The Un is a stumbling block. It’s a negative. I struggle with the term “unschool.” It’s why I prefer Learning Lifestyle, a more proactive-sounding approach that empowers the learner in a positive direction.
But The Un has a lot of use. We have patterns that may not be healthy and need to be undone. We have to unlearn reactions drawn from trauma. Unschool is neccessary in a society or family that has absorbed the assumptions of school. Clocking in, clocking out, assigned work, entrenched authority hierarchies, and a division between learning and fun are unnatural barriers we’ve placed on ourselves.
The Un can release those patterns to live a life immersed in learning what serves us and unlearning what blinds and binds us.
