Pick'n'Mix Education (Why one-size-fits-all education systems are flawed and what parents can do about it)

Pick ’n’ Mix Education empowers parents to create personalised learning by combining the best elements of multiple approaches. Rather than accepting one-size-fits-all schooling, families can build flexible education through online learning, micro-schools, apprenticeships, gaming, AI tutors and expert mentoring. This practical guide offers frameworks for evaluating options, tracking progress, meeting legal requirements and supporting children's social development. It bridges the gap between mainstream schooling and radical alternatives, providing realistic, adaptable solutions without ideological extremes. Topics include industrial-age schooling, online platforms, AI, project-based learning, assessment beyond grades, apprenticeships, micro-schools, gaming, socialisation, legal compliance, technology and building learning communities. Packed with real-life case studies (many featuring US based providers), practical tools and step-by-step guidance, Pick ’n’ Mix Education is a roadmap for parents who want to design an education that reflects their child's needs and prepares them for the future.
