Okay, I'll admit it...when I first heard about homeschooling I thought "those" people where a bunch of weirdos. "Those" fanatically religious" people who kept their children in the basement and made them listen to Mozart all day long!
Well, now I'm one of those people but not one of "those" type of homeschooling people, LOL!!
Anyway...
Before beginning school this morning, I was watching GMA. Much to my surprise, they were about to do a story on "unschooling".
Unschooling, hhmmm, unusual concept.
Around here we try to do hands on stuff, read and textbooks.
Unschooling requires no books, no rules, apparently it requires nothing...

It's not really the whole unschooling thing that bothers me, those parents can teach or unteach they way they want.
What blew me away was the statement that one mother made:
"It's amazing when you broaden the scope of what you see as learning as opposed to worksheets," the mother said. "There is no hierarchy in our house, so there is no punishment, no judgment, no discipline. They get what they want for breakfast and eat whatever they want. It's all a matter of what feels right to them."
What has happened to us? When did we completely lose our minds? No hierarchy, punishment, judgment or discipline...God help us all.
