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.

OMG! I seriously thought these things were unique to SV Elementary. They seemed old when WE had them 20 years ago. (I can’t believe I can truthfully say that I used them that long ago.) If I remember correctly we only used them to learn math. Each color was given a value of five or ten or whatever and we had to make twenty, thirty, forty, etc. in different configurations.
