Unschooling is a range of educational philosophies and practices centered on allowing children to learn through their natural life experiences, including play, game play, household responsibilities, work experience, and social interaction, rather than through a more traditional school curriculum. There are some who find it controversial. Unschooling encourages exploration of activities, often initiated by the children themselves, facilitated by the adults. Unschooling differs from conventional schooling principally in the thesis that standard curricula and conventional grading methods, as well as other features of traditional schooling, are counterproductive to the goal of maximizing the education of each child.

The Chinese love to hear western-educated idiots and teachers spout this crap. The Chinese will eat not only their lunch, but their breakfast and dinner, as well.

“Educators” who come up with this nonsense should not be allowed anywhere near a child, much less a school.
