What is this site about?

This blog is dedicated to our deep interest in Finnish culture, community activism and my family's recent decision to finish school early this year and begin the adventure of home/unschooling.  There is a relationship here...and I trust we will understand it in due time.

I see this blog as a place to share our struggles, failures and successes,  projects, questions and interests; a site of research and exchange, with others who have also decided to "drop out" for a while, or not...

We see this time as a retreat, a chance to spend time together, to get to know our own educational gaps, needs and aspirations, to slow down time and simplify our lives and to see the educational value again in things like: learning to fold clothes, iron, sew, cook, play, learn a language, experiment.

We know it won't be easy, but we are excited to try this! We welcome feedback, comments, help and company on our journey to find new eyes!
