		<description><![CDATA[The rhetoric – in the media, on social networking sites… – about “unschooling” is in overdrive these days. Whether the discussion is positive or negative in nature, the phenomenon is often breathlessly and incorrectly described as new or unorthodox. In fact, unschooling life learning is the way people naturally learn and school is the new-fangled way of doing things. Real learning has always been driven by interest and curiosity rather than by artificial motivation by teachers using a one-size-fits all agenda. Schooling is a relatively recent – and ineffective – attempt to standardize the learning process, but it can’t remove the learner’s control over learning. ]]></description>

		<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>
