Unschooling With Taylor's "Leaf & Learn"

Learning isn’t something that has to be handed to you by someone certified by the government. 

That’s not how it works.
If you:

✔️went to school
✔️then college
✔️then got a 9-5 job

—and feel like you’ve checked all those boxes & you’re done learning new skills…

then yeah, I can see how the idea of unschooling would seem super wild. 🤯

Unschooling only makes sense when you have an intimate relationship with learning. 

When you know how to teach yourself, how to practice a craft, how to fail, how to persevere.

This is why entrepreneurs are the most likely folks to unschool:

 because we already know how to carve our own way in the world. We know how to find success without following the main path.

We are open-minded enough to see multiple ways of doing things. 

I would never mock someone for choosing public school. 

But the amount of aggression and hate I’ve seen recently towards our decision to homeschool is SO telling….and if you’re someone who spends your free time scrolling on social media & attacking a family who is literally just minding their business…what does that say about the “education” you’re so proud of? 

Where are your hobbies & interests? 

Why is this how you’re spending your “well-educated” time?

Thanks for reading 😂🫶🏼

“Hyperactivity is an iatrogenic disease created by schools. 

Boys should play more than they do. WAY more.”

I had to look up what “iatrogenic” meant — 

it means “an illness caused by a treatment.”

I don’t know if I think schools are *causing* hyperactivity. 

I think it’s setting an unreasonable standard of INactivity, 

so that any level of unapproved activity is labeled abnormal.

If a child’s education revolves around activity — 

then who’s going to call them hyperactive? 

When it might just be….active?

What if kids were NOT TOLD

 to focus on reading/writing/math/worksheets? 🤯

It that stuff bores them to death, 

and all they wanna do is run around in the grass, 

climb trees, and play in the mud? 

Or play basketball? 

Or color and paint? 

Or focus on piano or guitar or dance?

What if we’re asking them to do this narrow set of things that grown-ups 

just decided are the things they’ve got to learn?

Math: make sure you can solve for (-x)

History: don’t forget the battle at Lexington and Concord!!

Writing: past participles, guys!

Science: noble gases, anyone?

Seriously? 

Am I the only one who thinks school is ridiculous? 

Did any of this stuff actually prepare you for the job you have now? 

Or would that time have been better spent learning to LOVE YOUR LIFE. 

To be kind, help others, actually socialize. 

Learning to choose a skill, commit to it, wrestle with it, & 

expand your consciousness as you discover who you are?

Instead of getting slammed with busywork.

How magical (and effective) could education 

ACTUALLY be — if we let it?

*FOR THE MOST PART* 

Learners don’t have problems. 

Schools have problems. 

We’re just too lazy or

too stupid to fix the schools. 

So we “fix” the kids instead.
