One of the biggest differences between my pre- and post-deschooling days was the amount of laughter I shared with my kids. While my kids were in school, we could easily go several days without laughing together. When we were unschooling, hardly an hour would go by without a laugh. Susie Maguire: “You take life so much less seriously, and there’s space within yourself for laughter to exist.” Kayla Childs: “The more wellness you have, the more things can be funny.” Sandra Dodd: “The more you know, the more jokes you get.” Tom Chapin: In Tennessee they go "hee hee hee!"
