Unschooled

Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom

De: Kerry Mcdonald, Peter Grey PhD

Narrado por: Lesa Lockford

As schooling becomes increasingly standardized and test driven, occupying more of childhood than ever before, parents and educators are questioning the role of schooling in society. Many are now exploring and creating alternatives.

In a compelling narrative that introduces historical and contemporary research on self-directed education, Unschooled also spotlights how a diverse group of individuals and organizations are evolving an old schooling model of education. These innovators challenge the myth that children need to be taught in order to learn. They are parents who saw firsthand how schooling can dull children’s natural curiosity and exuberance, and others who decided early on to enable their children to learn without school. Educators who left public school classrooms discuss launching self-directed learning centers to allow young people’s innate learning instincts to flourish, and entrepreneurs explore their disillusionment with the teach-and-test approach of traditional schooling.

Great info

Easy to digest information. Audio quality was glitchy. Had to listen to it at a faster speed.

very insightful

Highly recommended for anyone needing dorection for homeschooling that is burnt out on the current school system!

Best

This is easily my favorite book on homeschooling. Doing school at home isn’t enough and Kerry shoes just how kids learn and thrive.

Schooling does not equal an education.

This was my first Unschooling book & it was wonderful. I learned a lot & can’t wait to continue learning about becoming an unschooling mama for our three boys.

Wonderful Listen and View on Education

I enjoyed listening to this book and learning about the un-schooled approach to education. I believe this book does exactly as intended, provides a view point of an alternate approach to education outside of the traditional schooled route. Just as the book suggests for the child-lead learning approach, if this books strikes a cord with you as a parent, it will be a great starting point for you to learn more about the unschooled approach.
