Love the minimally invasive learning article. I soooo agree with it. We unschooled (our version) last year and the results were amazing. I gave a little instruction on a couple of subjects and then provided ideas, materials and lots of time. The girls learned, bloomed, matured and this year all the things they struggled with when I was trying to "teach" them last year and then backed off from were the areas they grew in the most. I just needed to let them learn it their way, in their time and WOW! is all I have to say.
Oh, I so agree with Pam in Colorado.......I backed off & did a whole year of Unschooling one year & it was awesome! It's the ONE year out of our HSing career that I really remember particulars about. I still continue to 'Unschool' in my own way even now. They learn SO much ALL the time if you just let them!!!!!!
And I just wanted to add....(not bragging, I give God all the glory)....but just to say that it DOES work.....after all my years of HSing/Unschooling I have one son who survived & is in his second year at Liberty University...made the Dean's list last semester & has applied to the Honor's Program. So, kudos to all us HS moms!
