This article offers an interesting perspective on schooling. Intended to promote 'unschooling', interpreted here as meaning some type of home schooling, the article features a family that lives nomadically in a red school bus. My concerns about home schooling are well known, I think, as it presupposes parents who have the time, ability and disposable income to manage a child's education. Many (if not most) children are not privileged in this way. But by the same token, traditional schooling roots students in place, tied to a particular school in a particular town. It does little to support nomadic children. How do we support learning in such an environment, which children for whatever reason can't commit to a school? It takes more than a village to raise a child if the child is a nomad, a refugee, or simply on the move. Via Daniel Christian.
