  • Unschooling and Social Justice/Multicultural Education: (Un)Realized Potential Kristan Morrison Radford University, US
    Other Education: The Journal of Educational Alternatives ISSN 2049-2162 Volume 7(2018), Issue 2 · pp. 97-117 Unschooling and Social Justice/Multicultural Education: (Un)Realized Potential Kristan Morrison Radford University, US. Abstract An online survey of unschooling families (student-directed form of homeschooling) sought to discover whether and how unschooled children experience a social justice curriculum (one that seeks equity between cultures, ethnicities, genders, classes, and sexualities). The 2016 survey asked about unschooled children’s relationships with/recognition of people different from themselves, their degree of critical analysis of systems and institutions in society which created, maintain, and perpetuate inequities, and whether they had opportunities to envision and work for a just and equitable society. The philosophical tenets of unschooling complicate this query, and are explored. Findings illustrate that unschooling’s educational philosophy of “curriculum-as- lived” (as opposed to “curriculum-as-plan”) (Aoki, 2004) has the potential (though not realized by all unschooling families) to provide a unique approach to social justice/multicultural education, allowing unschooled children to learn about minoritized cultures, systems that led to the minoritization, and the possibilities and pathways to a more equitable society. Keywords unschooling, multicultural education, social justice, student-directed learning, homeschooling Introduction Unschooling defined Student-directed learning in the home, termed unschooling (Farenga, 1999), is a form of education in which parents eschew a formal or standardized curriculum and instead allow their children curricular freedom. In unschooling, “the learner’s freedom and autonomy [is] limited as little as possible, ...learning always starts with the individual’s needs, goals, and desires, and not with any supposed body of knowledge or societal demands” (Miller, 2004).

  • 11 Academic Benefits of Unschooling
    Retrieved: https://www.todaysparent.com/family/parenting/academic-benefits-of-unschooling/ 11 academic benefits of unschooling In Unschooling to University, Judy Arnall, a parenting expert and ‘unschooler’ to five kids, makes the case for ditching the classroom. By Judy Arnall October 1, 2019 Photo: iStockPhoto Many people ask, “How do kids pick up 12 grades of knowledge if they don’t go to school or homeschool?” The answer is that children acquire knowledge through play, projects, volunteering, field trips and everyday life. They don’t need to “catch up” because they are learning in a different way and much of it is invisible. When they get older, they may switch to a different track; one where all that accumulated knowledge is proven with gradable output such as exams, essays, presentations, and research projects. Here are 11 academic benefits that unschooling provides: 1. Critical thinking is encouraged Large bureaucracies do not handle questioning well. They operate, by their very nature, on the contingent of obedience. If there are too many disrupters, they get bogged down and lose time and efficiency. Critical thinkers are disruptive because they interrupt the prescribed flow of content delivery. Classroom dissenters are often dealt with by being sent to detention or shamed into silence. All children should be critical thinkers. They should respectfully question everything they don’t understand, from content to rules and regulations. Critical thinking is about gathering information, exposing embedded values and assumptions, breaking down data, and analyzing arguments. Unschooling promotes questions without punishment. 2. Problem solving is encouraged When schools have problems, teachers, principals, and support staff are expected to solve them.

In the five years since we began, The Freechild Project has identified three powerful trends in social change led by and with young people: 1. Social change led by young people is not all about young people. Instead, children and youth are working for their communities, their families, their cities, and their world. Action that is focused on youth issues often addresses young people as a whole, not isolating other youth because of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.

  • Unschooling and Creativity: Trusting Ourselves to Learn
    Unschooling and Creativity: Trusting Ourselves to Learn By Patrick Farenga, [email protected] Presented at the Berklee School of Music Symposium for Interconnected Arts and Music Performance on Dec. 8, 2018. I want to thank the Symposium for Interconnected Arts and Music Performance for inviting me to address the issue of creativity and music from the perspective of learning outside of school. I have worked in the field of alternative education for more than 36 years, specifically with families who help their children learn without attending conventional schooling. My wife and I unschooled our three daughters, who are now ages 31, 29, and 26, and I worked at Growing Without Schooling magazine from 1981 until it ceased publication in 2001. I continue to write, speak, and consult with people around the world who want to encourage children’s self-directed learning. From the moment we are born, we are all self-directed learners—all healthy babies learn to walk, talk, and socialize without formal lessons and, if they are allowed to continue to grow and learn in a safe environment with welcoming adults they also learn to read, write, calculate and investigate the world without being taught. It is hard for us to remember that children were part of the fabric of daily life in communities throughout the world from the beginning of humankind. It is only since around 1850, less than 200 years ago, that school became the primary place for children to learn and grow. Today, most people believe that school is a necessity not just for teaching the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic, but also for finding work worth doing and developing one’s abilities throughout their entire lives.

    TENTH Congress of Qualitative Inquiry University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign www.icqi.org Abbott, Angela D., Grandview Elementary/Marshall University The Children are Finally LearningÑLet the Disruptions Begin! Since I became an Elementary school teacher in West Virginia 17 years ago, we have been through so many different sets of Òmore rigorousÓ standards and been Òheld accountableÓ through so many different assessment regimes that they have all begun to blur together. From “No Child Left Behind” to “Guided Reading” to “S.M.A.R.T Goals” to “Walk to Interventions” to “Personal Learning Communities,” each new initiative has come with deeper texts, better tests, newer technologies, and higher stakes. One thing that hasnÕt changed, though, is the parade of people who march through our profes- sional development sessions, our classrooms, and our planning periods, ever exhorting us to embrace the latest trend. Another thing that hasn’t changed are the interrupted lives of students in a high need school. Using a ÒDay in the LifeÓ narrative, this presentation illustrates the challenge of teaching in the face of constant disruption.

    0 INTRODUCTION (read this or the book won't make sense) I send out a daily email called The Tom Woods Letter. This book is a collection of the juiciest issues. Daily is too often, according to the gurus, but I've more or less based my whole career on ignoring them. People write to tell me: I love and look forward to your daily emails. They're funny, they're informative, they're just the right length, they help me keep my sanity, whatever. I'm a libertarian, of course, and for a long time I directed the bulk of my criticism at neoconservatives. Sure, I well understood the problems of the left, but I thought they were almost too obvious to dwell on. The neocons were more insidious, and in my view weren't subject to nearly enough scrutiny. Over the past year or so, though, with the growth in SJW (Social Justice Warrior) activity, I've been vividly reminded of the evils of the left. Nearly all of what you read in this book, therefore, is directed at leftism. The left's moral priorities completely baffle me. They're far angrier at someone who holds politically incorrect views than they are at someone who launches an unnecessary war. And for all their pretensions to being antiwar, they seem more committed to making sure transgender folks can become fighter pilots. It's weird. One more thing to prepare you for what follows: my emails often end with a pitch for one of my products, so be aware of that as you read what follows.
