Wild Wednesday ...on Unschooling

(my nephew)

Wild Wednesday is a time to share adventures, activities, and exploration.
Today's Wild Wednesday is the exploration of life and learning through the idea of 'Unschooling'. This might be a random topic for some, but I have family and friends who have been 'home schooled' and/or are 'home schooling' their children. Most of us should be able to relate to being 'schooled' in one fashion or another. This post is actually about 'un-schooling' though, and I'm quite intrigued by the idea.

Sara over at Walk Slowly Live Wildly is unschooling her children and blogged about it recently. If you have children, want children, are a teacher, etc... you should check it out. I watched the hour long video she included, and I have to say, it is worth your time. Listen to it while you make dinner or something if you don't have an hour to sit still.

Some day I hope to have little ones and I'm drawn to this new (to me) concept.
