A description of Deschooling by Beverley Paine
"Deschooling specifically refers to that period of adjustment experienced
by children removed from school settings. It also can include the process
of deschooling parents; that is, the unlearning of concepts and beliefs
about the nature and purpose of education.
School based methods of instruction and thinking rarely translate directly
into the homeschool, and where they are tried, often parents run into
the same kinds of problems faced by teachers in schools!
Children and parents need time to adjust to the new arrangement.
Often this is best begun with a 'holiday' at home, a time to observe
and record what naturally occurs in the child's life, and where additional resources are needed to introduce additional learning activities considered important and essential.
It often takes many months, and sometimes even a year, for the process of deschooling to unfold. During this time it is a great idea to seek support from families who display a similar style of homeschooling to yourself. "
