Learning for Real: An Unschooling Diary
A unique research project only a parent can conduct!
Very honest real-time diary of a family who stepped completely outside the school system to observe what children naturally do when they are free to learn through life itself. Over three months the author documented her three children’s genuine impulses to play, create, explore, read, ask questions, build, imagine and rest — without schedules, pressure or classroom constraints.
What unfolds is a rare inside view of childhood curiosity, the true nature of learning. This is a manifesto, one family’s unfiltered, personal children thrive when given time, freedom, love and sleep.
A compelling read for anyone interested in deschooling, unschooling, child-led education or the hidden life of families when school is no longer in the way.
