But first, Kate, uh I wonder if you have anything to chip in here, like just based on what Mike said.
And um is would you say that that that that captures in some sense that intuition that you had that fundamentally the
that like the emotions and how we feel about things and how th like that we only learn what we
care about, um, not what we're told.
How does that tally with your experience either in mainstream schools or in the Hive?
Super interesting.
And like as a as a former language teacher, Kate, you I'm sure you'll recall the sensation that is being experienced by language teachers up and down the country at the moment, which is the summer term of year nine, when they've already chosen that they're not gonna do languages.
Good luck with teaching those lessons.
Like when they they they not they they may not have particularly cared anyway, but now that it's like they know that this is just like going nowhere.
They're not interested in learning in that environment.
It's very it's a very very stark example of
Um the the that a counterexample if you like of what we're talking about here.
Just before we go back to you, Mike, and the these these three pillars, these three biological um
ideas that that really challenge the the sort of the the prevailing mode of thinking around what w what this whole thing is about.
Kate, you mentioned there this word unschooling as a way to describe
what it is that you do at the hive.
And I I'd just love to hear a bit more about that.
I think that people may possibly have heard of de schooling.
this sort of process that that children often go go through one if they get taken out of school or if they take themselves out of school.
And it's essentially a process of like s the the school mindset, the school sort of ideas sort of working its way out of your system.
