On Hearing the School Bus

by Faith VoidAugust 25, 2010

It’s the first day of school and my seven year old son Easy and I were up. When we heard the school bus roll into town he told me his thoughts. I wrote them down as best I could and had the dictation approved by him. I really enjoyed his insight.

I don’t really want to go to school because then I can only learn about a limited amount of stuff. I like learning on my own cuz then I can learn what’s important to me. I like video games, I can learn new words, like charisma. I like to learn about guns and zombies. I have learned about about trees, lots of kinds of tools, how they work and what they do. I learn a bunch of math like 100+100 is 200 and 200+200 is 400. And 2+2 is 4. Its patterns.

Wanting to try unschooling, scared~ reader’s question

by Enjoy Life UnschoolingAugust 22, 2010

This is a letter from a reader, who is new to unschooling, who would like to have seasoned unschooler share their thoughts and views.

Hi there,
My husband and I have just discovered the world of unschooling and are really attracted to it (it just makes so much sense to us!) but we are just beginning to do more research to see if it’s right for our family. We already have our children enrolled in a private Christian school this year, so this gives us time to think and learn before diving in.

by Enjoy Life UnschoolingAugust 8, 2010

September’s topic is: “Unschooling Plus!”

The principles of unschooling pervade our lives, but there’s no such thing as a single “unschooling lifestyle”. How do you meld other aspects of your life, your wider values and passions with the principles of unschooling?

Send your links by Aug 31th please!

For instance, how do you incorporate unschooling principles with:

  • Religious beliefs
  • Personal ethics
  • Dietary issues
  • Health concerns
  • Home business, farm, or work-related travel
  • Living with adults outside the nuclear family
  • Political activism
  • Longstanding adult hobbies
