funding or a donated building. This building will house our 

curricula library, public educational events and providing fillin-the-gaps, 

high-quality tutoring, place for families to come 

in and use technology including computers, obtain a GED, or 

educate their own children on site. 

Families will be able to walk in without an appointment to ask 

any educational question.

We foresee a daycare for young mothers and fathers 

in high school (main target) and college and 

will provide affordable daycare in hopes of keeping 

them in school.

INTERVIEW - UNRAVELING READING 

How did your book Unraveling Reading come about? 

Unraveling Reading was written in collaboration with New Heights Educational Group, the organization for which I 

have been and educational writer since 2012. NHEG works in the area of literacy for children, youth and adults with or 

without special needs. The intention to write a book about education and literacy began with the idea of developing a 

guide for teachers, students and families in a clear, practical and didactic language regarding the needs and difficulties 

linked to reading and writing. It is a book that presents didactic orientations and examples of pedagogical activities 

that can be applied both in school and in homeschooling education. 

NHEG BOOKS 

ONE NONPROFIT'S JOURNEY TO SUCCESS BY MS. SAVNEET SINGH 


Towards which audience is the book Unraveling Reading directed? 

Unraveling Reading defines a literacy program that is suitable for all ages, serving as a guide for parents, students and 

educators. This guide can be applied in the school environment or in home education. The book also presents a special 

focus on adult education (andragogy) explaining in detail how the adult learns, exemplifying strategies to arouse adult 

attention and enthusiasm in learning processes. In addition, some strategies for working with students with dyslexia 

and difficulties in reading and writing are elucidated in a clear and simple way. 

Is Unraveling Reading based on your personal experience? 

Yes, I worked as a kindergarten teacher, and many of the playful reading and stimulation activities suggested in the 

book were applied to the children's groups which I taught. The playfulness is intimately linked to child development 

and, for this reason, the work of enriching the reading and writing skills in the child through play are so motivating 

and interesting. In the case of the adult student, one learns through experience; for this reason, it is so important (in 

teaching the adult) to align the experience and the cultural baggage brought by him or her to the academic contents. 

The adult needs to find meaning for what is being taught to him or her so that he or she can put into practice what is 

learned in school. 

Ms. Pamela Clark, co-author of the book, also presents practical tips on reading and writing strategies accumulated 

over years of literacy experience with the New Heights Educational Group (NHEG), offering tutoring for families who 

practice homeschooling, as well as students enrolled in public or private schools. 

Is Unraveling Reading based on solid theories that validate it? 

Yes, Unraveling Reading relied on Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences in an attempt to introduce the 

reader to the importance of knowing the different intelligences present in school learning. The theory of andragogy, 

by Malcolm Knowles, elucidates to the educator the way in which the adult learns, which differs from the learning conceived 

by the child, for example. Finally, we use Brain Gym, a pedagogical technique that uses movement as a teaching 

strategy, created by Dr. Paul Dennison in order to improve the learning of children with Attention Deficit Disorder and 

Dyslexia. Each of these theories presents important contributions to the learning process in the classroom by considering 

the individuality and the needs of the student and by proposing strategies and playful learning alternatives. 

One Nonprofit’s Journey to Success is a book about an Ohio-based nonprofit, New Heights Educational Group, and 

its founder and director Ms. Pamela Clark. 

UNRAVELING READING BY DANIELA SILVA 

Are you preparing a new book? 

I am currently working on translating Unraveling Reading from English to Portuguese. In addition, Unraveling Reading 

is the first book in the series "Unraveling." The goal is to develop a book for each specific subject of learning, such as 

History, Mathematics, Science, Geography, Arts and Special Education. 

Is Unraveling Reading eminently applicable to schools? 

The differential of this book is that its applicability is not only focused on schools but mainly on the learning environment 

with families using home education. Thinking about it, the book proposes contents, activities and didactic orientations 

in a simple and clear language, accessible not only to the teachers in the classroom but also to the home educators. 

The main objective of the book is to awaken the student's pleasure and interest in the development of reading 

and writing, demystifying the idea that learning to read and write is boring and demotivating. Unraveling Reading is 

full of dynamic and funny activities, using play and movement as main learning strategies! 

Unraveling Reading is a response to the needs and difficulties faced by parents, students and teachers with respect 

to literacy and education. It presents strategies and alternatives for developing reading and writing in children, youth 

and adults in a practical and dynamic way.

The Case for One-Room School Houses 

Are Big Schools Hurting Our Children? 


While this school district decline was likely driven by the worthy desires to cut costs and provide more academic and developmental 

offerings, one can’t help but wonder if they have been more detrimental to kids. 

After all, as the Montana mothers note, these gargantuan schools cause a child to get lost in the shuffle and become a 

number rather than a name. Furthermore, large, distant schools are ill-equipped to give children the lessons of responsibility 

and intergenerational socialization that one of the mothers, Jocelyn Cahill, experienced as a young kid in a one-room 

school: 

Gargantuan schools cause a child to become a number rather than a name. 

