When stepping into anything new or outside of our comfort zones, a transition period is always a good way to go. We see it in so many areas, taking on a new job position, getting to know someone, sending our young people to school or not school and much more. The idea that there is a predefined timeline to decondition and acclimate oneself to a new learning pathway is schoolish is itself. If you decide to join our group, we'll get into what schoolishness means and how it shows beyond the walls of colonized education.
