11/24 Great School Debate

Quote From: julie1418

It wasn't a combative question, I don't really think it warranted such a defensive answer. You aren't going to get many people to understand the dynamics of unschooling if you refuse to give concrete answers.

Combative?  I gave you an honest, thoughtful answer. 

 

I think unschooling makes a lot of people very uncomfortable, as it goes against what conventional wisdom tells us.  That kids can grow up and become productive members of society WITHOUT school.  Without honors.  Without transcripts.  It means that what you've been taught and believe isn't 100% correct.

 

Unschooling challenges people's beliefs.  I doubt no matter what I or any other unschoolers say on this board will change anyone's mind here.  But I'm sure we'll make you think. :)
