In an Atmosphere of Learning, Questions are Constant

August 21, 2006 @ 10:47 am | Filed under: Joy of Learning Quote of the Day

"I’m an unschooler. Lessons are never over. On the other hand, lessons
never really begin. Children’s question are answered and an atmosphere
of learning is created so that questions are constant and answers are
never far away. "

In 2006, a year after I began this blog, I coined the term Tidal Homeschooling to describe my family’s homeschooling style, an ebb and flow of
high tide (planned, Charlotte Mason-ish) and low tide (unschoolish, delight directed) learning. You’ll sometimes see me call it Tidal Learning. Seventeen years later (and counting), the metaphor still works. At the time of this writing (January 2023), I’m enjoying tidal homeschooling with Huck and Rilla, my two youngest, now in their teens.

If you’d like to read more about tidal homeschooling, there are a bunch of posts at this link.
