Deschooling - Why And How
Deschooling is a term invented by Austrian philosopher Ivan Illich. It is mainly used by homeschoolers to refer to the adjustment that children and parents go through when they leave the school system in order to start homeschooling.
It is allowing children a time to decompress and disconnect from school and the school setting. It is important to allow time to process the change.
There is really no right or wrong way to deschool.
Here are some deschooling ideas:
Play games together
Do art and crafts (finger knitting, crochet, learn an art technique)
Do sports together
Have unstructured play (get out the Lego etc)
Ride bikes and scooters
Explore parks and hiking trails
Bake and cook together
Let them be bored!