She remembers the way the whole community packed into the school for Christmas programs, the schoolhouse chores 

that taught her to fold a flag and that floors don't clean themselves, the way older students helped younger ones learn 

and the days spent writing in her journal “just like Lewis and Clark” on a five-child/whole-school field trip to Yellowstone 

National Park. 

A 2013 study conducted amongst parents in the New Orleans area found that close proximity was one of the main reasons 

why families choose a certain school. One wonders if that factor extends to many other families across the country as well. 

By: Annie Holmquist 

Monday, August 14, 2017 

If so, is it possible that many families, if given the opportunity, would openly embrace the concept of very small, familylike, 

community schools akin to those once known as the “little red schoolhouse”? And is it possible that this small, individualized 

education would go far in correcting the behavioral and academic issues which plague the sprawling school campuses 

we have today? 

I have been fascinated with the concept of the one-room school ever since I watched television episodes of Little House on 

the Prairie in my preschool years. 

Admittedly, my early fascination stemmed from the romanticism of wanting to be like Laura Ingalls. But as I grew older and 

that romanticism faded, the interest in one-room schools remained. It eventually spawned a thought that has nagged me 

since college: could small, one-room schools be a solution to the many educational problems which plague America?The listener 

is left to connect the dots and see everything lost to a generation in the Great War.

Kickin' It Old School 

This thought was resurrected in my mind by the news 

that four Montana mothers are seeking to open a oneroom 

school in the fall of 2018. According to The Great 

Falls Tribune, the mild baby boom spawned by the four 

women soon led to the realization that their children 

would be hitting kindergarten – and having to spend 

two hours a day on the bus in order to reach the school. 

The mothers go on to imply that sending their children 

off to school so far is not only unhealthy, but seems to 

deprive them of their childhood. It also denies them the 

opportunity to be a part of a community. 

Unfortunately, the kids in this rural Montana town are 

not the only ones to be harassed by problems like this. 

For decades, many children have been removed from 

small, local, community schools and placed in the more 

distant, booming metropolis type of school. As the chart 

below shows, between 1940 and 2009, the number of 

school districts in the U.S. fell from 120,000 to just over 

12,000.

Ohio Alternate Assessment Participation Waiver: Public Comment Period Open through Nov. 18 

A new provision in Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), 

addresses alternate assessments for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. Each state must submit a waiver request to the 

United States Department of Education if it predicts exceeding 1 percent participation in the alternate assessment in a subject. Ohio’s 2016-2017 

alternative assessment participation rate was approximately 1.7 percent in reading, 1.8 percent in mathematics and 1.9 percent in science. Due 

to this rate, Ohio must request a waiver to the 1 percent cap for the 2018-2019 administration of the alternate assessment in reading, math and 

science. Ohio will be submitting a waiver to the U.S. Department of Education by November 20, 2017. 

http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Testing/Ohio-English-Language-Proficiency-Assessment-OELPA/Ohios-Alternate-Assessment-for-StudentswithSign 

The Department will be taking public comments here on the proposed one percent waiver from Oct. 18-Nov. 18, 2017. 

Partnering with Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities: Introducing Pre-Employment Transition Services for Students with Disabilities 

As of October 1, Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities began a rolling implementation of Pre-Employment Transition Services. These exciting 

new services are available to students with disabilities on an IEP or who are eligible for purposes of a 504, regardless of if the students have 

an open vocational rehabilitation case. They are a great way to supplement the early stages of transition planning, but can be provided at any 

point in the planning process. As the roll out begins, please note service provision will begin in stages and all services may not be currently available 

in every area in the state. Please see http://www.ood.ohio.gov/Transition-br-Students/Pre-Employment-Transition-Services for more information 

and to determine what is currently available in your area.

The trouble with Meier’s line of reasoning is that it presumes this is something schools can do. Mass schooling is, by its 

nature, compulsory and coercive. Supporting “an insatiable nonstop learner” within such a vast system of social control 

is nearly impossible. 

Holt said so himself. In his later books, as he moved away from observations of conventional classrooms and toward “the 

enemy” of homeschoolers, Holt acknowledged that the compulsory nature of schooling prevented the type of natural 

learning he advocated. He writes in his popular 1981 book, Teach Your Own: 

“At first I did not question the compulsory nature of schooling. But by 1968 or so I had come to feel strongly that the kinds 

of changes I wanted to see in schools, above all in the ways teachers related to students, could not happen as long as 

schools were compulsory 

Holt continues: 

“From many such experiences I began to see, in the early ‘70s, slowly and reluctantly, but ever more surely, that the 

movement for school reform was mostly a fad and an illusion. Very few people, inside the schools or out, were willing to 

support or even tolerate giving more freedom, choice, and self-direction to children….In short, it was becoming clear to 

me that the great majority of boring, regimented schools were doing exactly what they had always done and what most 

people wanted them to do. Teach children about Reality. Teach them that Life Is No Picnic. Teach them to Shut Up and Do 

What You’re Told.”

