I have mixed feelings (about Dr. Phil show)
because although I was proud to represent
Unschoolers, the way they put together the
video footage.. |

I probably should have done my homework, but
could you just talk briefly about what
unschooling is? |
|
21:10:38 |
Dayna Martin |
Unschooling has many definitions.. |
|
21:10:53 |
bennersmom |
simple is good! |
|
21:10:53 |
Dayna Martin |
Child-led learning....passion-driven
learning... |
|
21:11:07 |
Dayna Martin |
Natural, organic learning |
|
21:11:13 |
Dayna Martin |
Free-range learning.... |
|
21:11:16 |
Dayna Martin |
I could go on :) |
|
21:11:21 |
bennersmom |
Does this take place at home? |
|
21:11:44 |
Dayna Martin |
Well, it is using the world as your child's
classroom, instead of your kitchen table |
|
21:11:55 |
bennersmom |
But parent as teacher? |

world and dont need to be actually taught |
|
21:15:39 |
my2boys00-03 |
what is the differance in pt and dressing as
this? |
|
21:16:00 |
my2boys00-03 |
you need to be taught to learn with
everything in this life you arent born
knowing everything |
|
21:16:12 |
Dayna Martin |
It is a belief in HOW children learn best |
|
21:16:32 |
Dayna Martin |
You didn't have to be taught how to walk and
talk |
|
21:16:34 |
my2boys00-03 |
ok but if you dont teach them how do they
learn to add subtract |

unschooling but am afraid of failing /
changing my mind when they are older (have a
4 year old and 8 mos old) |
