There Is No Uncaring In Unschooling
"He'd fooled us. He'd been learning all along--we just hadn't been able to see it because it didn't follow from our "teaching." It came from doing, sharing, and observing, from osmotically absorbing what was around him. I recalled that he once said to Mark, who was giving him snowboard instruction, "Dad, would you stop trying to teach me and just let me learn?"

Been meaning to delurk and say "Hi", and here's my opportunity. My kids and I remember this beautiful picture from back when you first posted it, and are inspired this morning to give this craft a whirl on this rainy summer morning. Love the sense of movement in the picture!
