13. The Micro School Movement

School Sucks: Higher Education For Self-Liberation

The Essential School Sucks, #13 of 50

Theme Two: Leaving Institutional Schooling and Finding Educational Alternatives

Kerry McDonald returns to discuss the growing Micro-School movement. What is a Micro-School and why should we be talking about them? (and why am I excited about a school?)

We'll also cover blended learning, the question of screen time for children, and a thriving micro-school network in Arizona Kerry recently profiled in Forbes Magazine. That article is called How Micro-School Networks Expand Learning Options
