Finally an actual great show, intelligent conversation, some obvious questions and answers but i get it is to reach everyone ! I liked his methods of teaching kids and his way of thinking, surprised for a libertarian ! All around well done !
This is such a great conversation and it's 100% what I'm interested in learning about. I'm an Orton-Gillingham tutor meaning I teach the fundamentals of literacy and math, and basically, I've had an overfull practice for several years with pretty much zero advertising, only word of mouth, because these fundamentals are so lacking in school. I love listening to your interviews while I plan lessons. I started reading Deschooling Society by Ivan Illich, and I like the distinction he makes between learning definable skills and exploratory learning. To try to summarize this from memory, he says definable skills should be taught in a free market available to anyone, and exploratory learning is something people can initiate themselves for problem-solving or just out of interest by finding others who have the same intention (like I'm doing right now by watching your video and interacting). I only started the book, but even this distinction at the beginning I find so helpful because regular school does this backwards. It doesn't teach definable skills explicitly to build mastery, and it doesn't promote exploring your own interests in a free way to solve problems or build character. Instead, it just seems to barely skim through skills expecting implicit retention and then it explicitly tells students what to think. I hadn't heard of the Tuttle Twin book series; these sound fabulous. I also really like what you're talking about regarding the word propaganda. I just looked up the etymology and it's really interesting that it wasn't originally pejorative. Pro ("forth or forward") + pag ("to fasten") + anda (related to "opposite or against") --> propaganda. Maybe that can be translated to something along the lines of 'to fasten forth a cause opposite to another ideology'. Thanks so much for this conversation!!
I went from Montessori to Catholic school, what a contrast, it was too late I was already uncontrollable! My Mom was too busy to be authoritarian and my Dad taught me to always question authority.... probably how I ended up like this. I've used the "you're the one who taught me to be like this" on them so many times as a teen and even during 2020 nonsense.😅
Changing our language can be helpful. Google is a noun, not a verb. Using this word as a verb is marketing for Google. There are many search engines that might be less constrictive.

Next let's see a Tuttle twins visit "Antarctica" and attempt a North - South circumnavigation 😅
