Education vs. Exploration
Many people have heard of unschooling.
In case you have not,
it is an educational philosophy
that rejects the structured feel of school.
Unschooling is often driven by the interests of the child.
There is a spectrum of unschooling,
from the families who do not even teach their children to read
to the families where the parents just reject a structured curriculum.
I believe
(without any real evidence to back my words)
that most parents
would prefer for their children to learn
in a stimulating and exciting environment.
Most parents want to be able to throw the books away
and let the children explore.
At the same time,
I believe most parents do not know how to ensure that
their children are learning
without a little help.
I want to offer that help.
Please let me know what you feel is lacking.
What is preventing you from letting your child’s
natural curiosity
serve as the springboard for learning?