Now that schools are out across the country, headlines abound regarding the seemingly inevitable summer learning loss, 

was born in 1977, the year John Holt launched the first-ever newsletter for homeschooling families, Growing Without 

Schooling. At that time, Holt became the unofficial leader of the nascent homeschooling movement, supporting parents 

in the process of removing their children from school even before the practice was fully legalized in all states by 1993. 

Today, his writing remains an inspiration for many of us who homeschool our children. 

Mass schooling is, by its nature, compulsory and coercive. 

Holt believed strongly in the self-educative capacity of all people, including young people. As a classroom teacher in 

private schools in both Colorado and Massachusetts, he witnessed first-hand the ways in which institutional schooling 

inhibits the natural process of learning. 

Holt was especially concerned about the myriad of ways that schooling suppresses a child’s natural learning instincts by 

forcing the child to learn what the teacher wants him to know. Holt believed that parents and educators should support 

a child’s natural learning, not control it. He wrote in his 1976 book, Instead of Education: 

“My concern is not to improve ‘education’ but to do away with it, to end the ugly and anti-human business of peopleshaping 

and to allow and help people to shape themselves.” 

While progressive educators like Meier may have the best intentions and believe strongly that compulsory schools can 

be less coercive, the reality is quite different. Over the past half-century, mass schooling has become more restrictive 

and more consuming of a child’s day and year, beginning at ever-earlier ages. High-stakes testing and zero tolerance 

discipline policies heighten coercion, and taxpayer-funded after-school programming and universal pre-k classes often 

mean that children spend much of their childhood at school. 

Compulsory schooling cannot nurture non-coercive, self-directed learning. 

As “the enemy,” we homeschoolers reject the increasing grip of mass schooling and acknowledge what Holt came to realize: 

compulsory schooling cannot nurture non-coercive, self-directed learning. Holt writes in Teach Your Own: “Why do 

people take or keep their children out of school? Mostly for three reasons: they think that raising their children is their 

business not the government’s; they enjoy being with their children and watching and helping them learn, and don’t 

want to give that up to others; they want to keep them from being hurt, mentally, physically, and spiritually.” Today, 

those same reasons ring true for many homeschoolers. 

It’s worth grabbing the anniversary copy of John Holt’s How Children Learn. His observations on the ways children naturally 

learn, and the ways most schools impede this learning, are timeless and insightful. But it is also worth remembering 

that Holt’s legacy is tied to the homeschooling movement and to supporting parents in moving away from a coercive 

model of schooling toward a self-directed model of learning. After all, Holt reminds us in Teach Your Own: 

Self-Determined Learning 

Holt observed through his years of teaching, and recorded in his many books, that the deepest, most meaningful, most 

enduring learning is the kind of learning that is self-determined. 

“What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children's growth in the world is not that it is a better 

school than the schools but that it isn't a school at all.” 

One of his most influential books, originally published in 1967, is How Children Learn. This month, it was re-published in 

honor of its 50th anniversary, with a new Foreword by progressive educator and author, Deborah Meier. In her early days 

as an educator, Meier says, she was influenced by Holt’s work and was particularly drawn to his revelation that even 

supposedly “good schools” failed children through their coercive tactics. Meier writes in the Foreword: 

“While following Holt’s deep exploration of how children learn I therefore wasn’t surprised to discover Holt had joined ‘the 

enemy’—homeschoolers. His little magazine, Growing Without Schooling, was the most useful guide a teacher could ever 

read. As time passed I began to change my views of homeschooling. I’m still first and foremost working to preserve public 

education but homeschoolers can be our allies in devising what truly powerful schooling could be like. If we saw the child 

as an insatiable nonstop learner, we would create schools that made it as easy and natural to do so as it was for most of us 

before we first entered the schoolroom.” 






Identifying Obsessive Compulsive Disorder at School and Learn How to Transform 

Negative OCD`s Features in Positive Aspects for Self-development

craving the constant approval of others). 

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by the constant 

presence of preoccupations, repetitive behaviors (rituals) and 

recurrent and persistent thoughts that lead to great suffering and 

malaise in the child's life. 

OCD in childhood appears gradually, reaching the age group of 6 to 11 

years of age, and may be of environmental origin (through daily living 

with a relative who manifests the disorder) or due to inherent 

personality traits of the child (extremely perfectionist, anxious, or 

In the school environment, OCD has a strong impact on learning. There can be declining academic performances, attention and 

concentration difficulties, and in more extreme cases can cause school dropout. In the daily conviviality of the child with 

colleagues it is common for the child to disguise the symptoms of the disorder for fear of being ridiculed or deprecated by the 

group. 

