Editor's comment: I like much of what this mother and dad have to say about educating our kids. Dayna and her husband, Joe, take a radically different approach to living with and 'educating' their son and daughter. Their methods are known as "unschooling" (not to be confused with "home schooling") - but "education" is only a part of their broader view of parenting involved with respecting their children as partners rather than only subjects to parental authority. There may be something to gain from them if we temporarily set aside what we've learned about parenting and can listen with open minds. One thing that is not addressed in the two videos below are the laws that make school attendance - or the use of government-approved curriculums for home-schooling, compulsory in the United States. But you can go to Dayna Martin's website and ask about this by sending her an email. Apparently there are parents who adopt the "unschooling" alternative within the limits of the law. Frankly, the first video is to some extent, bait and the interviewing skills of the host are sorely lacking. In the second video the Martin's describe their approach to parenting their son and daughter..
