Unschooling is a term that John Holt coined in the 70s, after years of
extensive research regarding how children learn and what was causing
them to fail. He determined that totalitarian school pushes many
children to fail via a fear inducing sub-society, where school as
structured seemed to slow the learning process in most children.
One of his strongest beliefs was that children did not need to be forced
into learning, that they are always learning, yet anything that
resembled the rigid structure of school was actually counterproductive
to their success. The theory has resonated, thus unschooling, or
life-learning led by the child's interests, was born.