Parents and teachers may also be aware of dermatological problems in the child's hands (due to excessive hand washing), as 

well as the appearance of skin lesions or abrasions (by constantly scratching, rubbing, scratching, or bruising the area). 

There is also a range of behaviors (rituals) manifested by the youth or the child during the school routine that can be a warning 

sign for educators and professionals who also work in school: 

Photo credit: Photopin, benchilada 

extreme use of rubber erasures on the paper. 

• Excessive organization of personal belongings such as notebooks, 

cabinets, binders, pencils, rubber and pens on the table and backpack 

position (always the same way). 

• Exaggerated personal hygiene and self-care, such as constant trips to 

the bathroom. 

Frequent hand asepsis, which may result in pain, swelling, rash or 

bleeding of the hands. 

• Too much slowness in the same activity as a result of a perfectionist atitude. 

• Presence of tears, marks or holes in notebooks due to an 

• Abundant checks (at the end of a lesson) of personal belongings on the table or under the desk in an attempt to 

make sure that he or she has not forgotten anything 


• Present repetitive pattern behaviors, such as walking without stepping on stripes, colored tiles, counting tiles or 

cars passing by on the street, intermittent repetition of numbers or syllables that come into the head. 

• Opening doors, cabinets, windows, drawers and other compartments of the classroom without using the fingers 

(only using one side of the hands or in some cases using one side of the body). 

• Stop eating, sleep or socialize for weeks to memorize school matter for a future event (i.e. a test) that has not yet 

happened. 

The other side of coin: positive and peculiars talents of OCD minds. 

• Creativity is in the details. The person with OCD is very detailful in the development of activities that he/she 

performs, wishing that everything needs to be very well organized and correct in the most perfect order. 

Extra class activities involving drawing, plastic arts (such as sculpture and painting), sposts, cutting and sewing, 

cooking, photography, writing composition, and learning new idioms or musical instruments are good examples of 

practices that relieve anxiety and stress. 

In order to relieve the negative obsessive thoughts and consequently the anxiety, here it are some suggestions of 

activities that a child can perform: 

• Critical and analytical thinking. The detailed observation of 

the person with OCD causes him/her to develop a high ability to 

think in a critical and thorough manner about a particular action 

or object. This ability is highly valued in tasks involving 

leadership and strategic planning, whether in work 

environments or in academic projects, for example.

clothing or food for campaigns or social projects. 

• Empathy, solidarity and willingness to help. Being in pain due 

to a mental disorder or emotional conflict causes the child to 

become more sensitivitive and pay attention to the needs of 

others. Thus, the child can put him/herself in the place of the 

other person, seeking to understand the other person to help 

him/her. A good activity is to divert the focus from one's own 

disorder to help someone else in distress or need, such as 

volunteering, participating in self-help groups and donating 

• Refusal to touch the belongings of classmates such as notebooks, pencils, erasers, pens, or even feel bad when 

someone manipulates some of their belongings 




The Illusion of School Choice 


School Is Not “the Real World” 

By: Antony Davies , James R. Harrigan 

Wednesday, August 16, 2017 

In private schools, as in private enterprise in general, poor performance drives funding away by driving paying customers 

away. Yet in public schools, poor performance is used as an excuse for increased funding. With incentives like these, 

is it any wonder that public schools are failing our children so badly? Isn't it time to inject some competition into the 

system? 

Education for all is a worthy wish. So is food for all. But we don't force poor people to eat state-produced food. Even food 

stamp recipients get to choose where to shop. Why shouldn’t beneficiaries of public education spending get to choose 

where to send their kids? 

Two economically inquiring minds want to know...

Wednesday, August 16, 2017 

It’s the depressing time of year again in which young people are ported off to school again. This brings to mind some of the 

conversations I’ve had with students and teachers on summertime, the “real world” and school. 

School Is Not “the Real World” 

First, if you are one of those school-goers who believes that returning to a world of desks and periods and busywork 

paperwork and bell-regulated life is a “return to the real world,” I don’t know what to say to you. I can only say that summer 

– especially if you spent it exploring, playing, learning, and building – is a far better reflection of a real world (and 

one worth having). 

The real world does not reward regimentations, and it does not reward good grades. Only if you choose to remain in 

academia forever can a break from school be anything but an improvement on your relationship to a “real world” where 

you can grow into your own person. Allow yourself that break from artificiality. Don’t shame it as some “guilty pleasure” 

or indulgence granted by school admins. 

The Real World Won’t Wait 

Secondly, if you’re one of the more self-aware schoolgoers, I congratulate you. You understand that your schooled environment 

is not the real world. You may see it as a training ground. Fine. Yet you continue to prioritize your time here. 

You’re outside of the real world of value creation, unstructured time, and free people. Why not prioritize your learning in 

that real world? 

Why assume that shutting yourself off from the real world is the best way to learn about the real world? Every skill 

you’ve ever learned has taken practice. If you want to thrive in a world outside the artificial habitat of school, you should 

spend more time in it. Summertime is not nearly enough time away from school, and the world won’t wait on you to 

finally gain the courage to leave your comfort zone.

