#21 Unschooling – A Summary
<p>Concern regarding schools in the media usually has nothing or little to do with academics but something to do with it being a bad environment for students and teachers. There are two thoughts that should spring from that observation.</p> <p>The first is why are people so concerned about “socialization” issues when it comes to the home educated? Do they know that they are saying every child should be exposed to a self-esteem destroying, violent social environment? Do children really need to be subject to abuse, bullying and jungle warfare to develop normally?</p> <p><span id="more-3872"></span></p> <p>The second observation is that curricular concerns are rarely mentioned outside of the push to normalize deviant beliefs and behaviours. Perplexingly, no one has connected the deviance to the violence now found in many schools.</p> <p>One of the main reasons parents choose to home educate or unschool is their concern about their children’s exposure to bad social issues at school. However, most do not tie the bad social behaviours to the bad ideologies being advanced to normalize what God has not sanctioned. In fact, we are now judging the authenticity of the Bible against our desire to do as we wish. Should any part of the Bible condemn our deviant behaviour, it is deemed as hate speech, soon to be banned from the public square. God help us as we slide down that dark path to perdition.</p> <p>Also understand that a standardized program does not meet the individual needs of each child, nor does it take gifting into consideration. As a consequence, school is more likely to homogenize students to the lowest common denominator of mediocrity. Unschoolers encourage children to be the best they can be in keeping with the innate gifts and talents bestowed upon them by God.</p> <p>The important question then becomes: how dedicated are we to ensuring children receive a good education based on the supremacy of God rather than the claimed authority of man? We need to understand unschooling for what it is: Taking control of the education of our children, moving them away from a Godless system – including Christianized versions of a secular system, and restoring them to the family to which they were born. Let us be “homing” our children as directed by our Creator and let us avoid the “unhoming” tendencies of schools.</p> <p>Unschooling or “homing” is what we do here at Education Unlimited. In fact, it is our very heartbeat. Have a good summer.</p>

#20 Unschooling – Unschooling or Unhoming?
<p><iframe title="#20 Unschooling - Unschooling or Unhoming? by Léo Gaumont" width="525" height="295" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KnLAkL7KXIA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>Now that we have reviewed what unschooling is and isn’t, I would like to challenge you to think in a different way.</p> <p>Tell me what to do! This is what we have been trained to ask. We naturally avoid taking risks so it is easy to default to having someone or something direct our thinking and actions. The big question is: what is all this based on? What worldview premise are we establishing our thoughts and actions on? There really are only two options available as far as the Bible goes: We are either for Him or against Him. This is not to say people are cognizant of this choice, but in the end, either things are based on faith in God, complete with all that brings, or we find ourselves on the other side of street, whether we have made a conscience effort to be there or not. In fact, I would be willing to bet that most people have no idea they are on the wrong side, including professing Christians.</p> <p><span id="more-3869"></span></p> <p>To understand what this wrong side of the street is, let us consider a few self-evident truths. Only a mom and dad can create children. The environment in which they are to be raised is called family. Family has been around infinitely longer than compulsory schools. So what should be considered normal, a family at home or students in school?</p> <p>Having said that, should we not be considering that it is school that is undoing the home God created as the safe and caring environment in which to raise, train, teach and educate children? Families in homes were here first. When considering the directive of Mathew 19:5-6 where we are told not to separate families, it makes sense to see compulsory government schooling as “unhoming.” Instead we refer to escaping the secular school system, whether public, separate, charter, alternative, private or home schooling as “unschooling”. Does it not make more sense to see relatively new “schooling” as an affront to age old “homing”?</p> <p>Hopefully you see what I mean. If family is foundational, should we be unschooling or should we simply consider ourselves to be homing? The term unschooling actually establishes school as foundational, normal, even authoritative. Unschoolers inadvertently agree with government having an authority in education and we have determined to rebel by not doing as expected, hence the term unschooling. We determine to “un” what is in fact an imposition over what God has directed.</p> <p>Why should unschoolers be the weird ones? Should families at home not be the standard? If so, we should see ourselves as rightfully homing our children and schools as engaging in “unhoming.” Just a thought.</p> <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-3869-1" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="https://www.educationunlimited.ca/insights/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/20-Unschooling-or-Unhoming.mp3?_=1" /><a href="https://www.educationunlimited.ca/insights/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/20-Unschooling-or-Unhoming.mp3">https://www.educationunlimited.ca/insights/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/20-Unschooling-or-Unhoming.mp3</a></audio>

#19 Unschooling – Sending Them Off
<p><iframe title="#19 Unschooling - Sending Them Off by Léo Gaumont" width="525" height="295" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mgcIi9Bt-3c?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>Life can and does throw us lots of curve balls to tempt us off the straight and narrow. One of the big temptations is doubt, and it is the reason why the fourth set of fears and concerns descends upon us. We mastered the first set at the beginning, got past the fears and concerns set at puberty and finally made peace with our post-secondary issues. Then it happens, especially with the first or “experimental” child.</p> <p><span id="more-3856"></span></p> <p>Having proven your love beyond what the world expects; having trained and taught them; unschooled them through all the stages of youth and growth; successfully brought them to their post-secondary options, convinced that they are fully and rightfully prepared to tackle obstacles in their way; and seen them mature to be faithful and responsible citizens of this world and God’s Kingdom, they show their appreciation for all that you have done and leave home, eventually for good.</p> <p>Then panic sets in! You will start to question if you have done a good job. Did you properly prepare? Did you fail at something? Did you handicap somehow? This doubt is most likely to occur with the firstborn and you will likely be much more confident with the younger siblings. After all, you were likely stricter and more “schooly” with the first child and increasingly more comfortable with unschooling with the next. This is natural. It happens within every loving family.</p> <p>Know this: You have done the best you could. You chose unschooling and that was the best choice. Guaranteed you did not do a perfect job, but know that it was much better than what would have transpired in school. Rest easy with the knowledge that since you’ve been successful with your first child, you will also be with the rest. Keep in mind that each unschooling program will take on a character befitting each child.</p> <p>Now that you have experienced the fourth set of fears and concerns, you are not likely to have to go through them again. Unschooling is no longer mysterious. Go forth with the rest of the children with confidence!</p> <p>You made it! Congratulations!</p> <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-3856-1" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="https://www.educationunlimited.ca/insights/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/19-Sending-Them-Off.mp3?_=1" /><a href="https://www.educationunlimited.ca/insights/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/19-Sending-Them-Off.mp3">https://www.educationunlimited.ca/insights/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/19-Sending-Them-Off.mp3</a></audio>
