#21: Germany, the educational dictatorship - with Ricardo Leppe

Welcome to the "Wild Life Unschooling Podcast." In this episode, we have a special guest, Ricardo Leppe, from the project "Willkommen bei WISSEN SCHAFFT FREIHEIT" (Welcome to Knowledge Creates Freedom).

We discuss how the project challenges traditional educational structures, provides free access to education globally, empowers individuals to choose their learning paths, and aims to create a better future through education.

At the same time, we talk about different compulsory schooling systems from around the world - and it seems that Germany is educational hell?!

"In my opinion, it's one of the strictest forms of governance, particularly when it comes to education, in the world. Maybe North Korea has a more oppressive system, but I can't speak to that as I've never been there. From my perspective, Germany has one of the harshest approaches. I haven't witnessed anything similar in any other country. In other nations, attending school is mandatory, and you're required to do so. However, it's not quite the same as in Germany. In Germany, if you don't send your children to school, sometimes the police will show up at your doorstep as early as the next day. If you disagree with them, they can even take your children away." Luckily, Ricardo is convinced, that the new form of education comes from Germany, and will inspire the world! ;)

Join us for this thought-provoking episode, where we explore alternative learning techniques and brain-friendly learning methods for children.
