Have you heard of “unschooling schooling”?
Similar to home school but with more practical hands on sort of things, especially great for tactical learners.
My granddaughter is really struggling with traditional learning styles, she is very hands on.
There was a lessons on angles, they were supposed to draw angles. She was so upset she just didn’t get it.
Her step dad took her to the house they are flipping, showed her how to measure angles for cutting tile, she cut (with his help) the tile around the tub and the decorative tiles.
When she got home she ran into the house “grandma, did you know and started telling me all about angles and why they were important”.
Home school is going to be in her near future (even her teacher has said she should have this opportunity).
Anyway, its another option.
Put me on your list. Thanks.
Yes, I’ve heard of unschooling.
It goes beyond just using practical applications to teach.
There is a time and place for hands on teaching and it should be in addition to regular class work kind of teaching.
Some of the real adamant unschoolers eschew any bookwork altogether, which I disagree with. There’s a need to be able to discipline oneself with sitting down and doing work on paper. Real life requires it in all kinds of different situations.
