Rethinking Education · The missing science of how we learn - and the “barefoot unschool” that’s already LIVING it · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

I mean that sounds like network coordination in action to me, Mike.

I don't know if you want to pick this up.

Like just let let's just bring this back to the science.

Talk talk to me about like what you what what have you been hearing?

about what what they do in the hive.

And also I'd like to I'd like to end by bringing this back to sort of mainstream classroom context.

So to introduce another seesaw, you know, the hive is at one end of a seesaw.

And people listening to this might think this sounds amazing, but we don't we can't just like let the kids go and walk the dog.

Like we've got two thousand kids in an urban, inner city sort of high rise building, you know, like we need we're working within constraints.

And so um I wanna bring it back to there, but first of all just talk to just share some reflections on what you've just been listening to.

Yeah, they they really can.

And I think that well yeah, to to go back to your point, Mike, about like, you know, you s you see your role here as being to just understand this stuff and it's like it's up to other people to see whether or not it can work in a in a mainstream setting.

I kind of feel like like my salience network is brightening up neon lights and it's like I think that there's a moral

imperative to to figure out how we can make schooling more aligned with this this more accurate understanding of like how people learn.

And it goes so far to it's it's both the it contains both the diagnosis and the prescription this work, especially the work that Mary Helen's been doing, as you say.

Um and I think that as Kate says, like rather than expecting this to be enacted through the lens of subject teaching and for for subject teachers to now like figure out how to, you know, have time for reflection and for the default mode activity within their lessons.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't do that.

If you do want to do that.

Um, I think that Christian Moore Anderson's book is a brilliant place to start.
