"Thirty years or so ago there were "blackmail diets." People would make wagers about who could lose the most weight. But in advance, they would write checks to charities they would never want to give any money to. And the loser's check…"

Ultrinsic

A few weeks ago I saw a new report about a website called: "Ultrinsic". For those of you whom haven't seen it, it's a website where college students put an amount of money for them to earn (or lose) depending on their grades. This is supposed to motivate students to study and work towards the grade they want, and if they achieve their desired grade, they earn the amount of money they put down for it. Another factor involves them losing the money if they fail to earn it. …See More

Profile Information

what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?
To me, unschooling is separating from institutionalized teaching in places called "schools". It's when you are able to regain and/or keep in touch with learning in a more natural way. In which you are able to discover the world's secrets for yourself.
how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?
I am still a student, I am wishing to become unschooled.
a little about me
Born in New York, raised in Pennsylvania. I've been in school for 10 years and desire to become an unschooler. I have a very inquisitive mind and yearn to live life to the fullest.
