Coffee With Carrie: Homeschool Podcast
Don't Do School At Home: Deschooling, Unschooling, & Nonschooling
Show Notes
  • What is deschooling, when is it needed, and who should do it?  
  • What is really at the heart of unschooling and by definition, isn't anyone who homeschools  an "unschooler"?
  • What exactly is nonschooling?  Simply put, it is not  doing school at home.  

Nonschooling is living out Mark Twain's description of  education:  "Never let schooling get in the way of your education."  Don't let the terms deschooling, unschooling, nonschooling and even sabbath schooling scare you.  Even if you have been homeschooling for years, it might be time for some deschooling.  If you and/or your child are burnt out and stressed out, it might be a good time to unschool for a season.  Whether you are a classical home educator, Charlotte Mason purist, or anything in between, it is always best to NON School. 

In this episode, Carrie shares the importance of not doing school at home and the benefits and blessing of not modeling your homeschooling after the traditional classroom.  If you are new to homeschooling, this week's episode is a must listen!  Even the most seasoned homeschooling mom should listen to this week's episode.  Every season of homeschooling comes with its own set of challenges.   There are many little nuggets of truth for you to apply.  Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up, and join Carrie for a little coffee break.
