I want to press her to decide it’s “NONE,” because “some” is damaging to the child’s potential to learn it joyfully and discover it on his own. And “lots” will just hurt that much more. “None” can still be turned to “some” if the parent can’t get unschooling. But if she doesn’t even try unschooling, she misses forever the opportunity to see that child learn to read gradually and naturally. It will be gone forever. Forever.

When learning is recognized in the fabric of life and encouraged, when families make their decisions based on what leads to more interesting and educational ends, children learn without effort, often without even knowing it, and parents learn along with them.

Some people can’t leave school because they’re carrying it around like a snail and his shell. They live there, still. School became an ingrown, hard part of them. They still define themselves by their school failures and successes.

School kids don’t know the world is a million times bigger than school’s version of it.

For those orderly folks who have life all neatly arranged in their heads, who do more accepting than questioning, unschooling is a disturbing thing.

Kids who are in school just visit life sometimes, and then they have to stop to do homework or go to sleep early or get to school on time. They’re constantly reminded they are preparing ‘for real life,’ while being isolated from it.

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?’

Stop thinking schoolishly. Stop acting teacherishly. Stop talking about learning as though it’s separate from life.

Unschooling is creating an environment in which children can learn easily and naturally all the time.

If your child is more important than your vision of your child, life becomes easier.

Given a rich environment, learning becomes like the air – it’s in and around us.
