单集文稿 ...

• 00:00

  What children should be learning is what they want,

• 00:04

  is what interests them, is how to solve problems.

• 00:10

  They don't learn that by being institutionalized for 12 years and bossed about by an authoritarian teacher who doesn't know very much.

• 00:21

  It's an insane idea.

• 00:24

  Hey, folks, and welcome to the Lunar Society podcast.

• 00:27

  Today, I have the great pleasure of talking with Sarah Fitzclairidge.

• 00:31

  Sarah is a writer, coach, and speaker with a fallablest worldview.

• 00:35

  She started a journal that became Taking Children Seriously in the early 1990s after being surprised by the heated audience reactions that she was getting when talking about children.

• 00:43

  She has spoken all over the world about her educational philosophy and you can find transcripts of some of her talks on her website at fits-clairidge.com and the link to that will also be in the description.

• 00:53

  So we had a very interesting conversation.

• 00:55

  I'm broadly sympathetic with Sarah's worldview, though I do have my differences.

• 00:59

  So I had a lot of fun playing devil's advocate.

• 01:02

  But whether you agree with her or not,

• 01:04

  Sarah is an incredibly original and first principles thinker about how our society treats children.

• 01:11

  So without further ado, here's Sarah Fitzclairage.

• 01:22

  So Sarah.

• 01:24

  Can you explain what taking children seriously is?

• 01:26

  Yes,

• 01:27

  taking children seriously is an educational philosophy that takes seriously the idea that human beings are fallible.

• 01:36

  And that includes parents.
