“Independent study, community service, adventures and experience, large doses of privacy and solitude, a thousand apprenticeships (the one-day variety or longer) these are all powerful, cheap, and effective ways to start a real reform of schooling.”

John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing Us Down

We want to encourage you all who are giving homeschooling a go (whether by choice or by force).
•
You’re doing it! Great job! We’re cheering for you!
•
This is a great opportunity. Suddenly children all over the world are experiencing the freedom to pursue their own interests and explore their own learning styles.
•
Many of you may be quick to get your kids back into the school system when all of this is over, but even so, we want to invite every family to utilize this time as freedom for your children to adapt, learn, and thrive.
•
Give unschooling a try. Allow interests to drive your children. Trust them. Empower them. Resist the urge to micromanage their time.
•
When in doubt, trust their innate abilities to learn.
