Le mouvement "unschooling"

Je viens de découvrir un mouvement éducatif: the "unschooling"
Il prône une éducation libre sans école... 

J'ai découvert ce mouvement dans un blog qui présentait une suite de citations sur les dangers de l'école sur l'éducation des enfants. Un point de vue extrême, néanmoins certaines citations peuvent surprendre, car on ne peut qu'adhérer à certaines affirmations.

J'en ai choisies quelques unes, vous pouvez voir les autres sur ce Blog:

"Nothing enrages me more than when people criticize my criticism of school by telling me that schools are not just places to learn maths and spelling, they are places where children learn a vaguely defined thing called socialization. I know. I think schools generally do an effective and terribly damaging job of teaching children to be infantile, dependent, intellectually dishonest, passive and disrespectful to their own developmental capacities." Seymour Papert 


"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education."Albert Einstein 

"Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know."G K Chesterton 

"the whole educational and professional training system is a very elaborate filter, which just weeds out people who are too independent, and who think for themselves, and who don't know how to be submissive, and so on -- because they're dysfunctional to the institutions."- Noam Chomsky
