Are you concerned that your homeschooling experience, even your LEMI community, is just on the "conveyor belt?" In this episode of LEMI Works, hosts Tatiana Fallon and Heidi Christianson discuss the challenges and misconceptions surrounding project-based, transformational education with LEMI (Leadership Education Mentoring Institute). The discussion delves into the comparison between LEMI’s education model and the traditional ‘conveyor belt’ approach of public schools, emphasizing the importance of personal choice, self-development, and individualized goals over standardized outcomes. The hosts explore the intents behind various LEMI projects such as Key of Liberty, Shakespeare, and Hero, and their roles in a holistic educational process. They also touch on the principle of allowing flexibility within structured guidelines to honor the phases of learning and individual student needs, while fostering a supportive community environment. This episode aims to inspire and equip mentors and parents to better navigate the educational journey of their children.
