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?"

I posted this on FB the other day; makes my heart so sad.
Why, since I have mine at home, does this leave me weeping? Because she obeys, and I want to hug her and say, No! You are good. Trust yourself. And because they speak to me this way too, and I want to hug myself and say the same thing.
Oh CC, there is no way to say it better than that. Thank you.
