Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be rather a sort of amusement; this will better enable you to find out the natural bent of the child. |

A Paradigm Shift |
|
Mike Woods |
|
Abandoning the institution of school and taking a natural learning approach is really a paradigm shift.
Most people will not understand that natural learning does not involve children following a curriculum, taking exams, being socialised (through peers), using textbooks, etc. At best they will think that you are a bit daring, slightly unusual, experimenters.... at worst they will think that you are dangerous, putting your kids at risk or should be reported....
How can you show them that natural learning is OK?
