It makes so much sense!

The book "Free to Learn" by Peter Gray is what completely convinced me that the unschooling model is evolutionarily, culturally, sociologically, and developmentally sound. Traditional schools as we know them have only really existed for the past 170ish years. Before that time, how on earth did children learn anything at all??? Well, they learned naturally, driven by the innate desire to master more and more challenging life situations.

For more fascinating information and real world examples, read Peter Gray's book! Then you'll understand my choice of image below (by the way, San children learn ALL they need to know to thrive in the desert, WITHOUT ever going to school or being told what to learn!).
