Unschooling Reversal

Elazar just dragged me to the computer and we spent almost an hour editing his story.  I so didn't want to do it.  I had a long day.  I didn't want to do "homework."  I wanted to cry and kick and scream and tantrum and be distracted. 

But I'm the grownup.  So we edited.  We laughed.  We added semicolons and capitalized where needed and punctuated properly.

This is the opposite of what happens in school.  Even in homeschool, a lot of times.  Usually the parent is telling the kid to learn.

In unschool, I'm the one dragging my feet and my kids are pulling me to teach them.
