👾 Shout out and thank you to BGG Foundation for bringing the learning and the party! 🙌 It is awe-inspiring to see former PlayStation team members return to their hometown; bringing awareness, energy, acceptance, and tangible road maps for professional opportunities within the gaming industry. 🎮 What if your child’s passion is video gaming? What if they could live a fulfilling, meaningful, and financially healthy life while owning this passion? #saintlouis #bggfoundation #nonprofits #gaming #leadership #education #stlsudbury #respect #trust #autonomy

👀 People are curious what an “average day” at St. Louis Sudbury School looks like… 🤷♀️ We don’t know and we do! It’s looks different…every day. It sounds like boredom 🥱, laughter 😆, struggle 🙇♀️, learning, exploration, and social negotiations…and different…every day. It is bound to leave many adults feeling uncomfortable! 🥴 Why?! ➡️ Because adults are not often taught to be in spaces that respect children, trust them, and honor their autonomy. 💯 𝐍𝐨, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲. 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫? 💫 Imagine, for a moment, that you did not learn that. Imagine you had the opportunity to wrestle with who you are, what interests you, and where your life may lead you?! When adults come into the space, they wish to have had such an opportunity to be human. So what is an average day? Merely radical. Life. Learning. Respect. Responsibility. Struggle. Beautiful mess of growing up and being a whole human. Please ask any and all questions in the comments or DMs. 🙏 #education #freetolearn #curiosity #leadership #respect #trust #autonomy #unschooling #parenting #saintlouis #stlsudbury #deming #asde #selfdirected #democratic #school

🙌 Many times, our parents describe Saint Louis Sudbury School better than we can. “(H)appiness is our potential. All neurotypes are valid. Learning is lifelong. Our model is outdated. My child is a prophet- & my work is to listen.” - Halley Kim ➡️ Have a read and share your reflections in the comments? https://lnkd.in/gpEgR7WB #school #saintlouis #stlsudbury #selfdirected #freetolearn #respect #trust #autonomy #leadership #community #education #unschool #deming #parenting

𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 🏫 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 🏭 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻, 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆?! “Today’s standard school systems originated in the ideas of the Industrial Revolution. Schools were thought of as factories… The idea was to produce workers who are interchangeable, like manufactured goods, to operate in factories and offices like cogs in machines; workers who were punctual and obedient…That was the vision for American education, strangely incompatible with the nation’s founding values. The vision has changed now, but the structure remains the same.” - 𝘑𝘪𝘮 𝘙𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳, “𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘴 𝘙𝘶𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭” Reflections, challenges, questions? #saintlouis #stlsudbury #selfdirected #democratic #school #factory #manufacturing #sde #education #learning #lifeskills #leadership #trust #respect #community #learning #problemsolving #coaching #facilitation #unschooling #deschooling #freetolearn #deming #systemsthinking #intrinsicmotivation

✅ In adulthood, we value “experiential learning” and “on the job training”. ❎ In childhood, we replace play (experiential learning) with desks, tests, and facts. We wonder why and offer another way… ✨ This may be a deep one to sit with today. Congratulate yourself for your willingness to reflect. We’re here to answer questions and explore deeper as you’re ready. #school #reimagine #asde #facilitation #coaching #education #selfdirected #leadership #trust #stlsudbury #saintlouis #futureofeducation #community #homeschool #unschool #autonomy #respect #trustchildren #freetolearn #deming #education #learning #systems #work #play #training #ojt #leadershipdevelopment

✨ What if this is true? What if it’s in our nature to learn “fast and well” that which we are intrinsically motivated?✨ “Self-directed democratic schooling is that technology: a human invention to manage the raw energy of children’s nature without dominating or devastating.
