Key Takeaways:
• Deschooling is an important and often misunderstood part of the homeschooling process. It is the process of transitioning from a traditional educational approach to a more relaxed mindset of learning.
• During deschooling, it is essential to take time to discover your own natural learning rhythms and explore your own interests.
• Deschooling is not a vacation or a break from academic work but a shift in mindset towards self-directed learning.
• Spending time at the library and reading books aloud as a family and individually is vital to deschooling.
• Watching educational UA-cam videos together can also be a valuable activity during the deschooling period.
• Deschooling is not the same as unschooling, a specific homeschooling method based on self-directed learning without a set curriculum.
• Deschooling is not only for the student but also for the parent, who may need to unlearn preconceived notions about education.
• The length of the deschooling period varies for each child and may not necessarily follow the "one month for every year in school" rule of thumb.
• Deschooling is worth the time it takes to understand the true meaning of education and help reprogram a child away from traditional school mindsets.
