#10: Feeling like giving up is ok! - with Mariana Ludmila Cortez

<p>You don't believe in unschooling? Education rebel <a href="https://www.instagram.com/soymarianaludmila/">Mariana</a> Ludmila Cortez will change that. She has two unschooled kids, who are now studying in university – yes, you read that right, the two are studying like “normal” young adults. </p> <p>In this episode, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/marianaludmila">founder</a> of the two educational projects Desescolarizados and <a href="https://twitter.com/edularity">Edularity</a>, tells us how she went from homeschooling to unschooling, and why giving up on the way is perfectly normal. Also, we have a little “Bitcoin rabbit hole” moment here and there, because <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianaludmila">Mariana</a> is as fascinated as me by the decentralized nature of the first ever cryptocurrency:</p> <p><strong>“I also got attracted about what's blockchain, and what's Bitcoin? So when I started to research what was that, it completely made sense. The philosophy, the peer-to-peer, decentralized approach. And to me, it was like an immediate connection to education, and I was like, ok that is liberty, that is how I educate my kids: peer-to-peer, decentralized.”</strong></p>
