On 18 July the Overberg Homeschoolers were privileged to have a screening of the new documentary on homeschooling Class Dismissed.
Before and after the screening a number of young entrepreneurs were given the opportunity to sell their wares, ranging from homemade puddings, muffins, brownies, popcorn and drinks to handmade crafts and even socks!
About Class Dismissed
The movie follows the story of an American family in their quest to educate their children. They carefully selected the city and suburb in which they would live in order to give their children access to the best schools in the state, but when their eldest daughter asked to be homeschooling, they investigated this unconventional option and decided to give it a try.
From home study around the dining table and in the car, to days at work with their dad, the movie documents the family discovering sometimes by trial and error, which path is the best for their unique needs, incidentally revealing some of the common errors made by new homeschooling families.
It also contains pertinent commentary from experts from within the homeschooling movement and not only highlights problems of the traditional school system which many regard as now outdated, but it also focuses on alternative, highly successful models of learning which are revolutionary and could change the way education looks in the 21st century!
