It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry: for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wrack and ruin without fail. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty. –Albert Einstein

Thank you for sharing this article. I'm glad that I stumbled upon your blog and I'm looking forward to catching up on posts and reading those of the future.
Unfortunately, I have gone through the public education system and through undergraduate coursework at a city university. Through all those years, the most memorable learning experiences I've had were not imposed by a "giver of knowledge" standing before a blackboard. I agree with the author, Kate, when she says her parents "believed that kids are naturally smart, and will naturally learn the things people need to learn to get by."
I don't have children, but when I do, I look forward to homeschool—rather, unschooling—them. I look forward to learning more from your blog before that time comes.
