Episode Five: Jen and Izzy 'Let them be them'
This week Izzy (13) and single mum, Jen, discuss how the years have been in and out of school for their family of 6, some of whom have special or complex needs. Jen had the difficult situation of passionately wanting to unschool but not always being able or permitted to because of mental health issues. She describes how she felt forced to take her children out of school. Izzy gives her impressions of life in and out of school and concludes that parents should ‘Let them be them’ I’d love to know your thoughts on this podcast. Please email unschooling.lwr@gmail.com with any comments or questions. This is the last episode on the current run of the first series of 5. We’re having a short break while I learn to edit them myself (eek!) then will be shortly returning with a new series two. We hope to include a dads’ panel, more parent and child combos, a main stream teacher and a grandmother’s perspective among others. Thanks for all of your support. It’s been a dream come true publishing these. Massive thanks to my long suffering daughter Nell 😀🙏😀
