To Unschoolers, Learning Is As Natural As BreathingDid you know that a growing percentage of home schoolers are becoming unschoolers?

Without bells, schedules, and rules about what to do and when, the knowledge they gain through mindful living and exploration is absorbed more easily and enthusiastically. Learning is a natural, inborn impulse, and the world is rich with lessons to be learned and puzzles to be solved.Successful unschooling parents know how to stimulate and direct their children's learning impulse. Once you read this book, so will you!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down until I read it. I had the whole thing read in 3 days. However, I did expect more of a "how to" book, while this was more of a book designed to convince the reader of the benefits of unschooling. So as good as the book was, and I do not regret purchasing it, it should have a different title, because the title is misleading. The book consisted of a lot of interviews by unschooling parents and their children, why they liked unschooling, how they've benefited, and often examples of what a day in their life was like. In defense of the author, though, after reading up on unschooling and now coming to understand more about it, I think it is almost impossible to really, really write an unschooling "how to" book, because there are as many different ways to do it as their are children, literally. This is because each child's education is led by their own interests. Maybe more ideas of ways to encourage their interests would have been nice, but otherwise, I enjoyed the book. It did a lot to help me to understand the nature of unschooling. My daughter is cyber schooled, and I plan on home schooling her beginning next school year. After reading this book, I was able to come to my decision on whether to unschool or not. I have decided that my style of homeschooling will likely be somewhere between traditional homeschooling and unschooling, with an unschooling slant. I like the idea of letting the child's interest dictate their education. But I think my own standards require a little more discipline and structure. For example, many unschoolers let their kids choose their own bedtimes, choose what to eat, what and how much tv. etc. These are areas where I like more structure, although I don't enforce a very strict bedtime, I do make her go to sleep if she is up unreasonably late. But as far as the education itself, I would like to let her own interests lead her education. I loved what one of the interviewed unschool parents said in the book, in part, "In a world as vast and complex this one, how did we ever come to this mutual understanding that there is just one neat package of stuff one needs to get into one's head to be 'educated'". And there are so many more words of wisdom from other unschooling parents, that's just one. I feel exactly the same. While cyber schooling, I noticed that my daughter had to learn the layers and types of rock. I thought, "When did I ever fill out a job application and was asked 'what are the types of rock?'". There is SOOOO much to learn in this vast universe. The volumes of information couldn't fit into a warehouse. That said, what committee or politician or group of them decides what, out of that vast universe of knowledge to be learned, should be condensed into one little 4th grade text book and what should be left out? Of course, what ends up in the text book is just the tip of the iceberg, and half of what's in it does not interest my daughter, though she does love science, it's one of her favorite subjects. Shouldn't she be able to delve into whatever areas of science are interesting to her? Wouldn't it make sense that if given the freedom to pursue what fascinates her, she will learn it and learn it well? How much do any of us remember from 4th grade science if it bored us? What about if it interested us? That is why I'm going to "homeschool with an unschooling slant". As far as the book goes, yes, I would recommend it as long as the reader knows before they purchase it that it really isn't much of a how-to book. Given the nature of unschooling, that's almost impossible to do. The only part of the book I don't care for is the title.
