And how did the parent learn that to be able to share that knowledge? A great deal can be gained but your example of specific scientific concepts does rely on more knowledge than can be gained simply through observation and exposure.

I so appreciate your prospective and completely agree. My daughter is 8 and not reading, I used to worry all the time but now realize not only how useless the worry is, but I also realize that she will get it when she is ready. Until that time comes I will just continue exploring the things she loves together. I’m new to Unschooling my three children and I just LOVE what you have written.

I also agree that school doesn't give much freedom. I just happened to read another blogger about that: http://enjoylifeunschooling.com/schoolisprison/ Thanks for your post - we enjoy reading you!

It's harder to learn if you don't feel free. School is prison because you don't really have freedom of speech. You don't get to ask questions or answer them whenever you want. I think school is kind of against the constitution of America because it keeps you from being free and keeps you from the "pursuit of happiness."
