Unschooling YouTubes

I just watched a video from Dayna Martin about an unschooling home. She addresses the issue of cleaning and finding balance in her home. She has 18 short videos on youtube about unschooling. Some of the topics are: deschooling, is unschooling legal, authenic parenting, what is radical unschooling, are schools really democratic, and many others. Here's the link to her youtubes: http://www.youtube.com/user/DaynaLeighMartin

There is an interesting youtube about John Taylor Gatto and his book "Dumbing us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling." It looks worth watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1kgSlLawyQ&feature=related

I'm going to add these to my youtube list way down on the left.

Have a great weekend all!

Heather,
I am so glad that you left a comment on my blog because it has enabled me to find yours! I am really loving it so far and can't wait to come back and spend some time catching up with your posts.

Also I want to thank you for introducing me to Dayna Martin's You Tube videos which I am looking forward to watching (and will check out Gatto's too). So thank you!

I love your blog too! I loved listening to John T Gatto's radio interview. It was long but very fascinating. I thought Dayna's YouTube talk about the home was neat too. I want to see more when I get time. I may ask my hubby to watch the one about radical unsc. w/ me. I'm not sure he totally understands it yet.
