Unschooling Journal

There is a site here now! Finally… For now this is the layout, but it won’t last. Working with an awesome designer friend of mine to come up with something more my speed.

Below are some of the articles I’ve written on education/unschooling and starting now I’ll be adding regular updates from unschooling/homeschooling in the news to updates from blogging unschoolers to book reviews, etc, etc. My recommendation? Grab the RSS Feed, follow us on Twitter, and then you never have to visit us again, cause we’ll come to you!

The concept for this site is still forming in my mind, but generally it will serve to house lots of resources for unschoolers, and those searching for an alternative to compulsory education, as well as lots of stories about what other unschoolers are cooking up and throwing down.

I think it’s important to point out that I am not an educator nor a parent. The former was a previous ambition that I turned down once I realized just what “education” is. The latter is something I hope to be someday, but not without first putting a lot of work into knowing how it’s done. I have a real job that isn’t nearly as cool as reading and writing about unschooling, but more than anything I like to think of myself as a philosopher, and a supporter of freedom. It is those things that lead me to unschooling after years of searching for the antidote to compulsory education, and this site is just as much about helping me learn more as it is about me sharing that knowledge with others.
