Show Notes
Free To Learn by Peter Gray is one of the most influential books about alternative approaches to education. In this review, Jake highlights the most useful ideas in the book, especially the focus on the role of play in learning and the explanation of how school interferes with learning.
Jake also provides some criticisms of the book, such as the ideas that Peter Gray has about what hunter gatherer societies can teach us and his advocacy of Sudbury schools.
