Unschooling America with DAYNA MARTIN

Freedom to Learn with Liberty and Justice For All.

Welcome!

We are in a day and age of change. The pendulum is swinging in the other direction as to the necessity of compulsory schooling for all children. This is not about homeschooling for religious reasons or having "gifted" children. This is about whether or not school should be the center of a child's life.

With information all around us, there is nothing that a child can learn at school, that they can not learn at home and out in the real world pursuing their interests. In the days when schools were first established, they were the only place that a child could go to obtain more knowledge because schools had the books and educational opportunities that were not available elsewhere. Now, with the Internet, television, magazines and millions of other resources, learning opportunities are everywhere!

For the involved parent facilitating their child's learning with an environment rich with resources, attending school is completely unnecesary. Unschooled children do not have to deal with intense peer pressure. They are not graded or measured. They are not segregated by age. They are not bullied, or moved around by bells. Also Unschooled kids do not have to be away from their families. They do not have to ask permission to go to the bathroom or move from their seats. They also do not have a mundane life living someone else's agenda. In short, our Unschooled children are truly free.

Radical Unschooling is an evolution of our understanding about learning and the rights and respect of children. We are on the cusp of change and many people are looking for alternatives to the traditional schooling model. With Unschooling, we are reprioritizing. We are taking back our freedom and putting happiness, connection and family first!

Welcome to the future of education!

~Peace & Love, Dayna Martin

Love the videos, and I loved you on the Dr. Phil show. Between you and me. With that one lady who wanted to homeschool because she feard for her child and the dad wanted them to go to public schools. I think they should go to the public school. That woman has too much paranoia to be given that much control over her kids lol.

Dayna... you are a fantastic advocate for unschooling and the RU lifestyle! I have a recent opportunity to share unschooling with a new AP group in our area and I've sent them to your YouTube videos. Thanks for being *out there* about unschooling and sharing the freedom that comes from living it. :D

You suggested a website for homeschool laws, besides HSLDA and I totally forgot what it was called. Do you still remember it?

I like your videos. I have made a series on education which is highly inspired by John Holt and the unschooling movement.

It's great to see unschooling advocates out there!  I'm an unschooling teen, and I was quite happy to actually find stuff when I searched unschooling on YouTube! :-P

Thank you so much for all you are doing! It is truely inspiring. You helped my husband and I in the bottom line of what we plan on doing with our daughter ( who is now 2yrs but then only a few months old). We feel very confident in our choice and a very big chunk of that is because of you, Thank you!
