The Unschooling Life

Learn Nothing Day


Listen Later

Several years ago Sandra Dodd started a “holiday for unschoolers” on July 24. This special day is called Learn Nothing Day.
Unschooling families live in a way such that learning can happen all day every day. Because of this, there are no school vacations and no days off from learning.  But now, unschoolers have their very own international holiday. The only problem is, Learn Nothing Day is usually a total failure.
Still - nobody can stop you from having a picnic and eating cupcakes. Even if your kids just won't quit learning.
Sandra Dodd used to be a public school teacher, then she became a mom, then she unschooled her three kids until they grew up and flew away.  She is now a professional "Guerilla I-Don't-Know-What,"volunteering a large portion of her time sharing inspiration, insight, wisdom and experience with other unschooling families.
Special thanks also go out to Alex, Hema, Kayla and Julie for sharing their thoughts and experiences with us today!
CALLING ALL UNSCHOOLERS! If you are an unschooler (or an unschooling wannabe) and you have questions to ask, or stories to tell, please send me an email with your suggestions, requests or offers. I look forward to hearing from you!
