I know that I have a link to this post on the right side, but I just wanted to blog it here. I think that this post is one of the best posts out there about how school is the experiment and not Unschooling. After all, we are living free and organic lives; lives that are devoid of time-tables, pressures to learn certain things (even the things you hate) and lives that do not revolve around the almighty school.
The author likens school in her town to a circus and talks about how everyone goes school shopping to find the right school for them. I am sure that most parents find the right school based on how it will reflect on themselves and not at all because it’s the school that their children like best — even if they only like it best because the walls are blue and not white, the play ground (if there is one) is bigger or there were cute boys there!
Go read it and seriously consider taking your children out of school and then living life (and loving it) like there is no such thing as school. Most liberating and joyful.
