We’re pulling water up so fast that it’ll be gone in our lifetime. The Ogallala Aquifer will be gone. There aren’t any ifs ands or buts; it’s just a case of when and how fast it goes.
Being unschooled breaks down a lot of barriers around age. In school, you’re always in your age group. In unschooling, anyone of any age can be your friend or someone you’re learning with or someone who’s teaching you. It opens up a lot of social possibilities.
