  School Isn't for Everyone Chapter 11 The one thing that you need; Chapter 12 Unleasing a life of learning

  Feb 18, 202621 minS3

  <p>Chapter 11</p><p>Do you need lots of money? Do you need lots of space? A clean house or a car? What is the one thing that parents need to be able to unschool and unschool well? And can they do without so many of the other things that they think are essential? This chapter quickly gets to the point and outlines how strong, caring, responsive, compassionate, relationships are the foundation for the success of unschooling. Creating a family culture where everyone is treated with compassion, where connecting with each other is the priority, and introducing collaboration into family...

  School Isn't for Everyone Chapter 10 How not to be a teacher

  Feb 4, 202629 minS3

  <p>Unschooling and Self-Directed Education can often lead people to believe that children are left to do what they want and learn by themselves. Whilst there is space for independence and doing things on their own, children always need a dedicated and supportive adult alongside them. It is apparent though that direct teaching and the task of providing a curriculum, or workbooks is not compatible with the ethos of unschooling and can leave parents feeling like they are doing nothing and unsure of what their role is. This chapter brings together the essential role of the parent or main care...

  School Isn't for Everyone Chapter 8 What to expect as unschooled children grow and Chapter 9 Teens, screens and socialisation

  Jan 21, 202632 minS3

  <p>Chapter 8 </p><p>Unschooled children are different. Their experience of the world is different, their relationships with family, friends and their community are different, the way they live is different and how they learn is different. Throughout this book I have talked about how school does things and the effect that that can have on our children. I have also talked about how unschooling families approach things and the impact that those choices have on our children. As our children grow up the difference between schooled and unschooled children becomes noticeably bigger and increasingly more obvious, especially for those...

  School Isn't for Everyone Chapter 7 ABC of learning to read

  Jan 7, 202627 minS3

  <p>It is not uncommon for children to leave school carrying strong negative feelings about reading and those who have never been to school may not show an interest in learning to read much later than their schooled peers. The interview in this chapter draws on the experience of one family with two children, one of whom initially attended school and came to unschooling with significant trauma, and the other has always been unschooled. Both are now able to read. The question that this chapter asks is, what do children really need to be able to learn to read? Drawing...

  School isn't for everyone Chapter 6 Learning without a curriculum

  Dec 24, 202535 minS3

  <p>It’s difficult to let go of curriculums and to see how learning can happen without them. It’s not a surprise, it is the way that we were taught, it is the way that most children are taught, and it is the way that gives us some concrete assurance that learning is happening, and our children are moving forwards. When we don’t use a curriculum, or our children aren’t interested in formal lessons (they want to play all day because they are children) their learning appears chaotic, or it feels impossible to see what they are learning...
