Very interesting. It’s personally interesting to me that you chose to juxtapose Atheism with home-schooling. I’m an atheist who has only recently overcome my aversion to the notion of home-schooling. I had this aversion largely because the people I’d met who were homeschooled or homeschooling their children were, largely, Christian wackaloons. (I describe them as such because they were both Christian and crazy, not because one implies the other.)

I think that you’re fundamentally right: Atheism is a particular conclusion about the state of things. This is one thing that bothers me about a great many Atheists I admire (e.g. P. Z. Myers), they tend to assume that Atheism implies other parts of their agenda (e.g. their politics.) This is almost never the case.

That’s all a long-winded way of saying “great post; I agree.”

Regards,
Aaron

GREAT article! I self-identify as agnostic because I don’t know and neither do the religious.

I do live my life by very sound precepts:

Accountability - ownership of my choices

Responsibility - ability to respond to my choices

Consent - I make no choice at a cost to another person without their consent

If everyone could manage just those three things, indeed, paradigms would shift and much discourse reduced

Lack of morals or values are not what atrophy society, but the lack of development of the simple teaching of personal accountability and responsibility.

Cheers!

Congratulations!

I’m curious about what unschoolers think about the social implications of unschooling. How does unschooling provide interaction with other students/children? My social skills are the only set of skills I attribute to going to school.

I’m looking forward to the new site, where maybe there will be more resources on topics such as these.
