When we read the
scriptures, we realize that Jesus was an unschooler. He was a supporter
of the Sudbury method. He was a radical unschooler. He was always
doing things outside of the box. He taught using the fig tree, fishing,
and water from the well. He encouraged the respect of children
(remember "suffer the little children to come unto me?? or "Let no man
despise thy youth"?). He taught by living (remember when he washed the
disciples feet or when he taught them how to pray?). God believes in
the power of children (remember "from the mouths of babes, God has
ordained perfect praise" or when he called Jeremiah, Daniel, Joseph,
David, and Samuel who were all just young boys? Even Mary the mother of
Jesus was a little girl.). All of these are examples of how we feel
non-traditional teaching, unschooling or even the Sudbury model are not
against scripture.