Some Refreshing Honesty about the Purpose of Mass Schooling 


The elementary school posters in Florida are an overt reminder that schooling and learning are strikingly different. Children, 

especially those young elementary schoolers, have an incredible capacity for creativity, an inherent zest for exploration 

and discovery, and an insatiable appetite for learning about the world around them. Then they go to school where 

tactics that encourage conformity and compliance crush their natural learning instincts. At least these posters tell the 

truth. 



The Quiet Exodus from Mass Schooling 


Tuesday, August 22, 2017 

In case there was any ambiguity over the idea that mass schooling values and rewards conformity and compliance, an 

elementary school in Florida has made it very clear. 

At Deer Park Elementary School in Pasco County, signs appeared this week showing a hierarchy of behaviors from good 

to bad. “Democracy” was at the top, “Anarchy” was at the bottom. While there are many issues with these posters, beginning 

with the fact that public schooling is far from democratic, the one causing the most outrage among parents is 

the desire for children to exhibit “Cooperation/Conformity.” 

"Conform! How Orwellian," one parent wrote on Facebook. 

The posters, tied to the school’s “behavior and classroom culture” 

project modeled after author Marvin Marshall’s Raise Responsibility 

System of discipline, suggest that a young person who “complies” 

and “conforms” is a model student. Under relentless pressure 

from parents and student advocacy organizations, the school indicated 

they would temporarily remove the posters until they could 

better communicate their initiative to parents and the public. 

These school posters explicitly reveal the troubling reality that 

mass schooling retains its 19th-century roots as a system of social 

control. Originally designed to bring order to an increasingly diverse 

population, the industrial model of mass schooling continues 

to impose order by encouraging compliance, rewarding conformity 

and eliminating individuality. 

As author and academic, Noam Chomsky, says "the education system 

is supposed to train people to be obedient, conformist, not 

think too much, do what you’re told, stay passive…” 

Education Is a System of Indoctrination of the Young - Noam Chomsky 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVqMAlgAnlo 

In educator John Holt’s bestselling book, How Children Learn, republished this month in honor of its 50th anniversary, 

Holt writes about the systematic ways schooling destroys children’s natural curiosity and originality: 

We like to say that we send children to school to teach them to think. What we do, all too often, is to teach them to think 

badly, to give up a natural and powerful way of thinking in favor of a method that does not work well for them and that we 

rarely use ourselves. Worse than that, we convince most of them that, at least in a school setting, or any situation where 

words or symbols or abstract thought are concerned, they can’t think at all.”

Parents are fed up. As mass schooling becomes more restrictive, more standardized and more far-reaching into a child’s 

young life, many parents are choosing alternatives. Increasingly, these parents are reclaiming their child’s education and 

are refocusing learning around children, family, and community in several different ways. 

Charter & Homeschooling 

With back-to-school time upon us, more than two million U.S. children will be avoiding the school bus altogether in favor 

of homeschooling, an educational choice that has accelerated in recent years among both liberal and conservative 

families. While homeschooling for religious freedom remains an important driver for many families, 2012 data from the 

National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reveal that a main reason for homeschooling is “concern about the environment 

of other schools.” 

Beyond homeschooling, an additional two million children will be educated this fall in charter schools. According to recent 

U.S. Department of Education data, the number of students currently enrolled in charter schools increased from 

0.9 million in 2004 to 2.7 million in 2014, while the number of children enrolled in traditional public schools declined by 

0.4 million during that same period. 

Taxpayer-funded but administered by predominantly private educational organizations, charter schools allow parents 

flexibility in choosing a school that is better aligned with their expectations and their child’s needs. Charter schools are 

often exempt from district policies and collective bargaining agreements that can halt innovation and experimentation, 

allowing them more instructional and organizational freedom. Demand for charter schools often outweighs current 

supply, with statewide charter caps, admissions lotteries, and long waiting lists leaving many parents discouraged and 

angry. 

As online learning technology improves and expands, more parents are choosing virtual schools for their children over 

traditional public schools. Data from the non-profit organization, International Association for K-12 Online Learning, find 

that 310,000 young people in grades kindergarten through 12th grade participated in fully online programming in 2013, 

up from 200,000 in 2010. In addition to homeschoolers, charter school students, and virtual learners, more than four 

million children will avoid a traditional district school this fall to attend a U.S. private school. 




Putting Parents In Charge 

In states that advocate parental choice and actively expand education options to more families, student enrollment in traditional 

public schools is declining. When given real choices, parents are deciding to avoid an assigned district school in 

favor of alternatives. 

Today, parents are glimpsing the possibilities of real choice that put them back in charge of their children’s education. 

