Pat Farenga - Unschooling - AERO Conference 2015

The video discusses the work of Holt Associates in promoting homeschooling and unschooling, inspired by John Holt's educational philosophy. It highlights the growth of homeschooling from 25,000 children in 1981 to over 2.5 million in 2015. The concept of unschooling, which emphasizes learning outside traditional school settings, is explored through success stories like Grant Colfax. The video critiques the traditional education system and advocates for alternative approaches to learning.
