unschooling book?
Tori
Hi all!
I just posted this question to another list, so I apologise to those
of you in Canada who are getting it twice. My question is this:
There are so many books written for children about the 'first day of
school'. Has anyone seen anything specifically written for children
around the ages of 5 or 6 about homeschooling as an alternative? My
dd is only 3 and already convinced that she is 'supposed' to go to
school. I was thinking that a book about a child who was
home/unschooled would make her feel more 'normal'. (Whatever that
means!)
Love, Tori

That would be close to what our lives are really like.
She gets to learn what she wants to when she wants to. Does that appeal to
her?
Tell her right this very minute my 6 yo daughter is trying to get her
cardboard-box rocket ship to ride on the skateboard (she's just gone out to
get the 2nd one) and that is "school" today.
Tell her we are going to the library later this afternnon to see the puppet
show -- something about science and puppets.
Some kids have pen pals too.
Good luck! She sounds wonderful.
