		<description><![CDATA[Adults have a special status of control over kids called adultism. They make decisions for children, create rules that govern children’s day-to-day lives, and generally tell kids what to do. One of the places that this abuse of power manifests itself is our education system. Life learners and unschoolers are challenging adultism and leading the way to a future where children are respected as functioning members of society.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent sailing misadventure of sixteen-year-old Abby Sunderland and the successful climbing of Mount Everest by thirteen-year old Jordan Romero have me thinking about skill and ability as related to age.

		<description><![CDATA[The ABC News show Nightline has recently featured “unschooling.” I guess budgets are low and the network is repurposing content – or at least ideas. Last month, one of the Nightline segment “reporters” did a similar piece, with a different family, on the ABC show Good Morning America. It was equally as ignorant, unbalanced, and sensationalist.
