Hey Homeschool Families & Educators! Have you heard of the term Deschooling? Are you experiencing this phase in your homeschool journey?

It’s the shift from a traditional government-influenced institution of schooling to a less-restricted method of learning that focuses on being educated by one’s natural curiosities. -Ivan Illich

Deschooling is like the gray area between public school system practices and homeschooling practices. Like most of us, we have experienced public or private school and when it comes to transitioning to homeschool, our views are still attached to what we have been conditioned to view. We have to unlearn to relearn.
