Great article! I was homeschooled. My three oldest children go to school but I plan to homeschool my youngest two. There are so many different thoughts and styles now though. I’ve come across Unschooling before but never really paid close attention as it didn’t seem like a valid option, but this article has me rethinking some things. Thank you!
This was an excellent post, Tania -- so much food for thought here. I don't regret homeschooling for the year we did it (for Covid-related reasons, so not even "real" homeschooling in many ways), and I don't regret sending my kids to school. Both have a lot of merit and it depends so much on each individual family and situation. (It's interesting to me that homeschooling is viewed very differently in Europe... it's pretty much exploding in popularity here in the U.S.)
Wow, this is an incredible article! I can’t believe I got to be a part of it ♥️ It’s incredible to read from unschooling families all over the world!
Pourgues sounds like an absolute dream; I love the emphasis on intrinsic motivation. And that book recommendation list is gold.
I can’t believe how much work and research you put into this, Tania! Your journalistic skills and dedication blow me away. This is a very important piece that I will be pointing people to for a long time. 🙌🏼
Have you ever the read The Awakening of Miss Prim?
