Unschooling: Trust, Autonomy, and The Realities of Learning
When We Don’t Know What to Do
Taking Risks, Looking Strange
… And we shouldn’t be afraid of taking risks: doing something different and trying new things. People might look at us strangely, but then again, they might not. They might think what we’re doing is great.It’s strange how many of us tend to stick to the same way of doing things, isn’t it? We want to blend in, stay under the radar and not stick out. Unschooling can be a bit that way. When my kids were growing up, we didn’t know any other unschoolers, so we tried to blend in with everyone else so we felt accepted. And we did okay until people engaged us in conversation. Then, our differences appeared. It became apparent we weren’t like everyone else. We were strange!
