Autodidactic Unschooling

Autodidactic Unschooling-sorry if that is redundant.
Autodidactic means self educated

Unschooling (according to me) is Child Directed Autodidactism

Homeschooling is fine, but unschooling is Morethanfine.


True learning - learning that is permanent and useful, that leads to
intelligent action and further learning - can arise only out of the experience, interests, and concerns of the learner. John Holt

Birds fly, fish swim, children learn. Paraphrased from John Holt
(actual quote "Birds fly, fish swim, man thinks and learns.")


"Learning only happens when a child is interested. Otherwise, it is
like throwing marshmallows at their heads and calling it eating."
(unattributed but thanks to Stephanie from VaEclecticHS)
