Unschooling
Unschooling is a range of educational philosophies and practices centered on allowing children to learn through their natural life experiences, including play, game play, household responsibilities, work experience, and social interaction, rather than through a more traditional school curriculum. There are some who find it controversial. Unschooling encourages exploration of activities, often initiated by the children themselves, facilitated by the adults. Unschooling differs from conventional schooling principally in the thesis that standard curricula and conventional grading methods, as well as other features of traditional schooling, are counterproductive to the goal of maximizing the education of each child. (see Wikipedia)
"Unschooling isn't a method of instruction,
it's a different way of looking at learning."
~ Linda Wyatt
"People learn by playing, thinking and amazing themselves.
They learn while they're laughing at something surprising and
they learn while they're wondering 'What the heck is this?'"
~ Sandra Dodd
