Another indication that unschooling is growing… view the coverage of unschooling on Dr Phil. While Dr Phil himself is quite hostile to homeschooling and unschooling, he does allow sane and eloquent radical unschoolers to put forward their case, which is a rare thing on mainstream tv.
visit his site and read the transcripts for yourself. You can even vote about what form of education you think is best with unschooling as a separate category.
Maybe it’s me getting cynical as time goes by, but do any of us really give a toss what Dr. Phil thinks?
I certainly don’t.
The first time I ever heard about giving young children choices instead of orders (eg. “Which jacket do you want to wear when you go out today?” as opposed to “Put on your jacket”) was on Dr Phil years ago.
