Peter Gray of Psychology Today has written often about topics related to education. His latest piece shows off the results of a survey of 231 families who are "unschoolers", or who do not send their children to school. It's interesting to see what so many of the families say in the quotes he includes!
One person wrote how they appreciate the "family-centered life" that unschooling fosters. When I read that, of course it struck a chord...we certainly have a lot in common, as far as the benefits of this lifestyle goes.
See for yourself here:
The Benefits of Unschooling: Report 1 from a Survey of 231 Families
and, just for kicks, ever wonder how those unschooled kids turn out
when they grow up? Here's one sample.
My Experience as an Unschooler
"I'm 27 years old, and was unschooled from the age of 0 - 18. There's a lot of speculation on the effects of unschooling - on intelligence, socialization, worldview, etc. So I'm here to try and provide the perspective of someone who has been through the process and come out on the other side."
