My Favorite things about Unschooling
-
You can do it at home!
- Your kids are there!
- It makes all of life a peaceful learning lab.
Unschooling is a subset of homeschooling. Unschooling is the radical, philosophical end of homeschooling. Unschooling is living a rich life and letting learning drop into your lap and into your ears and mind while you laugh and listen to music and play games. Unschooling is seeing the magic in every day, and the joy in yourself and the people around you.
If your children don't go to school, why should you bring school home? Be free! There is nothing in school that isn't also in the real world. (And if there IS, why would you be needing to know it if it doesn't exist outside?)
Use primary sources, not textbooks. Look at real nature, not photos of nature in a book.
