Aren’t you glad you’re not in finals this week? (Apologies to those who are.) I stayed at Santa Clara University during “dead week,” the last week of classes before finals, and captured some of the studying/paper-writing craze in the library.

About Reschool Yourself

Profile picture

Reschool Yourself is a year-long exploration of how school shaped the person I became, and how I decide to educate myself from now on. This fall I'm returning to my old classrooms week by week, to understand how school influenced my identity and to regain the happiness and creativity of childhood. In the spring I'll pursue learning opportunities in the U.S. and abroad to become as autonomous as possible. I'll share my experiences of "reschooling" and personal development through this website and provide a forum for readers of all ages to exchange their own. This site is a place to tell our stories about education: our experiences past and present, and our vision for future generations.
