This has to change if we want our children to live in a peaceful world. – The main focus of parenting today is obedience and meeting the needs of the parent. – Humans learn from all that they do and experience in life, not just what our culture deems ”educational.” – Separating life into subjects isn’t necessary or natural. Learning is pleasurable if it is not forced on us. – Respecting a child’s choice and autonomy is an evolution of understanding and birth right of every human. – Forced learning isn’t effective and causes more damage than formerly thought.
– School is only one of many choices for our children in our technologically advanced world. We are parenting and educating our children today to succeed in a joyful, productive life by following their passions, not someone else’s agenda.
Radical Unschooling – the book – focuses also on the evolutionary aspect of parenting and human consciousness. The parent’s role is to facilitate their interests and curiosity. Radical Unschooling philosophy focuses on trust of a child’s innate ability to learn without coercion and invites children to explore their passions. It is different from homeschooling in that children are not forced to follow curriculum lessons and tests. Radical Unschooling is a progressive parenting philosophy, which includes children learning at home. –John Taylor Gatto, Author: Dumbing Us Down And Weapons of Mass Instruction Every parent who feels compelled to give their kids into the care of total strangers should read this book. Martin takes us behind the curtain to see in rich detail what alternative education really looks like when it bestows upon its subjects the freedom to choose.
