Our kids have never been to school and I'm pretty sure they won't ever. I know I can't predict the future but we live as if school didn't exist because in our lives it doesn't.
We want freedom from the standards, grades, tests, subjects, schedule etc...
We live and learn each day without school.
Learning is as natural as breathing when one has never been stifled by schooling.
Learning is not a chore, it is not a lesson given by a teacher, it is not something only done Monday through Friday from 8-2.
Learning is a personal thing between the learner and the world. We can't make someone learn, sure we can try but it's artificial.
Learning through Living is the best and most easy way to learn anything.
When we want information, we seek it out, we research on the web, go to the library, ask someone who we believe may know, watch tv/movies, experiment, try something new, be creative.
School is not essential to life and it really is a hazard to an individual's learning style.
When one is not schooled, they know how they learn best and they just do it.
Think outside of the box, leap outside of the box, it's worth it!
I am amazed everyday by my children, they truly Learn through Living!
