Christina Aguilera Praises Unschooler Musician Theres No Teaching What You DoBy Eric Blair Sawyers parents are part of a growing unschooling movement that seeks to provide the child with ultimate freedom to explore their interests. Although the show never mentions this fact, Christina Aguilera, a judge on the show, made a comment following Fredericks successful performance in the second round of the show that sort of proves the point of unschooling. After performing a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover Have You Ever Seen The Rain as a duet with a fellow contestant, Sawyer received high praise from all the judges with Aguilera telling himTheres no teaching what you do. Most people can barely wrap their heads around homeschooling, much less understand unschooling. I sense people recoil at just reading this headline, much like I did when I first heard the term. That is before I became an unschooling parent myself. Unschooling is the practice of life-learning through direct experiences driven by self-interests. Believe it or not, kids are always learning especially when it pertains to something theyre interested in. As popular as folk music is from the likes of Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and Tom Petty to name a few, before hearing Sawyer I thought authentic folk music was going extinct with young people replaced by some ghastly pop-country nonsense. I couldnt be more glad to be proven wrong. Sawyers first performance in the blind audition on The Voice had all the judges fighting to coach him. Here he is singing his unique version of a centuries-old folk song Man of Constant Sorrow. Eric Blair writes and curates news for selfnewsPost.com
