One key principle to unschooling is learning never stops.
•
We are always learning and it’s not possible to divide time into “learning time” and “non-learning time.” Everything that goes on around us, everything we hear, see, touch, and experience results in learning of some kind.

So after spending a day at the immigration office to get the proper visa stamps to be able to stay in Bali, we left to find we had a flat tire.
•
After getting out the spare, we discovered we did not have the proper tools and the rain was beginning to fall. We had a choice to make. We could get uptight and irritable at the situation or we could take a deep breath and take it as an opportunity to learn and grow.
•
We invited the kids to help solve the problem. One of the kids found an orange cone for the road, another kid found a police officer to help us find the proper tools, and we all worked together to get the job done.
•
Looking back, we are now thankful for the lesson and the opportunity to grow.
