Unschooler hacks his way through education

Meet Dale Stephens, the unschooler who is hacking his way through education and loving it. He began unschooling at the end of fifth grade, has traveled the world and written a book (Hacking Your Education: Ditch the Lectures, Save Tens of Thousands, and Learn More Than Your Peers Ever Will), and he's only 21.

"My mom and dad have always been my biggest supporters. I think they both had parents who said no to them a lot. It surprises me how many parents just don't believe in their children."

Kudos to Dale. This is a great example of what can happen when schooling gets out of the way of education!

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.” ~ Thomas Jefferson "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." ~ Woodrow Wilson Knowing one thing about homeschooling could make life better for your family and may even save your child's life.

One of the best & most honest campaign trail speeches ever

Ron Paul may have lost the 2012 New Hampshire primary but his message is resonating across America. I'm tired of hawk politicians and all the presidents in my life time have been war mongers. It's time for some peace. Let me ask you, do you support this: How can we teach our children to be peaceful when the powerful around us continue to inflict their policies and military might against us all on this earth. Many of us naively believed we left this deliberate destruction behind us after Viet Nam. We were duped then and we are being duped now. Some of us have awakened from our stupor but many have not. I do believe the 2012 presidential election is truly for the soul of this country. We cannot learn in freedom if there is no truth and no liberty in which to teach our own. The public schools in this country have kept the masses stupid long enough. Get the children out. Get them out and teach them the truth. How much more truth than a baby's cry do you need?

State run re-education gulags?

According to this article by Kurt Nimmo at Infowars.com, the Department of Homeland Security has labeled homeschoolers as terrorists. While DHS refers to us as terrorists Infowars appropriately refers to public schools as "youth internment centers" and "state run re-education gulags". Are parents willingly accepting less and less freedom for more and more so-called security? "Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."    Benjamin Franklin Connect with Guerrilla Homeschooling at Facebook!
