In todays special episode we speak my friend and alternative education expert Kerri McDonald to discuss the issues with public school and discuss what other choices are out there for parents looking to make a change. We both send our kids to The Sudbury Valley School in Framingham, where they enjoy self directive learning, freedom and we are enjoying happy kids. Education is not a one size fits all solution. Check out the links to learn more about what options are out there, if the public school model is not a good fit for you or your child.
