On episode 19 of the Real Education Podcast I interview Patrick Farenga, the president of HoltGWS and co-author of Teach Your Own: The John Holt Book of Homeschooling.

Pat is a long-time—perhaps one of the longest-time!—advocates of homeschooling, unschooling, and self-directed learning, and we share a high-energy conversation about the legacy of John Holt (the educator and critic who coined the word “unschooling” and started Growing Without Schooling magazine), how Pat became involved with John Holt, and how self-directed learning connects to the modern world of work. Enjoy the show!
