Let Kids Be Kids: Rethinking Early Childhood Education

This one’s probably going to ruffle some feathers, but when do they not? I want to revisit my earlier episode about why we chose not to do my son’s summer packet and clarify what I actually meant. It’s not about being anti-school. It’s about kids being kids, following their interests, and parents having a real voice in their child’s education.

I’m sharing what happened after that episode aired, including my meeting with my child's school, why I stand by what I said (yes, including the F word), and why I think the conversation around parental partnership, school policies, and childhood itself has gotten so messy.

If you’re a teacher, administrator, or parent, I would LOVE to actually talk about this. Let’s stop being afraid of disagreement and start having real conversations again.
