This recording comes from one of the events that was hosted during our School Revolt festival this year. It was hosted by James Khost. He’s a 15-year old student who is interested in filmmaking and editing. The documentary that he shared with us was a short experiential film about a day in the life of Brooklyn Apple Academy, which is part of the Flying Squads.

If you missed the event, this episode helps to put everything that was discussed together! You can also find James’s documentary on our YouTube channel. Though we’ve also included the audio from the video in this episode, we still highly recommend that you check out the film for the full experience. It’s genuinely enjoyable and a great look into the Flying Squads.

If you’re interested in more of James’s work, you can go to his website. You can also check out both Brooklyn Apple Academy and the Flying Squads for more information on homeschooling and self-directed education.

We’re happy to introduce a new project that we’re working in the APN! This is the first episode of Smash the Class, a podcast that seeks to explore and discuss different methods that could help us all re-think, dismantle, and re-build our learning spaces for the benefit of all people.

In our first episode, we spoke with Andrew about homeschooling. It was awesome to hear a first-person perspective on how it could be used to foster learning spaces and help build communities. We also discussed how it could work with other areas of praxis. This conversation is also an extension of his Homeschooling video, which is definitely recommended.

You can also go check out other topics on his YouTube channel, Saint Andrewism.

Enjoy and look out for more!
