RE: Leaving School: The Case for Unschooling
Wow great post. Unschooling will not only allow the child to do what she enjoys doing, at the time she enjoys doing it, but will also allow her do it at her own pace. In school the teachers can't wait for a 'slow' student, they just rush things and at the end of the schooling year, give him an 'f'. Just so sad.
It is sad! And it's not even about being slow, some people learn differently. Some are brilliant, just don't fit the rules. But if you don't fit the rules, you're screwed.
Exactly, a person might be brilliant when it comes to the sciences, while another might be a genius when it come to painting, we all have our separate areas so strength.
