Sandra Dodd has long been a key influencer in unschooling methodology and philosophy. For many, many years she has given wise, compassionate advice to people who would like to follow a different way in educating their children. I am one of them.
Sandra's enthusiasm for life is infectious. Her curiosity; her childlike joy in minute details; her breadth and depth of knowledge on all sorts of subjects; and her astonishing and often hilarious ability to see and make connections between seemingly unconnected things combine to make her the best advocate of unschooling I know. Because she lives it.
Sandra's website is an Alladin's cave of information. Make yourself a cup of coffee and leave plenty of time for exploration, because you will be there for a while.
In this episode I asked Sandra to tell us more about 'Learn Nothing Day', which just happens also to be her birthday, 24 July. Our conversation progressed from there.
