If you have a chance to learn by yourself, what might you do? Perhaps you choose to practise football skills; you would prefer to discuss something with someone together; and you might just read. This is the most important thing of "unschooling". It is also known as "natural learning" or "independent learning".
Know More
Schooling is education that children receive at school. Home schooling is the kind of education that children learn at home with a parent or a tutor. Unschooling is an educational practice that allows children to decide how, what and where they want to learn.
For this kind of educational practice, people think differently. Here are their comments (评论).
Agree
Independent learning teaches children to be responsible for themselves. With no teacher around, children must manage themselves, and this is a really important skill for later life.
Unschooling allows children to learn what they are really interested in. If learning is enjoyable, it's more successful.
Very young children learn in a natural way. Without being taught, they know colours and voices, and they learn smiling and walking. Why shouldn't people continue to learn like this?
Unschooling gives children more time for sports, volunteering and museum or park visits. They may meet different people who share their interests.
Disagree
Unschooling requires parents' support and attention. They need to create a learning space that excites children and remind them of their daily routines.
Teachers can push children to learn what they don't enjoy but can be important later in life.
Unschooling sounds too good to be true. It can be helpful when children are very young. But it puts too much pressure on children because they can learn difficult subjects easily only with teachers' help.
Unschooling happens at home, so children could have less contact with others at their age. This means they could end up becoming shy.
When deciding how you are going to learn, it's necessary to think about which works. Choose what is suitable for you and what can have a positive influence on your growth.
