I wasn't a good self-directed learner until my late 30s :P Good luck with the remote schooling! Part of the world's biggest remote work experiment.

- imglorp 7y agoMaturity and type-A self direction are the keys. Our district has some full-online charter schools. I have a miraculously self motivated family member who pulled off full time home self study her last 2 years of high school at one of these: she got up early and finished most of her homework before lunch. So it's definitely not for everyone, not even for most adults. I think many people need to learn as a group. But some children can thrive with self directed study.
- watwut 7y agoThe thing about self-directed learners in their 30s is that they are learning what they want to learn or have practical reason to learn. Unlike kids.
- actfrench 7y agoUnfortunately kids are natural born self-directed learners but lose that impulse when we start to control their learning.
