Lucy Aitkenread: Meet the mum who doesn't believe in mainstream schooling


The kindergarten allowed children to choose what they wanted to study and after seeing that structure, the couple made the decision to never put their daughters through mainstream schooling. How do the children learn without a curriculum to follow? Lucy says she has adopted a creative approach to schooling, teaching her daughters not through sit down lessons, but letting them follow their own interests. Lucy says that children are more likely to succeed later in life if they are given 'lots of time to follow their interests'. It can use shame to coerce kids to learn things they're not interested in and that's really paralysing.
