Is unschooling for me?
I'm now in the second semester of my freshman year at UofDJ Highschool, and am considering the possibility of unschooling because to be brutally honest, I hate school. I LOVE learning but i HATE school. sure, i've gotten used to some aspects, like the social structure, behavioral expectations, and such, but i truly think i'm missing out on what i could be learning that matters to me rather than what the state requires. I love the idea of being able to learn at my own pace, with no artificial motivation looming over my head ready to ruin my life (grades). I've never done very well in the school system and i honestly don't see how i can benefit off of it. Sure, i've heard that it teaches you how to learn, but, aren't we humans already programmed to do that? Isn't that one of the things that makes us, US. We have a natural tendency to want more and desire more that is dampened by society. I want to do more. I don't want to just get an office job that I curse every day and I want to live my life to the fullest.
