Unschooling and John Holt
This link was sent to me today by a tagfoot friend, and I immediately thought about all you homeschoolers who use the coloring pages at Color-Your-Own.com. The page is about “Unschooling” and John Holt, who coined the term. Read about Mr. Holt and unschooling here. IMHO traditional schooling does as much harm as good and manages mimimal education beyond about grade one. But that is influenced heavily by the schools I attended, and that was a long time ago. I can but hope that public schools have improved in that area (they could hardly have gotten any worse) and I know that some public schools were always much better than those I attended. There are plenty of reasons and opinions either way and I’m just glad that I don’t have kids or grandkids to worry about – and I can make my little contribution with coloring pages.
