Have you noticed a different kind of learning happening for your kids now that they're out of the classroom? This parenting expert makes the case for education through life experience.
Many people ask, “How do kids pick up 12 grades of knowledge if they don’t go to school or homeschool?” The answer is that children acquire, projects, volunteering, field trips and everyday life. They don’t need to “catch up” because they are learning in a different way and much of it is invisible. When they get older, they may switch to a different track; one where all that accumulated knowledge is proven with gradable output such as exams, essays, presentations, and research projects.
School is an institution; it must have rules, routines, policies, procedures, and permissions. To run efficiently, it must adhere to those elements above all other considerations, including personalized learning. A student who wishes to do something outside of the norm is often shut down because of “liability issues,” or “safety concerns,” or just plain “policy.” The beauty of unschooling rests in its very lack of these constraints.
When children unschool, they are not streamed until they apply and write the entrance exams for postsecondary courses.In schools, topics are broad and diluted. Schools teach wide and shallow in order to give bits of everything to their students. The goal is maximum exposure; time constraints do not allow for deep, involved learning. Children become masters of tidbits and experts on nothing. Deeper learning must be done on their own time. Because there are so many topics, schools pick and choose.
Many young unschoolers start businesses. They learn math, English, science, and social skills through the execution of the business.The school system is the worst for drilling into kids the idea that mistakes are a bad thing. The entire system is based on grading to motivate kids, but in doing so,. On a test or project, they are not rewarded with marks for the effort they put in, nor is the quality of their learning assessed. They are marked negatively, on the basis of the mistakes they made.
. Homeschooled children read from 10 to 40 novels in a year. Why? Because they had free time. Reading enhances ideas, discussions, world knowledge and provides pleasure. With so many hours of free time, unschooled children tend to be voracious readers.Time for sufficient sleep is a physical benefit of unschooling, but it also contributes hugely to academic performance.
