RE: Unschooling Blog, Vol. 36 - FLEA MARKET TIME! Learning about money is easy. You don’t need to “do a unit” on it, or go to school.
I like the term "unschooling," which I'd never heard before.
Have you considered home schooling your son? Is that even possible in Japan? It seems like the powers-that-be might be very averse to it.
Then again, you could just inform the authorities that your son is in "permanent juku / cram school." The Japanese would love that!
It’s a challenge, and legally tough, but in many respects it seems like it’s almost going to be a easier than in the states, due to some loopholes.
Yeah, unschooling is homeschooling minus a rigid curriculum. The child simply follows his or her interests.
Haha. They would love that!
I've seen some great results of home schooling. Even my sister's kids, who were kept out of the school system owing to her and her husband's very conservative religious beliefs, turned out to be quite thoughtful, mature, independent and very creative young adults.
Hope for similarly great results for your son (kids?) too. Best of luck.
