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?"

Bertrand Russell - what a powerful, exciting mind. Have not read a word of his since high school. He must have been conservative or I would not have met him on our shelves. Thx for your good mind keeping us awake!!
