| Subject: Statist propaganda & indoctrination claims: Unschooling could leave OZschwitz children without numeracy or literacy skills Sat Dec 06, 2014 6:44 pm | |
| Parents could be inflicting "educational neglect" on their children by embracing a radical method of schooling where children decide what they learn and when, prompting concerns they may lackbasic literacy and numeracy skills.
A NSW Parliamentary inquiry into home schooling has urged the NSW Board of Studies to investigate unschooling amid claims some parents use the "pretence of unschooling" to shun education.
Unschooling is seen as a natural learning approach, where children are encouraged to follow their interests and parents give them freedom to learn.
But the upper house inquiry was highly critical of unschooling, doubting it could "achieve quality educational outcomes for the child".