In North Carolina, for example, the state has taken deliberate steps to expand educational choice to more parents. These 

steps include lifting caps on the number of allowed charter schools, creating a voucher program for low-income families, 

offering tuition assistance for parents of children with special needs, and expanding opportunities for homeschoolers. As 

a result of these efforts, enrollment this year in the state’s traditional public schools declined by more than 5,000 students, 

while those enrolled in home-schools, charter schools, and private schools increased by almost 24,000 children. 

Today, parents are glimpsing the possibilities of real education choice measures that put them back in charge of their children’s 

education. After decades of weakening parental empowerment, in which mass schooling has steadily consumed 

more of a child’s time than ever before, parents are reclaiming their essential role in guiding their children’s education. 

They are also advocating for additional choice measures that make avoiding traditional public schools more feasible. With 

back-to-school time approaching, many families are opting-out of mass schooling and into a host of quality educational 

alternatives. 

Hello! 

Welcome to the exciting world of learning without schooling! You have already taken the important first step in redefining 

your child's education by acknowledging the limitations of mass schooling, recognizing the ways it can dull a child's curiosity 

and exuberance, and seeking alternatives to school. Now it's time to take a deep breath, exhale, and explore. 

1. First things first: Connect with your local homeschooling network. This network could be a message board through a 

Yahoo or MeetUp group, or a Facebook group, or a state homeschooling advocacy group (like AHEM for Massachusetts 

homeschoolers). Maybe you have already joined the Alliance for Self-Directed Education and have connected with the local 

SDE groups that may be forming in your area. Tapping into your local homeschooling community, posting your questions 

and introducing yourself, can be incredibly valuable. You may be surprised at just how many homeschooling families are 

nearby and the many activities and resources available to you. You may also find families on a similar path as yours. This 

can alleviate much of the anxiety you are experiencing as you take a peek into this new world of learning. These local networks 

can help you to navigate your local homeschooling regulations and guide you through the process of pulling your 

child from school. 

2. Second: start reading! Obviously, you are already doing this or you wouldn't have found my blog, but there is much more 

to learn. Homeschooling and education blogs and websites are great resources. Here is my short list of favorite books/ 

• Free To Learn, by Peter Gray 

• Teach Your Own, by John Holt (Anything by John Holt is worth reading. Here is 

• The Unschooling Unmanual, by Jan Hunt 

• Deschooling Society, by Ivan Illich 



the Holt/Growing Without Schooling website.) 

• Life Learning Magazine, by Wendy Priesnitz (editor) 

• Free To Live, by Pam Laricchia 

• Class Dismissed documentary 

So, You're Thinking about Homeschooling... 

• Free-Range Learning, by Laura Grace Weldon 

• Home Grown, by Ben Hewitt 

• Schooling the World documentary 

• Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling, by 

• The Teenage Liberation Handbook, by Grace Llewellyn 

John Taylor Gatto 

• The Unschooling Handbook, by Mary Griffith 

3. Third: What about curriculum? Personally, I am an advocate for Self-Directed Education (SDE). Sometimes referred to as 

"unschooling," SDE shifts our view of education from schooling (something someone does to someone else, often by force) 

toward learning (something humans naturally do). With Self-Directed Education, young people are in charge of their own 

learning and doing, following their own interests and passions, with grown-ups available to help connect them to the vast 

resources of both real and digital communities. Children direct their education, adults facilitate. 

I am a realist though. (Or at least I try to be!) So I know that it is often challenging for families to go directly from a 

schooled mindset to an unschooled one. Whenever parents ask me what curriculum they should choose, I say *if* you 

are going to use a curriculum, I recommend Oak Meadow. A Vermont-based company that incorporates a lot of Waldorfinspired 

educational ideas, Oak Meadow is a gentle, rich curriculum with a stellar reputation. 

4. Next: think about your family values, needs, and rhythms. Shifting from schooling to learning may involve some big 

changes to your family life, your routines, and your schedules. It may lead to reassessing priorities and to carefully juggling 

multiple work and family responsibilities. It also means you need some help to avoid burning out! Consider your support 

network of family, friends, and community and get the help you need to make this work for the long-term. If there is a selfdirected 

learning center or homeschooling co-op near you, these resources can also be incredibly helpful in enabling you 

to find balance and connection. 


Monday, October 02, 2017 

I have been getting emails like the one below more frequently lately, so I thought I would share my general response. 

"Dear, Kerry: I ran across your website while doing research on homeschooling. I am a mother of 3 children ages 6,4 and 2. 

We moved to the suburbs when my children were smaller to take advantage of the top-rated public schools in our town. 

We had a wonderful pre-school experience due to the choice of school focused on play, outdoor exploration and emotional 

development.However, as my 6 year old embarks on her education in the public school system, I find myself becoming 

more and more disappointed. More importantly, I find her becoming bored and disinterested in learning as a 1st grader.All 

of this said, I am contacting you because I am thinking of homeschooling and I'm scared to death!What are the resources? 

What curriculum should I use? Where do I begin? So many questions! Help!" 


