Liberated Kids - Self-Directed Education in Oakland

Share

Liberated Kids (Nin@s Liberad@s) is a self-directed education collective for kids' ages 5~14. Why? Humans, especially kids, learn all the time, naturally!

It is time for an ALTERNATE to school, especially for THOSE that have suffered the most at the hands of the school system... brown and black kids. They learn how to walk and how to speak complex languages without being taught and going to "school". Kids are curious, playful, and social. That's how they NEVER stop learning. Schools often dull these natural drives of learning... as kids are only all
