TAKE A CLASS FROM THE UNSCHOOLERS
In the United States, the homeschooling movement has been growing at a remarkable pace over the past twenty years. And the fastest-growing segment of that movement is the “unschoolers”—families that don’t use a formal curriculum and instead allow their children to explore and learn what interests them.


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 Education
Magazine and its website. Then checkout some of the many other unschooling sites on the Web. For more information, go to www.homeedmag.com
