Minimally Invasive Education, used to describe how children learn in unsupervised environments, record me the famous book titled “Libres enfants de Summerhill” (A.S. Neill, Hart Publishing) or “Une société sans école” (Ivan Illich) which were red with great enthousiasm by the 68’s generation! But MIE, at this stage of my life and at this stage of the developpement of the “new technologies”, seems much more promising. To let us understand and think about all the consequences from the anthropoligical point of view, watch this 20mn video and navigate in this website : http://www.hole-in-the-wall.com/Solution.html.
Waiting for your comments.
PS: I dedicate this post to Casadocaminho , home for brasilien children whose parents don’t care for them. Also to the street kids in Cape Town (South Africa) who are playing quick and well checkers and have hard time learning how to read, write and calculate.

Interesting but I still think children are to be taught the basics before being able to learn by themselves.
No Alice, kids will learn by themselves if they have to…Isa, on dit parents in english, not fathers…Thank you for dedicating your post to the wonderful street children!
Thx for Astrid pertinent comments… Astrid start please your own posterous blog with:* astrid profile* astrid beautiful motto "dedication to the wonderful street children all over the world…"
Lot of materials to think about in this video.Academic learning versus "self learning": how babies learn to speak? By themselves. Humans are learning more by themself than in school or university. So why school exist? To learn to children things that parents (ok Astrid 😉 ) are not able or not ready to give them. States are doing it for them. How? Time to re-think this point.
