About Reschool Yourself
Reschool Yourself is a year-long exploration of how school shaped the person I became, and how I decide to educate myself from now on. This fall I'm returning to my old classrooms week by week, to understand how school influenced my identity and to regain the happiness and creativity of childhood. In the spring I'll pursue learning opportunities in the U.S. and abroad to become as autonomous as possible. I'll share my experiences of "reschooling" and personal development through this website and provide a forum for readers of all ages to exchange their own. This site is a place to tell our stories about education: our experiences past and present, and our vision for future generations.

Someone I know had that exact same pizza. I can’t recall who though… When my mom had a little money saved to take my brother or I to Toys R Us we’d walk down all the aisles and I tried so many times to get my mom to buy us fake food so we could play grocery store at home. (We had a heavy duty, plastic, orange and yellow mini grocery cart for some reason.) My mom never gave in so we had to use real cans, boxed food, and packages of noodles. However, at some point my brother got fake food for his birthday or Christmas. I was too old to really care at that point (he’s four years younger) but remember being miffed that he didn’t get that present years earlier.
