“Is
not the great defect of our education today...that although we often
succeed in teaching our pupils subjects, we fail lamentably on the
whole in teaching them how to think: they learn everything, except the
art of learning.” Dorothy Sayers

”Better
Late Than Early” and “School Can Wait”
authors argue
that formal
instruction should be delayed until the child is developmentally
ready.

Foundation—individualized
curricula based on your child’s interests and developmental
stage
The
Moore Formula
emphasizes volunteer work and entrepreneurship along with limited and
delayed formal academics.
“The
best early “academics” are your responses to your
children—giving
yourself to them in warm fellowship, conversation, travel; reading and
telling stories...encouraging them to develop their own creative ideas
in the sand pile, with kitchen dough, with a telescope, in a diary,
with tools in the garage or garden.” Dr. Raymond and Dorothy
Moore

learning”
Is
Unschooling
Legal? by Holly Furgason.

Conversation with John Holt
What
is
Unschooling?
Unschooling—Delight-driven
Learning
Alphabet
Soup - "Learning happens all the
time and doesn't have to look like
school. It can look like play or even lunch!"
(Rebecca A.)
“What
children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and
more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their
experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them;
and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get
where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to
find out what they want to find out.” John Holt in
“Teach
Your Own”
"There is a difference
between school and
learning. Focus on the learning and have fun using the world
and
life as your classroom." ;)
