When schools shut down in 2020, many parents realized just how little their kids were learning. That eye-opening experience led Melissa Jackson to co-found Freedom in Education, a movement dedicated to giving parents and teachers the tools they need to improve education from the ground up. As president of the organization, Melissa is working to restore knowledge-based learning, equip parents with resources and opt-out forms, and build bridges between families and teachers.
In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Melissa about how Freedom in Education began, the challenges of navigating state education systems, and the practical solutions they’re providing to help kids thrive. From empowering parents to take a more active role to supporting teachers with professional development and community, Melissa shares how her team is working to enrich the next generation of students both inside and outside the classroom.
