This is my online journal/commonplace book. I use to post things that interest me or things that I want to keep track of and go back read at another time. I am an "Infojunkie" (as my mother loving dubbed me), and this blog allows me to have an outlet for my infojunkie ways. :o)

Unschooling or Autodidacticism???
I just finished reading this blog entry -- http://journeytoself-sufficiency.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-unschooling-means-to-me.html -- this sounds a lot like how we do things in our home. Funny thing is when I first started our home education journey back in 2005 I thought unschoolers were crazy and now I think I might fit the label (the unschooling part and the crazy part... LOL!) I just have to say that I do not like using the word school for what we do. A school is a place with teachers, classrooms and large groups of children. We do not do that. We learn, we are self-educated (isn't the word for that autodidacticism? Yep --> Autodidacticism (also autodidactism) is self-education or self-directed learning. An autodidact is a mostly self-taught person, as opposed to learning in a school setting or from a full-time tutor or mentor.)
