We watched this fun movie last night. The title is Accepted. It's based totally in the free-schooling (formerly referred to as un-schooling, but for me a more specific and appropriate) philosophy, always coming at learning in a completely unorthodox way. But then again, that is what free-schooling is all about. There were some subtle as well as very direct messages that speak to what isn't working with the education system we've got now, which this movie addressed in a very funny and bold way. And of course the underdog wins out in the end, enlightening the so-called experts to a new way of viewing education. Plus all the student who weren't form-fitted for regular collage, found that their way of learning was not only perfect for them, but could help others as well. We all have something to teach...

I love watching the show, playing roles like mom and chauffeur and friend and confidant … Cole’s good friend Quinn, from
Quinn has been full of questions about the life of the ‘unschooler’. Its been fun to share with him. Here's a yummy, useful quote in describing the unschooler,that I loved: “Unschooler: one who learns from life and love and great books and late morning conversations and big projects and eccentric uncles and mountains and mistakes and volunteering and starry nights - not from dull textbooks and sedative lectures and interfering homework."
It has been fun to observe this young man ‘observing us. life is so much fun, yes?
