Life Without School is collecting stories on “Why we homeschool.”

By

Life Without School, LWOS, ( www.lifewithoutschool.typepad.com ) is collecting stories on “Why We Homeschool.” We would love to hear your stories about why you homeschool. How does homeschooling benefit your children, your family, you as a parent. We are interested in all stories that celebrate finding your own way with your child(ren) and that are personally real and non-judgmental in nature as possible.

The stories do not need to be of length; in fact, a paragraph will work best for this project. A collection of personal vignettes will be used to create a web page called Real Stories: Real Lives:

Send your story (short vignette) and name as you would like to see it in print(or specify anonymous) to:

editor-lwos@comcast.net

(questions welcomed)

  • Intrinsic Motivations for Learning
    “As homeschoolers we need to find ways to reach out to teachers and parents who don’t want to see childrens’ 12 years of compulsory schooling reduced to skills training for big business. Nurturing the human capacity to learn through love and intrinsic motivation is as important to life — to me, more important — as ‘learning for earning.’ Art, religion, music […]

It’s the same with unschooling. There’s a generally accepted definition, […]
