Unschoolers have been among the first to adopt a Type I approach to education.
They promote autonomy by allowing youngsters to decide what they learn and how they learn it. They encourage mastery by allowing children to spend as long as they’d like and to go as deep as they desire on the topics that interest them.
Even if unschooling
is not for you or your kids, you can learn a thing or two from these educational innovators. Start by reading John Taylor Gatto’s
extraordinary book,
Dumbing Us Down. Take a look at
Home EducationMagazine and its website. Then checkout some of the many other unschooling sites on the Web.
