While I began my research into homeschooling and unschooling because of Connor, I have found it very liberating for myself. Validation of the idea that I don't have to enter an institution in order to get an education; that I only need my brain and a library and the world outside. That a craving for knowledge is my natural state and not some freakish final stage of tv deprivation. The idea that the phobic dependence on experts and professionals that surrounds me, and chills my own innards, is not sprung from a wise and natural caution, but a lengthy schooling in incompetence and apathy. I am in love!
