	Deschooling, by Pattie Donahue-Krueger
		If not, briefly deschooling is the process during which children who had previously been in public or private school need time to decompress, to shake off the schoolish notions that have surrounded them and find their footing in the freedom that homeschooling affords them.
		To further complicate the issue, you will find that the ongoing process of deschooling is not limited to your children The deschooling process is ever-changing, exhilarating, maddening and is something that we as parents must experience as well.
		Deschooling is not something that you will "get through," rather it is more a sense of moving on to other levels in your thinking about learning.

	Deschooling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deschooling is a term used by both education philosophers and proponents of alternative education and/or homeschooling, which refers to different things in each context.
		Another common criticism is that institutionalized schooling is used as a tool for the engineering of an ignorant, conformist working class through constant schedules and prearranged time blocks and one-size-fits-all teaching methods.
		Practical alternatives arising in place of institutionalized learning have been free schools, unschooling at home and forming networks with other deschooling families and individuals.

	Homeschool Resources - Deschooling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Deschooling is the belief that schools and other learning institutes cannot produce the best education for each individual.
		This is based on the belief that people learn better by themselves, outside of an institutional environment, when they wish to learn, as they do in areas of common interest such as clubs and societies.
		Unfortunately, the deschoolers, Illich particularly, but also Goodman, Friers and the others, have never really addressed the problem of what to do with people who may not want to learn, and how well people learn when they are in the hands of people who aren't very good at teaching.

		Writers like Leadbeater (2000: 112) have rediscovered Ivan Illich and argued for a partially deschooled society: 'More learning should be done at home, in offices and kitchens, in the contexts where knowledge is deployed to solve problems and to add value to people's lives'.

		Deschooling is needed much more by parents than by children.
		It also can include the process of deschooling parents; that is, the unlearning of concepts and beliefs about the nature and purpose of education.
