We are Unschoolers

We are unschoolers. This means that we do not send our child to school nor do we have formal lessons, follow a curriculum nor adhere to standardised testing parameters. Our child lives free to explore whatever subject he chooses in whatever way he chooses to explore it. If he were to be tested by the Ontario standards, he would far exceed them, but only if he felt like it. With living freely you cannot box in a persons ability to access information. You cannot MAKE them learn or teach what they have learnt on demand which is what the mainstream school system demands. There is no room for individuality or creativity in mainstream school. A child cannot simply say, I'm bored with this subject I want to draw or play music or go outside. It's insulting to our souls to allow this form of control to be lorded over children. We do not own children, we are merely the caretakers of their bodies until they can care for themselves without us. Mainstream school has become the babysitter for parents who must work. Those parents must work because our gov't has enslaved us with the myth of money, telling us that we must pay for everything including life necessities like housing, food and water. Another insult to our souls. In our house we live our lives to create and learn and teach. Money is not our driving force in anything we do. We create enough money to pay for what is necessary at this point in our world. We grow our own food, we are building our own self sufficient home and we are doing it with little or money. We rely on our community to help our son learn, to build our home, to supplement our diet with what we don't produce ourselves, for transportation when we can travel as group to cut back on gas and emissions. This is how we were meant to live as human beings. 
There be dragons living peacefully in our backyard! This was the project we unschoolers did today! May you be well and happy and free from fear.
