This is my reaction video to the Breakfast Club giving an unschooling family Donkey of the Day. The radio show, The Breakfast Club, features a daily segment where Charlamagne tha god names someone featured in a news article Donkey of the Day for doing something stupid. This Donkey of the Day featured an unschooling family, Matt and Adele Allen. Charlamagne argued that unschooling and child autonomy is irresponsible. He couldn't get over the idea that unschoolers do not force their kids to read and write. Finally, he thought only privileged white people would be "so stupid" to unschool. After seeing this, I had to make a reaction video.
I'm an unschooling dad who quit teaching school after years of trying to somehow spark interest or passion in my students to learn the content I was being paid to teach. The bottom line is that school teaches kids the basics but also strips kids of their natural curiosity and desire to learn while failing to provide opportunity to foster fundamental skills needed to live intentionally joyful and fulfilling lives.
