1. Unschooling (At a Home near You)
If you thought the concept of giving direct democracy to kids was a little mental, at least you have them in a formal classroom environment. The concept of unschooling takes that idea and kicks it out the window. Described by some as ‘relaxed homeschooling,’ unschooling further pushes the boundaries of independence and freedom.
Children are encouraged to play, to think for themselves and learn through their life experiences. They can learn what they want, when they want and through any medium they like. Unlike homeschooling where there is a curriculum prepared by the parents, unschooling gives the child free reign to do what they like.
Allowing a child to choose what they want to do in a non-structured environment or manner can be risky; self-motivation plays a huge part in how much the child does or doesn’t do. If left unchecked, learning even basic skills can be easily overlooked. But unschooling can also lead to the development of hidden talents; the winner of Season 8 of The Voice, Sawyer Fredericks, was unschooled and practiced his singing at farmers’ markets, community events and folk clubs.
