The Words We Use: Living As If School Doesn't Exist
Wendy Priesnitz | Life Learning Magazine
"There are many words used in reference to education without school, including but not limited to 'homeschooling,' 'deschooling,' 'home-based learning,' 'home-based education,' 'self-directed learning,' 'child-led education,' 'autonomous learning,' 'natural learning,' 'autodidacticism,' 'free-range learning,' 'life learning,' and 'unschooling.' The generic term is 'homeschooling.' For the first decade or so of the modern homeschooling movement, that word worked fine, since the few thousand of us living that way shared a general understanding that we were experimenting with something that was as far away from the school model as possible. However, as the movement has grown, the number of approaches used by families has grown too. And now, the word 'homeschooling' has come to be identified with the parent-driven, school-at-home end of the spectrum. It no longer accurately describes a curiosity-based, learner-driven, self-managing style of education, which uses life and the world as its resources, and that doesn't look at all like school."

"If it would be wrong for the government to adopt an official religion, then, for the same reasons, it would be wrong for the government to adopt official education policies. The moral case for freedom of religion stands or falls with that for freedom of education. A society that champions freedom of religion but at the same time countenances state regulation of education has a great deal of explaining to do."
James R. Otteson, Freedom of Religion and Public Schooling |
