[…] Mně osobně se slovo unschooling líbí, protože velmi jasně říká, že škola není to, o co se tady snažíme. Odlišnější už to totiž být nemůže. Nicméně mám pocit, že když se lidé nad slovem unschooling poprvé zamyslí, nutně jim na mysl vytane nepřítomnost školy. To co NEděláme místo toho, co děláme. Jako by unschooling dětem ze života bral něco, co by tam za normálních okolností mělo být. […]

[…] I personally like the word unschooling because it very clearly says that school is not what we’re doing here people! It couldn’t be more different. However, I do think when people first consider it, the word UNschooling may tend to lead people to focus on the absence of school. On what we’re not doing, as opposed to what we are.

Great post. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that many parents begin to feel unqualified long before their children turn five. And no wonder. Here in the U.S., most children spend the majority of their time at daycare. I’ve heard so many parents say that their daycare providers are better at getting their baby to sleep, transitioning their baby to a bottle/cup/solid foods, potty training their child, and so on, that they leave these things to “the experts.” It’s only natural this process will continue with kindergarten at age five.
