202 - Unschooling the Olympics: No Curriculum Needed

Text Sue what you think! When the Olympics roll around, it’s easy to feel pressure to “do something educational.” You don’t need a unit study, curriculum, or lesson plan for real learning to happen. Big cultural events like the Olympics are already rich with opportunities for curiosity, connection, and noticing — if you let them be. In this episode, Sue talks about how to strew the Olympics: leaving learning invitations available without turning them into lessons or checklists. You’ll hear what strewing actually looks like in everyday life, how to follow interest without forcing it, and why resisting the urge to document or capture learning often creates more space for it to happen naturally. Whether your kids are glued to the events or barely paying attention, this conversation will help you relax and trust that learning doesn’t need to be organized to be meaningful.
