Deschooling

DESCHOOLING 

Deschooling proposes an education alternative of homeschooling. However, deschooling does not mean to stop learning. In our country, Spain, Deschooling is not legal. It is a way of looking at children and at life so it is based on trust that parents and children will fin the paths. The methods of Deschooling are: playing, household responsabilities, personal interests and curiosity, travelling , books, elective classes, family, mentors and social integration.

The main authors are Ivan Illich and Paul Goodman. The first one, replace the school as a large knowledge bank by technological institutions in which every one would have a credit. However, Paul Goodman has some proposals: school not compulsory, class attendance should be free, school descentralization and create small school units.

To sum up, unschooling provides a unique opportunity to develop in a mature environment.

From my point of view, Deschooling it is a self-directed education but it is necessary to establish social relations in a school because it is important for the growing of a person.

My group expone that unit and we did a Kahoot for our partners.
