"Presents a philosophy of learning that structures learning opportunities around a particular child's passions and intersts.
Quotes: "The categories of knowledge are simply artificial; they exist for reasons that have nothing to do with learning, nor with the advancements of knowledge. Chemistry blends seamlessly into physics and math and biology and sociology...rather than create artificial boundaries, it's fun to see where something leads". Pg15, Patrick
"Institutional learning's set curricula were designed to accommodate the challenges and limitation of a system that puts a large number of children of the same age in one room for five or six o=hours a day, five days a week. There is nothing magic about the subjects that have been chosen for a particular age level that makes it essential to learn them at that time. There is also nothing sacred about the chosen subjects themselves". Pg 15, Terry
"But mathematics is so much more: pattern recognition, sorting, measurement, logic, problem-solving, probability, statistics, topology, and much more. If we let ourselves begin to look at it all, its hard to avoid seeing math everywhere..." pg 98
"flipping through this again (checked it out last summer, too) as i look for inspiration for the coming year.
this year it is really making me think differently - that and learning more about project-based learning. it's a tricky thing sometimes to find the right learning environment for your specific kiddos."
"I really enjoyed this. While it seems funny that unschooling would need a handbook, it was a great introduction and gave me ideas for the future. I really liked the example transcript for college applications and the stories from the kids who had lived unschooled lives."
