Note 📝
This film is not a part of my current project Learning and Liberation. It was started in late 2021 and finished in early 2023. It was produced entirely over zoom due to pandemic restrictions. If you have any questions about the project or unschooling, please ask in the comments.

Well done, Ben. My son named Ben is 19. He graduated 2 years ago. We hardly did any mathematics as un schoolers. My 2 youngest sons are very good musicians and artists. As for Ben, he has a great job and guess what he does all day long? MATH. And he just got promoted after only 3 months. Unschooling is the best path for kids in America, by far!
Really cool and interesting! If you do a sequel, would love to hear perspectives from people of color who unschooled their kids and/or were unschooled themselves
Yes! I’m an unschooling parent. I have 7 kids at home. Been at it for about 2 years. Still deschooling lol but also learning more.😊
Hi! I am homeschooled from the UK - This is a very well made and edited documentary! Keep up the great work, Ben. :)
It's giving your children the chance to want to start learning so they don't feel like it's shoved down their throats.
This scares me and breaks my heart that there's others that were unschooled
By incorporating what they need to learn into what they want to learn, the necessities become easier to handle
This is interesting. I was a public schooler all the way k-12, and I don't think it was ultimately the best. There were fantastic teachers, but the system itself was so rigid and it was exhausting. It didn't help that the pressure to get good grades and measure up were super detrimental to me. It took until just after my 20th birthday to start really healing my love of learning. While I did a stint with the military, there was a lot more downtime than I anticipated, so I decided to better myself. While I was in the system, I would have denounced homeschool in any fashion because I was very well institutionalized. Perspective is a heck of a thing and learning about unschooling/homeschooling has allowed me to relearn to explore. I would call myself a partly remediated life-long learner. Thanks for sharing about your experience and to the people who gave their input to the documentary. I dig the old film vibe.
Fantastic work Ben, on an unschooling journey in the UK!
When you stack this up against all your prior work, it's quite an evolution and achievement, Ben! At the same time, for me, there was a nagging sense of how much farther this documentation could go--and I would imagine this isn't unfamiliar territory. Filming in person, rather than through video call is surely one aspect, but then also being able to encompass the wider breadth of unschoolers out there, what this kind of education looks and feels like, the context for and ramifications of it...Well, I guess there will, and should, always be further ambitions--and, indeed, the growth that has occurred up to now doesn't cease here :)
Yes!! This project was completed in small chunks over a few years, and so I definitely don't think it's as far as it could go. I'm excited to have many more people and places and experiences featured in Learning and Liberation :)
Thank you! This was great. I don’t have children yet, but I’ve been doing research and am considering unschooling my own kids.
Totally agree, we did this too!
Beautiful documentary thank u ... I'm not quite warm to the idea of unschooling all though I like some aspects of it I think a combination of homeschooling and unschooling would be something I would like more
Thank you so much for sharing this information, we are embarking on a journey of unschooling our small children & I’ve felt confident that we are making the best decision for them but it always helps to hear first hand accounts that reinforce the validity of this choice. Only 3 videos in but already appreciate your account. Thank you so much for the content you create for others to learn from.
Great video!!
Amazing work 🎉🎉🎉thank you for sharing this
So awesome! I love how you keep popping up on my suggestions. It’s nice to see you growing ☺️🌱
Thank you :)
Great job!
Thank you :)
your stuff always feels like it was made after the end of the world lol
How are the parents making an income while traveling so much?
Drawing dragons, I like it. What would you do if you couldn't make content?
Hmm, I'm not sure. I feel like I'd be doing some other type of art, maybe design?
