We Could All Use A Little Deschooling

Anyone can unschool, but it requires a brand new mindset for most people.

Deschooling is an intense process, it’s not about “taking time off” school, it’s about analyzing the innumerable assumptions we carry with us from our past. Yes, school-based assumptions are the initial target, but the process has taken me further back, to a more authentic self than I have known since I was a child.

It’s not comfortable to let go of testing and age-based metrics, but it is so worth it as we live in a world that doesn’t care how well adults do on tests.
