Hi.  I know what home schooling is, but what is unschooling?

Thanks,
Jo Elizabeth

brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and 
died in cotton fields and sweatshops.--Stephen Jay Gould

Please just call me Rhonda! :)
Both my hubby and I are blind, and our child has 20 20  vision.
Does anyone else on this group homeschool?

"Connect
Grow
Serve
Go"

"Do you know that rest, the rest that comes from the heart of God and 
permeates every fiber of who you are...no matter what you are facing? God 
desires for you to know His rest, for you to experience the fullness of His 
love and His peace. If your soul is in turmoil, lift your gaze to the 
Father. Seek His heart. He will meet you at your need and sustain you one 
day at a time. Spend some sacred quiet time with Him today."

"Being a Christian doesn't mean you won't go through trials, it means you 
will never walk alone as you go through them. Jesus will be with you. No 
matter how hard the trials of life may get God is always present and He is 
always there comforting us through those trials."

Sand irritates the oyster and the oyster responds by becoming a beautiful 
pearl. Allow difficulties to serve your transformation in the blossoming 
consciousness that you are...

"It is better to treasure the transient rainbow, than hope for something 
that might come later.

"Growth and mastery come only to those who vigorously self-direct. 
Initiating, creating, doing, reflecting, freely associating, enjoying 
privacy-these are precisely what the structures of schooling are set up to 
prevent, on one pretext or another."

A totalitarian state will give its youth to no one, but will itself take 
youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.
~ Adolf Hitler

The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along 
without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions at state expense.
~ Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

What luck for rulers that men do not think.
~ Adolf Hitler

The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions but 
to destroy the capacity to form any.
~ Hannah Arendt

The battle for humankind's future must be won in the public schools by 
teachers who correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith: 
a religion of humanity. The classroom must and will become an arena of 
conflict between the old & the new, the rotting corpse of Christianity with 
all its adjacent evils & misery, and the new faith.
~ John Dunphy, The Humanist magazine

Parents give up their rights when they drop the children off at public 
school.
~ Melinda Harmon, U.S. Federal Judge, 1996

The end cannot justify the means for the simple and obvious reason that the 
means employed determine the nature of the ends produced.
~ Aldous Huxley

Trying to get more learning out of the present system is like trying to get 
the Pony Express to compete with the telegraph by breeding faster ponies. ~ 
Edward Fiske

If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the 
opposite direction.
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the 
society as it is.
~ Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society

The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda - a 
deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, 
but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make 
'good' citizens, which is to say,docile and uninquisitive citizens.
~ H. L. Mencken

You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a 
system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, 
but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam 
of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The 
slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are 
being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a 
regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating 
system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others, will be 
encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself - educating your own 
judgment. Those that stay must remember, always and all the time, that they 
are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs 
of this society.
~ Doris Lessing

Far from failing in its intended task, our educational system is in fact 
succeeding magnificently because its aim is to keep the American people 
thoughtless enough to go on supporting the system.
~ Richard Mitchell, The Underground Grammarian

When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.
~ Eric Hoffer

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be 
unpopular.
~ Adlai Stevenson

You can fool too many of the people too much of the time.
~ James Thurber

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher 
esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche

What we think about when we are free to think about what we will - that is 
what we are or will soon become.
~ A.W. Tozer

The idea of learning acceptable social skills in a school is as absurd to me 
as learning nutrition from a grocery store.
~ Lisa Russell

Fashion is an induced epidemic.
~ George Bernard Shaw

Like its politicians and its war, society has the teenagers it deserves.
~ John Boynton Priestly

They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, scoffing and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
>From the truth they needs must think.
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three.
~ James Russell Lowe

In 2008 America unnecessarily proved that they weren't prejudice. Now, in 
2012 America needs to prove that they have the sense that God has given 
them. Obama must go! let's make a change.

>From the day we arrive on the planet. blinking, step into the sun. There's 
more to see than can ever be seen. More to do than can ever be done. There's 
far too much to take in here. More to find than can ever be found. But the 
sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky. Keeps great and small on the endless round. It's 
the Circle of Life.
