"I just can't learn nothing, it's impossible, even with my old, feeble brain. I turned on the computer and was assaulted with all sorts of information. Imagine how hard it will be for the girls with their sharp, shiny new brains."

Flo Gascon

"I just love Learn Nothing Day! My 5 year old said to me today, 'Mom is that possible.... to have a day where we don't learn something?' ;) "

Unschoolers need a holiday. When people ask if they homeschool in the summer, they say yes. When people ask when they have a break from learning, they say never.

This has gone on for a long time now.

July 24, 2008 will be the first (and maybe last) annual Learn Nothing Day a vacation for unschoolers, though it may be celebrated by anyone who wishes.

Learn Nothing Day is void in Utah, and people in Utah will know why. Special dispensation for Utah unschoolers: Learn Nothing will be celebrated in Utah on July 25.

"9:37 am -
Took a break to remind the kids (who were just getting up) that today was Learn Nothing Day and that they should certainly take advantage of this opportunity to... learn nothing.
"They looked at me like I was a total moron."

Here is art in several sizes for making your own signs, magnets, t-shirts... I know not what you might want to make, but as long as you let people know the art was done by me and Holly, feel free to go and make things for your family and friends. Images with links are there too, for blogs and such.

Guide to the art on the Learn Nothing Day logo

Maybe for next year... Buy a shirt, or a mug, or a clock! Many other items are there available with only a teensy small mark-up.
