Do you ever wonder: What is going on with my kids at school? Are they truly thriving or just scraping by? Is homeschooling the best option for us? In this episode of Parenting Decolonized, I welcome Jae Williams, a former teacher turned BlackDad YouTuber and relaxed homeschooler for his two young kids. Tune in to learn about the flaws of the traditional education system and how unschooling attempts to counter those flaws, along with tips for black dads on being a conscious parent.
