    Send us a textToday, we’re discussing real life, or adult life and what our children REALLY need to know to thrive as adults.  We’re planning to sack of the national curriculum and write our own that we believe will provide our kids with the foundation they need when they leave home, all with space to follow their passions and hopefully one day attain the job of their dreams.  We’ll be discussing what typical days look like, what every human needs to know and how we teach these core skills.  Links mentioned in this episode: The chemistry legend that is Big Manny 1 The Life without School Podcast - Finding Balance with Screens episode NEVER MISS AN EPISODE!
