Annie Friday is back to share more of her family’s personal unschooling experience. In this episode, Annie catches listeners up on where she has been the last six months or so. She touches on some of what is to come in this season including burnout, the state of education system, some personal narratives from other unschoolers including youth voices. Annie also explains that while the title of the podcast originally stood for the literal experience of getting out of line by leaving the school system, a major focus of the show has become all the many ways parents, educators, and caregivers have expectations of young people that are really out of line with what we know to be neurologically and developmentally supportive for them. This short episode tees up all that is to come in this next season of Out of Line.
Annie Friday is an educator, entrepreneur, podcast host, and birth doula. Most recently, Annie co-founded Blue Bridge Agile Learning Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Blue Bridge serves families engaged in self-directed education pursuits. Annie considers herself a recovering teacher engaged in the ongoing process of deschooling and relearning everything she has ever known about education. Annie is a public school parent who is actively working to decenter school in her family life. Annie believes all learning needs to be learner-led, consent-based, and rooted in play. Annie holds a master’s degree in early childhood education. Her teacher and family training focuses on supporting young children through play, nature, and mindfulness. Annie lives in Michigan with her husband and two young children. Together they enjoy playing outside hiking, camping, boating, and skiing as well as inside with board games, video games, dancing, doing yoga, and cooking.
