Unschooling School

Resolution to create an alternative to school, within school.

WHEREAS:

• It is recognized that self-directed play is a child’s natural way of learning; and
• Kids need ample free and wild time outside to play and exploring nature; and
• Research shows that kids naturally want to learn and can take responsibility for their own learning;
• Families have the right to designate their kids as Free Learners: a person who has the right to choose what, how, and when to participate in learning that interests them and opt-out of boredom; 
• It is understood that the system will change only when citizens join together to create Free Learner communities within schools. 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:

• It is the responsibility of the Public Education System to align with the current research and familial philosophies on learning
• It is the responsibility of the Public Education System to support students who designate themselves as a Free Learner (FL).
• It is the responsibility of parents, kids, and community to commit to transforming our Public Education System into a place where kids take responsibility for their learning and are allowed to make decisions about how they spend their time. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that UnschoolingSchool.com shall promote the structure and adherence of these responsibilities in collaboration with parents, students, and educators.

​Sign the Resolution 
Join our network of kids, parents, enlightened educators, and community allies to insist that the public education system accommodates self-directed Free Learners and moves to a democratic model.
