Without looking (and sounding) like a complete fool... What's unschooling?!

*Hides in embarrassment*
Only a fool would not ask and revel in ignorance.

And that's pretty much why unschooling works - saying, hey, here's an idea, then see what comes of it. And it doesn't matter who has the idea. It's about asking questions and learning how to discover stuff. And it's about no timetables and no set thing to discover at a set time.

For Liebs, it is exploring and questionning. For me, it's browsing a bookstore and finding something interesting. It's different for everyone as we all learn differently.

Which is why school can crush curiosity and a desire to learn in some. Or expose others to new, different ideas and inspire more learning. It's very individual.

For me, unschooling worked best. But my mother placed her need to keep the family fed above that, so went to work. Kudos to her. School is working best for Liebs atm, so my need to put food on the table and heat the house is also met, which works well.
