Going to start posting more about our HE journey :)
My daughter is 16 in June and has been HE since she was 13 due to an unsupportive school environment where her difficult menstrual cycles and social anxiety were punished.
Today, she watched a documentary about the Outback (Surviving the Outback) and practiced some piano scales before doing some work on her Music course with #openlearn which is an amazing resource for older home edders.
This evening she will help me cook dinner, and wants to watch another doc later about #Aboriginal history/culture as the previous doc peaked her interest. Not sure which yet so open to suggestions :)

"I come to SDE partly from that perspective but even more from the perspective of evolutionary biology. I see imposed education as not only morally wrong but ineffective because it ignores and overrides children’s biologically natural ways of educating themselves and, in many, develops a distaste for learning that can interfere with a child’s natural zest for life and the learning that comes with life."

"Proponents of SDE come to it from various perspectives. Many come from a perspective focusing on democratic values. Imposed education always involves a violation of what most democratic thinkers regard as basic human rights – the rights of self-determination, free assembly and free speech, among others. If children can become well educated without coercion, then it would seem to be immoral to subject them to coercive methods."

The Gift of Literacy by Veronica Smith
Daily writing prompt Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. View all responsesI had learning difficulties as a child. Back in 1960s Ireland, class sizes were large. If you could not keep up with the quick-to-learn kids, then you were more or less abandoned by the teachers. Such was my case. Instead of trying to help me, the teachers labelled me as “slow” and kept me back with the younger children – which did not help my self-confidence!
Then, around the age of ten, I became seriously ill. Staying at home to recover, my parents discovered that I could barely read or write or do arithmetic. They felt horrified that the school, which had eagerly taken their money, had not bothered to teach me anything!
It was my parents and my older siblings, who gave me the priceless gift of literacy, not the educational system. They took the time to teach me, being patient with my learning difficulties and encouraging me to want to learn, without being ridiculed.
In later years, I returned to study as a mature student. I got my degree with Open University in my late forties. As you can see, I love to write and to do research.
I have several friends, who have chosen to home-educate their children, instead of sending them to conventional schools. These children – now young adults! – are the best adjusted young people I have ever met! They are smart and self-confident and prove, yet again, that it is their families who have given them the amazing gift of literacy.
Once you can read, you can teach yourself anything!

Anyone who knows me well knows that child autonomy is extremely important to me.
Stumbled across this article while enjoying my morning coffee. This book, as well as Peter Gray's "Free to Learn" were instrumental in opening my own eyes to so much.
I rarely talk about this stuff on my general socials, but I felt the need to share. I'll also link to both "How Children Learn," As well as "Free to Learn," which as I said are excellent and must-read titles for anyone who follows youth rights or believes in unschooling, or simply wishes to learn how to be a better ally to children.

Good Sunday, #homeschool, #HomeEducation, #unschooling, & #SelfDirectedLearning families. Week 2 slow #HSchat is all about history and science curriculum. Tell us your favorite. What did you like most about it? How did your kids engage with it? OR, flip the questions and tell us about your least favorite curriculum & why you feel like you wasted $$ on it.
Remember: Use the hashtag #HSchat in replies & check back throughout the week for replies so you can keep the convo going.

Hey #HomeEducation, #unschooling, and #SelfDirectedLearning #SDL families: Today’s a good day to start that slow chat we talked about before the new year - where we pose a question and folks take time to repsond to the thread throughout the coming days? The goal is to create a supportive community for those who chose to educate their kids at home.
Wk 1 #HSchat: Briefly intro yourself & describe your #homeschool philosophy. What's the most challenging part of educating your own kids?

Doing the #duxford thing today. A nice way to do #notbacktoschool. #homeeducation

@lovelybookshelf You bring up an impt point about accurately reporting #homeschool enrollment statistics: What actually constitutes #HomeEducation?
If a child is subject to attendance requirements - state testing (not chosen by the parent) - is eligible to receive #SpEd and #IEP services - has access to sports and after-school programming BUT all their instruction happens at home through online instruction, that child is generally not considered a homeschooler.

This is the last paragraph of the last chapter of the book "A Field Guide to the Familiar: Learning to Observe the Natural World" by Gale Lawrence. The book is divided up into seasons; each chapter covers something that you might observe around you in that season.
I thought this was a nice way to end the book. We're starting back at the beginning next week.
