Quotes about unschooling:
"There is no difference between living and learning... it is impossible and misleading and harmful to think of them as being separate.” ~ John Holt
“When you teach a child something you take away forever his chance of discovering it for himself.” ~ Jean Piaget
"Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child's nature." ~ Charlotte Mason
“Children do not need to be made to learn about the world, or shown how. They want to, and they know how.” ~ John Holt
“Just as eating against one’s will is injurious to health, so studying without a liking for it spoils the memory, and it retains nothing it takes in.” ~ Leonardo da Vinci
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” ~ Pablo Picasso
“It is as true now as it was then that no matter what tests show, very little of what is taught in school is learned, very little of what is learned is remembered, and very little of what is remembered is used. The things we learn, remember, and use are the things we seek out or meet in the daily, serious, nonschool parts of our lives.” ~ John Holt
“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.” ~ Rachel Carson
"The pupil is ... 'schooled' to confuse teaching with learning, grade advancement with education, a diploma with competence, and fluency with the ability to say something new." ~ Ivan Illich
"Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners." ~ John Holt
