Description
Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom As the traditional schooling model becomes increasingly standardized, parents and educators are rethinking the role of education in society. Kerry McDonald explores the growing movement of self-directed learning, where individuals and organizations are creating alternative approaches to education. By examining historical and contemporary research, McDonald sheds light on how some parents and educators are enabling their children to learn without the confines of a traditional school. This book introduces a diverse group of innovators who are challenging the myth that children need to be taught in order to learn. From parents who have seen the negative impact of schooling on children's natural curiosity, to educators who have left public school classrooms to launch self-directed learning centers, McDonald's narrative offers a compelling look at the evolution of an old schooling model.
