Unjaxing

5 September 2005 by Tim

A bit like unschooling? ๐Ÿ™

Later Big and I are doing English.

I plan on teaching her a new word:

overacting

n : poor acting by a ham actor [syn: hamming]

overact

v. tr: To act (a dramatic role) with unnecessary exaggeration.

    our handover period has been relatively ok, so wish a similarly relaxed approach for you.[not unhelening as still mine, but know what you mean]

    dread to think what un-nicing would entail…but i know it wouldn’t be pretty and both new carer and offspring would be learning many new words!

    No, that would be dejaxing, like deschooling? Sounds too much like Ajax either way for my liking!

    Not, we are not dejaxing – that implies a kind of purging process, we are just doing without her.
    Small people have gone carnivore, bacon sandwiches to celebrate. ๐Ÿ™‚

    No – deschooling = getting used to life without school, whereas unschooling = purposely doing life/education without school. I reckon both have an element of purging, though!
    Hence my distinction on your jaxing – but I knew what you meant too ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Bacon sarnies sound yummy ๐Ÿ™‚
