(Interestingly it was pronounced a dismal failure at the time: the kids were thrown into it with little safety net and no preparation. This time, there's an attempt to create more scaffolding, and these kids have had experience with more electives and more self-directed learning that the first experimental group did.) I wouldn't be surprised, though, if knowing that parents of four of the current high school students (mine and two others) are experienced unschoolers has made them more confident about the plan getting a positive reception. moominmammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561834420653149624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314881.post-85218197233739488022013-06-17T10:55:38.495-07:002013-06-17T10:55:38.495-07:00I wonder if your kids' educational paths/succe...I wonder if your kids' educational paths/successes have influenced the direction the bricks and mortar school is taking? <br /><br />DeborahDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583817568707511850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314881.post-10756075319015480212013-06-14T18:45:18.922-07:002013-06-14T18:45:18.922-07:00The high school there sounds like the perfect mode...The high school there sounds like the perfect model for our own school here in Faro.
