More about unschooling...

I found this link on a list I am, a local unschooling list, actually. There is a lot of information and inspiration here about unschooling, if you are interested.

Here's a quote from Unschooling America
The basic principle of Unschooling is that humans are born to learn. Just like breathing, we learn throughout our entire lives without anyone making us do so. Learning is pleasurable if it is not forced on us. The goals of Unschooling have much to do with freedom, respect and trust. The true freedom, respect and trust that all humans deserve, including children. Without freedom of choice, real learning can not happen easily or authentically. Unschooling gives your family the gifts of a free, joyous life together where real learning happens all day, everyday!
Her article Why Unschooling Doesn't Come Naturally is worth reading.
