Benefits of Self-Directed Learning in Traditional Schools

Self-directed free-range learning ideas can benefit children who attend traditional schools. Parents can advocate for their child's education and individuality within the traditional school setting, such as volunteering in classrooms or creating alternative educational programs. Offering children a balance of structured school time and self-directed learning during after-school, weekends, and holidays can foster creativity, passion discovery, and deeper learning experiences.
