Mx. T. Goethe (Open to Work) @InspectorNerd ... I know as a literacy tutor this is gonna piss me off but I gotta ask anyway... W-- is "radical unschooling" and what do you mean your 19 yo is illiterate????? Ashley Fitzgerald @RizomaSchool • Mar 14 I got into radical unschooling when my eldest was a baby but as she got older I found it lacking. This scenario is a parent's worst nightmare! : Radical Unschooling 1h 8 . How do others handle feeling like a complete failure? My 19 year old can only do very basic math, and cannot spell or write and argues about everything. The 12 year old argues about everything also. I am so burned out in doing absolutely everything with zero help. How does everyone else make this work? D15 21 comments 5:10 AM Mar 16, 2024 4M Views •

GETA PIECE THE RI CHARLIE CAN'T READ. HE'LL ADAPT. GET A PIECE OF одли HE'LL ADAPT TO READING? imgflip.com

Learning to read: My oldest is 7.5 yr old in "second grade" and has always been "unschooled" She wanted to learn to read. I bought the good and beautiful literature curriculum. The kinder prep and then kinder curriculum. Plus bob books, letter flip cards, wooden letters etc. The curriculum comes with videos which we love so far. (Before this we did the usual closed captions on, playing games, video games, teach your monster to read app, and abc mouse) It's not going great tho. I'm getting frustrated, i don't know why. And she is getting frustrated. And now our joy of learning is not there for this topic. The prep course is a lot of like vowels and two letter sound blending. But i get why this is hard to learn because it isn't practical. Because it isn't even words yet. I'm thinking because she is older i need to maybe move on to harder. But at the same time "they" keep stressing, they need to know the sounds all letters make and how to blend before moving on. Blah. It's been challenging in society because 1. Her acting class for her age group she is the only one who can't read. 2. In our homeschool coop she is the only one who can't read in her age group. 3. At girlscouts they are all her age and can read and write and she can't. (I have feelings about this on my end like I'm doing her a disservice, so looking for support on this from my community please ) When i talk to her about it she is fine with it she advocates for herself and says i can't read yet please help me, and they do. And i keep telling myself, it's normal for homeschool kids to be behind in this. That's my mantra. She can't excell at all subjects at once and she certainly is advanced in other aspects. So for those who have older kids who have been unschooled by you and can read and write. How did this go in your household? How did they learn? What was your journey. Can you please share. 9 いいね! コメントする送信

920 × Unschooling This unschooling parent is failing their child on multiple levels. oc submitted 6 years ago by Cool Mod mynameisethan182 98 comments share save hide report crosspost hide all child comments April 2 at 1:07pm Question: We are looking into signing our oldest son up for Cub Scouts (he's 7), but I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with this?? My main concern is, as an unschooler, my son is probably not at the same reading level as someone his age in public school. I keep getting bombarded by family that he's "behind" or is getting behind. I'm just worried that he might get made fun of if he doesn't read well. I read in other groups that their unschoolers sometimes didn't start reading until 9 or 10 years old. How can I make sure this won't be a problem with a group like Cub Scouts? Or are there any other groups I could sign him up for that I wouldn't have to worry about ridicule?? We were also considering 4H... Thank you!!! Like Comment (i.redd.it)

304 I am a 24 year old who was unschooled since the 4th grade. AMA submitted 13 years ago * (last edited 13 years ago) by unschooler I was lucky to live in Portland, which had (and still has) a great home-school community. My parents gave me the choice after third grade of staying in school or unschooling. I chose to unschool. It was not religiously motivated in any way, though I did meet other home schoolers for whom it likely was. I did fine in elementary school, but hated all the homework (busy work). My mom was great at finding other communities of home-schoolers to spend time with, and she helped me find resources when I wanted to learn something specific. Learned a lot of vocab through Magic the gathering and RPGs, taught myself to develop websites and program. Started community college at 18, transferred to Portland State, got a B.S. in math, and am now in California getting a Ph.D in statistics. For those completely unfamiliar with unschooling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unschooling EDIT: It's been fun, but I have a qualifying exam to study for. Thanks for all the great questions, and I'm sorry if I didn't get to yours. 631 comments source share save hide report crosspost hide all child comments

291 Criticism of Unschooling from a former student (self.unschool) submitted 2 years ago by mattnovum So, I just want to share my thoughts here for those interested is unschooling. Please be aware that it can be a very poor experience, and I would caution anyone against pursuing it. I am 35 now, and still continue to struggle with social interactions and making friends, even though I know all of the "what about socialization?" rebuttals which don't actually happen in practice. Yes, public schools are flawed, but unschooling is not the answer. I was unschooled from 2nd grade until graduation, and my mom was a very prominent figure in the unschooling world so I knew many other families and can say these experiences were not just my own. I want to warn anyone who is considering this practice: Most adults don't have ideas of what to learn or what they want to do, let alone children; expecting children to direct their own education this way is idealistic at best, neglectful at worst. I can't tell you how many times I was berated and yelled at for "not having enough interests" and being blamed for my lack of an education. I was depressed, isolated, and most of all I blamed myself for the failure of an un-thought-out system. And when it came to socializing, it was the same: I was blamed for being friendless, i was told I was failing at unschooling and needed to try harder, and I had nowhere to turn to for support: other unschooling families just fed me the same unwavering dogma of "you're free to do what you want, stop complaining and figure it out" or "how DARE you say you have no friends or social life, I'll get you all this literature some other mom wrote about how socialization is not a problem in unschooling, that'll set you right." On the other hand, it was highly discouraged to associate with any "public schoolers" because of their dangerous ideas. Unschooling puts the blame on the child, and allows neglectful parents to flourish. If you're uneducated, it's your fault, since you (as an uneducated child) are in charge of your education. Some (most) parents, mine included, use unschooling as a way to let their children run free and absolve themselves of any guilt for developmental delays, since the child is in charge. (Oh he can't read? That's okay, he'll learn it when he feels like it...)
