Real education shouldn't be something we get done and over with so we can do what we really want. Seems like the trick is in the environment.

Too many kids are entertained by their parents and it's no surprise that they are the ones who get bored so quickly. We got rid of our tv when we moved to Germany and it's been almost 8 months, I don't think I've ever heard the phrase "I'm bored" come out of their mouth. Every morning when they wake up they run straight to the office/school room and start crafting. They come up with much more creative things than I ever could provide them with. And I think they learn so much more from their own interests and excitement than if they spent hours sitting at a desk.Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904902644465331205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829891940188548746.post-41489259397617581532013-05-18T03:56:20.112-06:002013-05-18T03:56:20.112-06:00Actually vacuuming is an important life skill so I...Actually vacuuming is an important life skill so I'd put that right up there at the top of the curriculum! Or not. But still, I say yes to all of the above counting as schooling.<br /><br />I talked to someone recently who does unschooling and her day is totally unstructured. The children guide the learning and seem to make great learning choices. Fascinating!Joyce Moyer Hostetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153114928220349251noreply@blogger.com
