Unschooling
YOU HAVE TO QUESTION EVERYTHING
"You have to be willing to be skeptical about, well I just question everything. I don’t take people’s word for things. You have to be willing to question the value of institutional learning in order to see past it to the possibilities outside of it. It might be a personality thing, maybe it’s a privilege thing. I don’t know what all goes into it. For me it wasn’t that hard. It wasn’t that much of a stretch. In fact, to me, as soon as I really started pursuing it, I was like now it makes sense. It was children learning from their affections. To me it all makes perfect sense and I honestly struggle to see how people don’t see it."
What is Unschooling
YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO QUESTION THE VALUE OF INSTITUTIONAL LEARNING
I would say that unschooling is learning uncoupled from structure. Children take the lead by learning what they love to do and doing it. Parents are the cheerleaders, administrative assistants, and purchasing agents.