5. Finally: talk with your kids! Learning without schooling is a collaborative endeavor that is mostly focused on your child's 

distinct interests, learning styles, and needs. Talk with your child and find out what she wants to do. If you are coming 

directly out of a school environment, you may need some time to "deschool"-- to fully embrace living and learning without 

being tied to the expectations and accouterments of a schooled lifestyle. Go to the library, the museum, the park, or the 

beach. Take a walk in the woods. Spend long, slow mornings reading books together on the couch. Bake cookies. Ride 

bikes. Write a letter to a friend. Watch a movie. Play Scrabble. Go to the grocery store, the bank, the post office. Live life. 

Soon you will see that living and learning are the same thing. 

Best wishes to you as you embark on this exciting life journey! Remember: schooling is a relatively recent societal construct; 

learning is a natural condition of being human. Happy learning! 

Warmly, 

Kerry

UNRAVELING READING: The Importance of Play in Teaching Reading and Writing Skills 

By: Daniela Silva 

NOVEMBER 6, 2017 

Play 

It is vital to help your child develop new and long-lasting skills through specific learning exercises. Homeschool moms, 

you have guilt-free permission to incorporate play into your education program. 

In the brain, learning occurs in the central nervous system through the exchange of synaptic connections. These connections 

change with each new piece of information captured by the brain. And, the formation of different synaptic connections 

results in new knowledge and skills. 

What aids this process of developing new skills? The key is quality of stimuli. One of the best ways that a child can develop 

new cognitive skills is through play. 

Playing is essential to the overall development of a child—the main vehicle of play is movement. It is through movement 

that a child comes to know and perceive the world around them, using their senses to communicate and establish relationships 

with the environment and others around them. 

The activity of playing stimulates a child’s sensory-motor capacities, activates a reward system in the brain, and exercises 

the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for planning and decision-making skills. 

Play promotes the development of various brain areas: 

The Broca and Wernicke Centers are responsible for speech mobility and verbal comprehension. Singing songs and 

interacting with peers during play stimulates and promotes the development of language in children. 

Academic skills are greatly improved through play. These include teamwork, respect for rules and space of others, knowing 

how to listen and speak, concentration and attention skills, and the development of strategic and creative thinking. 

Play improves cognitive and emotional health. Play helps activate a group of neurons that release the neurotransmitter 

dopamine. This chemical has several functions in the brain, including behavior, motor activity, motivation, reward, humor, 

anxiety, attention and learning. 

Playful activities exercise memory. The act of play enhances the capabilities of thought, attention and concentration. 

In addition, a child develops reasoning and information processing speed, which are essential capabilities not only for a 

school environment but also for life. 

Brain executive functions. The executive functions involve cognitive abilities such as focus, concentration and coordination. 

In the classroom, they are crucial in activities that require the capacity of planning, reasoning and strategic thinking. 

Teach Writing and Reading Skills Through Play Activities 

Prior to encouraging a child to practice reading, it is necessary to awaken motivation and curiosity using literature that 

interests the student. 


When we play using our whole body, our brain releases neurotransmitters linked to the reward system and pleasure. 

This way, we can note that positive emotions play a crucial role in our capacity of learning with interest and motivation. 

Providing favorable emotions for learning is only possible if the process is motivating for the student. Without motivation 

or interest, there is no learning. 

In order to develop effective learning, it is necessary to construct and modulate new brain memories that only attach 

to our brain if they present value and meaning to the student. Thus, negative emotions during the learning process can 

generate negative responses such as stress or fear that affect a student’s attention and concentration. For this reason, 

learning through play and dynamic activities will make all the difference for a student’s academic skills. 

This is an example of joyful education, which my book Unraveling Reading focuses on to assist homeschool families and 

students in education and literacy. The book presents strategies and alternatives for developing reading and writing in 

children, youth and adults in a practical and dynamic way. Through diverse educational lessons, activities address three 

different learning styles, with consideration for how the brain learns and processes information visually, auditorily and 

kinesthetically. 

Unraveling Reading also includes examples of activities to improve reading and writing skills through movement using 

the Brain Gym technique created by Dr. Paul Dennison. Brain Gym consists of 26 movements that can be performed by 

children, youth and adults, with the aim of providing enhancements in the functioning of the brain (including improvements 

in the reading and writing process). 

The practice of physical exercise contributes positively in the capacities of concentration, attention, focus and strengthening 

memory. Exercises increase blood flow, which is essential to enhance attention and mental concentration. Unraveling 

Reading can serve as a learning guide for parents, students and educators—promoting advances in the academic 

field and helping students overcome difficulties related to learning to read and write.

education, andragogy and people training. Additionally, she develops training manuals for teachers and students, and 

contributes as a mentor in an online platform, answering questions about career plans, college decision, personal development 

and professional skills. Working in collaboration with The New Heights Educational Group, Inc., she published 

Unraveling Reading, a book on literacy education and learning disabilities in reading and writing. 

