Christian Unschooling

I've just finished this book today...

"teaching is not a matter of me taking what I know and forcing it into children.  The best way to learn is not for the children to remain passive while I teach.  The author of Wisdom's Way of Learning says this causes the child to "lose interest in real learning and develop an appetite for all kinds of passive, entertaining media...true education will occur as the student procures the knowledge for himself."

Aaron and I are natural teachers and unschooling comes naturally.  But I wonder if I should take it farther every time I hit restrictions from the school.  "Your child can only take one book from the library, you have to take these level of books, you 'guess and go' spell."

They don't hate school, but there are parts that seem a waste of time.  Still, while they are getting babysat and practicing school, I have time to pursue my education that I missed out on while attending public school. Ha ha!
