and was going to post. Thanks for putting it up.


Here's a very informative part:

While in school, learning happens in the classroom at certain times, in unschooling learning happens all the time, and there is no division between learning and life.

Let me emphasize that for a minute: in unschooling, life itself is learning. There is no “doing school” … you are learning all the time.



Here's my FAVORITE line: While school is structured, unschooling is like jazz. It’s done on the fly, changing as the student changes. - Let me repeat: UNSCHOOLING IS LIKE JAZZ.

I love it. Explains it perfectly in this musician's opinion!
