However, I have doubts that these approaches can successfully be used in the situations you describe, relying as they do on the child still having their natural love of learning largely undamaged and a reasonable level of trust in their parents. Both of these can of course be severely damaged by schools, though not invariably in my experience of friends and their children. I have known families to de-register children from schools and autonomously educate successfully. However, I've also know others who have failed. All families are different and different approaches suit different families. And some children are probably too damaged by school to follow and home-ed approach successfully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-31168386198803613022011-05-14T08:37:17.202-07:002011-05-14T08:37:17.202-07:00"I am far from convinced though that the reme..."I am far from convinced though that the remedy lies in 'deschooling' followed by 'unschooling' or anything of that sort. These are of course perfectly natural responses by hurt and upset parents who were hoping to be able to reclaim the role of being their child's teacher and guide, but we need to examine the root cause of the problem and ask ourselves why our children are behaving in this way."<br /><br />Is unschooling different to autonomous education? I assume it is, or else how would you explain people who autonomously educate from the beginning?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-39689963316808958792011-05-14T06:54:29.337-07:002011-05-14T06:54:29.337-07:00That's a very perceptive post.
