Natural Learning In Action

Schooling outside of school.

Zachary plays Revolution Evolution often. In this game he plays within different cultures, types of government, location, times and famous people.
He has to choose whether to accept certain historical figures into his culture. Today her requested information on Marie Curie, Florence Nightingale, Ghengis Khan, Mai something or another, and another that I can't think of right now.
We also got a lesson of the history of pastys during dinner.

Is is considered "school" or learning when a child asks his mom to read aloud an entire page of information about a historical figure?

I have stayed up way too late tonight and an falling asleep over this article. I will look back over it tomorrow to make sure I didn't make any "too big" blunders.
Goodnight.