Invite the child to go with you to a bookstore or library and offer them the opportunity to choose books that both of you 

can read together. Through this exercise, it is extremely important to remember to practice playing activities that develop 

reading and writing skills. 

UNRAVELING READING: The Importance of Play in Teaching Reading and Writing SkillsHere is a practical example. In a 

class of 5-year-old students, in order to teach the class how to write their names and the names of their classmates, a 

teacher could use a “hangman game of names.” In this game, each child must say a different letter to form the proper 

name in the blank spaces of the flipchart. In the event of a mistake, the hangman is drawn by the teacher. Additionally, a 

“mobile alphabet” is used so the students are able to write their names moving mobile letters. This pedagogical practice 

contributes positively to learning and improvement of reading and writing skills. 

Another way to stimulate children´s writing is to diversify activities in which each student can write and describe personal 

characteristics of people in their family, such as parents, uncles and grandparents. Children can use a photo they 

bring with them and write about it—where the photo was taken, who was there that day or why this picture was chosen. 

The goal of this method is to awaken your child’s motivation for writing. You can suggest activities with themes of interest 

to the student, such as composing papers on favorite books or movies, writing letters, or sending invitations or 

emails to select recipients. 

Movement as a Pedagogical Strategy of Teaching and Motivation 

Educational Kinesiology is a pedagogical approach that uses movement as a teaching strategy. The movements used 

are grouped under the title of Brain Gym, which are body movements that a student uses to develop and improve focus, 

concentration and attention to enhance academic activities. 

Kinesiology enhances the learning in a ludic and dynamic way, promoting new competencies, ways of thinking and 

improvements in the writing and reading processes. Body movement promotes the development of new brain connections 

and helps students to cope with difficulties involving laterality, sequence, organization and concentration.

OUR RECIPES 


Our 

Recipes 

The Very Best Meatloaf 

Ingredients: 

• 1 Tbs olive oil 

• 1½ cups onion, chopped 

• 3 garlic cloves, minced 

• 2 large eggs 

• ½ cup milk 

• 2 tsp dijon mustard 

• 1 tsp hot sauce 

• 1½ tsp fresh marjoram, or ½ teaspoon dried, 

crumbled 

• 1½ tsp fresh thyme, or ½ teaspoon dried, crumbled 

• salt and freshly ground pepper 

• 1 lb chuck (ground beef) 

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F 

• ½ lb veal (optional. Use half pork and beef if you 

can't find ground veal or don't buy veal) 

• ½ lb ground pork 

• 1½ cups fresh bread crumbs 

• ¼ cup fresh parsley, minced 

• For the Glaze: 

• ½ cup ketchup* 

• ¼ cup light brown sugar 

• 1½ Tbs cider vinegar 

• NOTE: *I have used Heintz Chili Sauce in place of ketchup and 

that's also a great choice! 

• In a skillet over moderate heat, add the oil. Heat the oil until hot, but not smoking. Add the onion and 

garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside and let cool. 

• In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, mustard, and hot sauce together. Add marjoram, thyme, salt, and 

pepper.In a large mixing bowl, combine the meats, egg-milk mixture, bread crumbs, parsley, and the cooked 

onion mixture. 

• In a small bowl stir together ketchup, sugar, and vinegar. Set aside. 

• Form 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture into a small patty, add 

it to a small oiled skillet, and cook until no longer pink. Taste for 

seasoning and adjust. 

• Transfer meat mixture to an oiled loaf pan.* NOTE: I have, 

since, discovered that I can mix all the wet ingredients in my 

Kitchen Aid mixer bowl, then add the meat and cooked onions 

and garlic. I turn the mixer on LOW for a few minutes-- so much 

easier and less messier! 

• *NOTE: The best way to make the meatloaf is to use a baking sheet, lined with 

foil. Place a cooling rack on top. Cut a piece of foil to be larger than a the loaf-- 

and shape the meat into a loaf. Using a metal skewer, poke holes along the foil... 

usually every other hole. Place the shaped loaf on top of the foil. I prefer this 

method, as the loaf is less likely to "steam" in a loaf pan. You can also glaze all 

around the meatloaf, which is even better! 

• Brush meat with ketchup glaze. Bake in oven for about 45 

minutes, until glaze has set. 

• Brush meat loaf with remaining glaze and bake for 15 minutes 

more; glaze again. My oven takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach 

the desired doneness. Times do vary, so allow for that! 

• Internal temperature of loaf should be 160 degrees F. 

• NOTE: Sometimes, I freeze half of the mixture in a plastic lined loaf pan. Once it's frozen, I remove the loaf and place 

it in a zip-loc bag, and the loaf is perfectly shaped. When ready to prepare, thaw in the refrigerator, make the glaze and 

bake as directed. 

• WITH THE OTHER HALF: I shape individual meat loafs, and bake as directed for 20 minutes. This speeds up the time, 

quite a bit.
