To unschool, is to do exactly that, to no longer school. To play cards and dig in the dirt and cook, a cuddle and chase butterflies and know taht it is all being taken in. A dear friend, Paul Mech, shared how upset she was to find her daughhter sitting in the freshly tilled garden letting dirt fall through her fingers after the mom told her to find something constructive to do. She left her daughter be. We don't do school in our house.
School implies a set time and set learning.
My children learn all the time. They ask questions, I answer them. They play, I play, I read, they read, I write, they write. I take them places and do whatever I expect them to do. I am who they learn from what it is to be a successful adult.
