Unschooling in the World

Links to sites on unschooling for countries around the world.

“Scientific observation has established that education is not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment. The task of the teacher becomes that of preparing a series of motives of cultural activity, spread over a specially prepared environment, and then refraining from obtrusive interference. Human teachers can only help the great work that is being done, as servants help the master. Doing so, they will be witnesses to the unfolding of the human soul and to the rising of a New Man who will not be a victim of events, but will have the clarity of vision to direct and shape the future of human society”.

Hello, I've just joined minti and I'm hoping to be an active member, posting every other day or so. I have two decades of homeschooling experience, doing school-at-home and unschoolling and am happy to share my thoughts and feelings. My kids are all grown up! But I remember the ups and downs really well...

Is there a setting I can tweak so that if there is a post here I am alerted by email?

cheers

now that i have established that there are no homeschool parents that want to talk to me i have decided that this will be my last post here... so i bid you seeyalatamate and hope you enjoy not posting in this blog.... *As she wipes the cobwebs from the corners of the blackboard with her duster and blows the chalk off her hands, she glances one last time around the room, lit only by the fading sunlight coming through the pale fabric covering the windows, she squinted to see it all. It was such a deeply shadowed corner of the building, that lost it's life long ago. The solitary desk sat central, a decades dust and rich brown leaves below, their only movment was swirling at her feet as she slowly walked out the door. The click clack of her shoes stedily faded and then silence pure and final.

wow i had too many lollies... sorry 'bout that... :) we all have our weeknesses lol.   just wondering if anyone knows if i can get a hold of standard tests for the end of kindy, how far am i suposed to go with my sons kindy program because i can't find any kindy curriculi anywhere.
