This episode is near and dear to my soul, as I share with you my remembering of some very hard and painful truths and experiences during my primitive school years.

What prompted this self inquiry around this solo episode was some books my husband and I recently purchased by John Taylor Gatto -links to his books below. John a former New York School teacher for 30 years, books activated a lot of emotional responses and deep painful remembering for me. Both his books made sense too much of the madness and frustration I have felt over the years around my schooling and experiences. Ultimately leading to the beautiful choose to unschool / homeschool/ be together as a family full time I guess you could say for our children!

Let me know what you think of this episode!

Blessings,

Victoria
