Unconventional Education.

There is a movie coming out that is a true life documentary. The stars of this movie is a family of 9 kids with a mother and father. When the parents were first married they decided to go about educating their children in a unconventional way. After their first child was born, the parents bought a van and were on their way. Through the births of their nine children, the family developed a new way of education. The children learned through experience, they traveled from beach to beach surfing as a family and exploring their world. After seeing the trailer for this upcoming movie, I asked myself "Is this a better way for children to learn?" Truly I do not know the answer, whether kids learn from a teacher in a classroom as a strict curriculum through massive textbooks, is the right way is not for me to say. Because, honestly I do see the importance of growing in knowledge through experience, something that reading a book just cannot teach you. Either way, the nine kids in this movie all grew up to be successful and strong individuals in society, which does say a lot about this method of education!
