Why Unschooling is Great for Teenagers

... and why teenagers are great for our evolution.

David Suzuki has done it again! Although this fabulous episode of the Nature of Things never mentioned unschooling, it doesn't take much of a leap to get from the concepts in this documentary to the obvious conclusion that giving teens ample room to explore their passions (with a loving family to support and rescue them!) is a very very good thing both for the teens, as well as for humanity's evolution.

  1. Great show. Thanks for sharing. David Suzuki is really an honorary unschooler, don't you think?

  2. Yes I agree! He's definitely one of the few people I can say I'm a fan of. I really enjoy your blog, by the way. Thank you, Jane!
