.
