Unschooling

This is something I wrote in (probably -- it's undated) 2009:
Unschooling is more interested in and focused on attitudes than information -- attitudes about learning, about life, and about the relationship between the two. The information is consequential. Institutional school focuses on the attainment of information for the purpose of a certificate of achievement, with little regard for lifelong attitudes toward learning -- and because of this, their methodology often causes irreparable harm to the intrinsic processes that make children lifelong learners.
** currently, I have more hope than the "irreparable" harm schools can do. But I do believe it is much messier than it may need to be! :))
