Today we are honored to speak with Britton LaTulippe, a homeschooling father of eight kids and founder / president of Blue Manor Education and Blue Manor Online Academy. Britton is the author of over 70 children's books, the creator of several early-learning curriculum sets, and author of The Art of Raising Children to Greatness series. After attending an elite prep school in Virginia, Britton realized that the greatest disparity between the rich and poor was not their wealth, but the quality of their education. Now, it's Britton's mission to bring elite education into the world of homeschooling.

Our guests today are Ben Rehrman and Genevieve Shade, both of whom are 18-year old, self-directed (unschooled) homeschool graduates. Ben and Genevieve are in the throws of producing a documentary series for YouTube titled "Learning and Liberation".
Learning and Liberation is a documentary series that explores the people and places that allow young people to grow, play and learn outside of traditional school.
BIOS:
Genevieve Shade is a Pittsburgh based multidisciplinary artist and creator of the e-zine “Youth Liberation Now” (YLN). YLN touches on topics of youth rights, education, the history of youth movements, and politics. Through grassroots distribution, YLN has spread across the US and internationally. Beyond YLN, Genevieve is a fine artist, writer, and researcher. Her film photography work was shown at the Mattress Factory in May 2022, and at Bankrupt Bodega in November 2022. She is also a printmaker, painter, and people’s history enthusiast. One of her latest projects is a collaborative research project with her mentor Shaun Slifer, focusing on 1970s high school student activism in Pittsburgh. She is very passionate about education, having experienced 5 different models of education throughout her life. In 2020 Genevieve decided to leave public high school (one of the best decisions she’s ever made) and she has been happily unschooling for the past three years.
Ben Rehrman is a filmmaker and lifelong unschooler from Eastern Pennsylvania. Their interest in film started as a child. They used all of their free time to experiment with animation and live action story telling. As a teenager they started a YouTube channel, where they began uploading educational and autobiographical videos. These videos slowly gained traction online, growing an audience for their work. Ben is interested in narrative and documentary film, having made multiple short films. Unschooling and self directed education are some of their main creative inspirations. From informing audiences about the basics of self directed education, to making autobiographical videos about their life to show what unschooling is like, to interviewing other people in the space, unschooling has driven their work. Their films have been official selections in The All American High School Film Festival, The Sun Valley High School Film Festival, The Saul Zaentz High School Film Festival, and the SE Pennsylvania Teen Filmmakers Showcase. Videos on their YouTube channel have garnered almost half a million views, making them one of the most viewed video sources about unschooling.

Today, we listen in as Tina and Jenny discuss their thoughts about educating children in the early elementary years.
Take-Aways:
There is no need to "start ear1y". Let the child demonstrate readiness instead.No one method (or curriculum) is right for everyone. What's right is what works for your kids/family. No need to buy expensive curriculum. Focus on the 3Rs at first (reading; 'riting; and 'rithmetic). Short lessons (15 min. each w/breaks in between), less than 2 hours a day on academics (to grow & maintain a child's love of learning). Other subjects (history, science, health, etc.) can be occasional and less formal. Look for learning in everyday living & non-traditional resources (children's literature, movies, games, outings, etc.). TRUST God and the process.Family dynamics/character/atmosphere is most important. Find a "tribe" of like-minded homeschoolers in SOCIAL homeschool groups (not academic co-ops).Recommendations:
