Is School Good? #5: Bertrand Cooper

In today's episode, Sparky is joined by the writer Bertrand Cooper (@_BlackTrash) to talk about his background as both a former unschooler and a graduate student of education policy, and about the advantages of disadvantages of nontraditional forms of education like unschooling compared to the current public school system.
