One of the mysteries of life for me is why we have designed school in such a way that it requires children to do so many things which are very hard for them - and which become much easier in adulthood. We require them to sit still when they are desperate to move. To stay in their seats when they want to crawl under the table. To keep quiet and listen when their body wants to play and shout.
I love this: Children aren’t built to sit still and absorb information. They are built to keep moving and playing. To hang upside down and climb on the roof. To dream and shout and talk all the time.
Always a joy to read your unique articles. I'm starting to enjoy the journey of unschooling and trying to get some guidance from your courses and webinars, though I must confess the transition is giving me a hard blow of the mind since the decision has always been difficult to take but the kids can say No in our house💕
I would assume you would be the first one to demonstrate for us how that’s done for say 10 years. You can demonstrate your new theory of what should be done and how. Oh wait, you have no real ideas, just a criticism. What a surprise.
Brilliant (As always).🙏🏻
Spot on. Love this.
No mystery, although I think your question is rhetorical ;) School is the first step in the capitalist economy, which requires conformity and control.

I think by not teaching children what they will learn as they grow older, you very well may be preventing them from learning these things.
