People can't get to a destination just by reading the map. They need to get on the trail themselves and start to travel. They can change their minds and not go all the way, but they can't get anywhere just by reading and asking questions.
Unschoolers need to start seeing these things work in their own families. There's more to know, and more to think about, and people who will help with ideas and links, but nobody can "teach" another person how to unschool. They can help the other person start to figure it out, though.

I changed the first line of this writing, May 25, 2019.
ReplyDeleteIt used to begin, "People can't read the map until they get to the destination."
Now it says: "People can't get to a destination just by reading the map."
I left a note at the original post on facebook, too, because that's the way I am. I don't want to misquote myself. :-)
