Unschooling Blog, Vol. 45 - Manga Math at Breakfast
8 + 7 = ?
Had a nice little moment at the breakfast table that I recorded on the sly (excuse the strange camera angle):
Learning is happening constantly, everywhere, and in the natural flow of life. It has meaning to the seeker. In this case, my son wished to understand a comic.
This is what #unschooling is all about.

That is great @kafkanarchy84., you must be very proud 😊. I am so impressed by his math and language skills.
At that age, kids will almost teach themselves, if parents will only listen to their questions and engage/challenge them. I bet that you could makes 100 videos a day just like those. Tell Momma she's doing an awesome job!
Exactly. And thanks, @jbcoin. I’ll let her know. She does a great job indeed, (and that on top of dealing with all my bullshit, too 😜)
Haha!
That's a nice way of teaching kids. If you were my teacher in grade school, I might end up being smarter than what I'm now :)
Haha. I’m sure you are very intelligent regardless, but thank you ;)
Haha, a cheeky little moment you caught there. Always works a lot better when they are the ones asking questions out of curiosity. Shows how inquisitive we are from so young. Kids love to learn so why force it upon them. Really enjoy watching your vlogs. Very nice atmosphere you live in. Big respect for you sharing this.
My pleasure. Yes, learning is life and life is learning, and kids are all about it!
Cheers for the kind words and thoughtful comment.
Your welcome and just wish folk were allowed more time to be a family in today's world. Hey are you still tuned into James Corbett? The latest debacle with Sibel Edmonds and NewsBud is a crazy twist to the story.
I’m not familiar with that situation. Huh. Will have to look into it. What’s going on?
man! What a twist... I have been away from Corbett for a while and went to catch up. He has had to do a vid that destroys Sibel, but she did deserve it by the way things appear. She has gone a bit loco and not come out of it too well at all. Well worth a watch, although it is a little bit petty. Just interesting for long term listeners as it is so unexpected.
Nothing to say but very good post man 👌👏👍
Beautiful post video about unschooling. And at the end of leaning in this post I learned how to scratch a owl pic.
That's a great way to teach! He looks so adorable too :)
Thank you :)
Unschooling, a great concept. And you know curiosity is the best teacher. Asking questions is the way to gain more and more knowledge. Anyways your family is adorable and you child is cute.
