How I will educate my Children TED talk.
By sharing this video with you my intent is not to encourage all ISHCMC students to be home schooled but to reflect upon what we are trying to achieve through our progressive view of what education should be for our students today. Joshua Steimle talks about' the system' throughout the talk and how and why it is broken. Many of the reasons he gives for advocating for home schooling are what ISHCMC does as a school within a traditional constraints. Many of his objectives are ours, and so are many of the outcomes that he sites. It is interesting to look at a talk like this, that could be the antithesis of what we do or who we are, and yet discover there are many touch points and similarities.
