I just read this lovely description of unschooling by Deb, a member of the unschooling-dotcom Yahoo! group. I enjoyed it so much, I just had to share it:
Unschooling, in essence, is exactly what you are already doing with your
3 year old – living life and letting learning happen in all sorts of
wonderful and exploratory ways – whether it’s spending time reading
stories together or exploring a local park or playing with water toys in
the bath. It’s life, it’s learning, it wonderful! Unschooling is simply
extending that trust in life learning or natural/organic learning into
the “school age” and not dividing life up into little boxes called
“math” or “history” but seeing all of life and learning as
interconnected.
