Thanks, friend, for this remarkable article.
I am a "right-brained" person who never fit in or felt comfortable in the "educational settings" I was compelled to suffer during the first part of my life. I learn what I am motivated to learn, and I do so very rapidly and intensely, as needed.
I abhor compulsion in all of its guises. Thank you for such a clear presentation of the advantages of unschooling!
😄😇😄
Amen ^^ Though I have to say, the experience itself led me to the insight I have today. So in some way, I am thankful.
Do you mean "the experience" of being schooled?
I would agree that negative experiences can teach us, but I would much rather learn positively.
Won't go in too many details as to my whole life story :p But yes, mostly the experience of the schooling itself, together with many other factors, has eventually led me to great insights. Of course I would rather learn and experience in a positive matter as well. But then again, if that were the case, I would be a completly different person right now..
