Part one of a series of podcasts on Unschooling. This
episode is a discussion of one of the most influential books about
unschooling: Instead of Education by
John Holt. Special guests are Brett Veinotte, host of School Sucks
Podcast and Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio.
"Education... now seems to me perhaps the most authoritarian
and dangerous of all the social inventions of mankind. It is the
deepest foundation of the modern slave state, in which most people
feel themselves to be nothing but producers, consumers, spectators,
and 'fans,' driven more and more, in all parts of their lives, by
greed, envy, and fear. My concern is not to improve 'education' but
to do away with it, to end the ugly and antihuman business of
people-shaping and to allow and help people to shape
themselves."
John Holt 1976
