A Mom's Mysterious Chronic Illness, the Brain & Why She Rejected Traditional School
Kaleigh Abernathy talks about the trials and breakthroughs of her battle with Lyme Disease, unschooling, and growing up second-generation Torah observant. She shares her perspective on why kids don’t need to be forced to learn. If they’re not constantly pacified or entertained, they’ll go do something, and learning follows naturally, she says.
Kaleigh pushes back on an education system designed to create “worker bees” instead of creative thinkers. Her approach blends freedom in learning with real responsibility, and now, her unschooled kids are on the dean’s list in college.
