Mothers, Unschooling and a Lazy Way of Life
Is unschooling a lazy way of life? Do mothers choose to unschool because they can’t be bothered putting together a proper homeschool program for their children’s education? Perhaps unschooling mothers don’t actually do much in a day.
My daughter Imogen and I discussed these questions in today’s podcast.
Along the way, we also talked about how we can encourage a love of learning, strewing, tiredness and how everything is potentially interesting, even maths! I also chatted more about fulfilling rather strict homeschool regulations, and record keeping.
I hope some of that sounds interesting and you’d like to listen to this week’s podcast.
Please ignore any contradictions. This is an unscripted conversation where we mulled over ideas as we chatted. Words don’t always come out perfectly!
