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?"

WOW - THAT is amazing. How long have they been at it?
They started September 10th when I suggested they use the internet to teach each other. They asked how and I said, "I don't know." And this is what they've done so far - what they could remember with the pressure of the camera on them. The whole experiment has been really cool. And, I still have no idea how they have done it. I've stayed COMPLETELY out of it.
