Show Notes
Nikiah Childs grew up in elementary school, unschooled for 6 years, went back to a performance arts charter school, and then left school again to unschool her senior year.
Now 23 and graduating from college, Nikiah and I discuss:
- the motivations behind her transitions
- pursuing her passion for dance
- her fear of having fallen behind in math due to unschooling
- the pros and cons of high school
- how adults treat unschoolers versus high schoolers
- the surprising awesomeness of community college
