What they don't know...

What they don't know won't hurt them.

Learn Nothing Day is intended for unschoolers, not just for anybody.
It will only work for experienced unschoolers, not for just anyone.
What's done is done, and fun is fun!

Sweet Little Podcast about Learn Nothing Day

Amy Childs has done a short and beautiful podcast about Learn Nothing Day. Besides my voice and Amy's, you can hear Alex Polkowsky, Hema Bharadwaj, Julie Daniel, and Amy's daughter Kayla.

A couple of links to go with this:
"Try not to learn. Don't try to learn. Those two aren't the same thing but they're close enough for beginners." (from the last paragraph of this 1998 interview: An Interview with Sandra Dodd

Criticism of Learn Nothing Day: http://sandradodd.com/learnnothingday/critics


Note in 2019: The old player quit working, so I made this to replace it:

3-D Lettering!



Hallie Kasiri / Hallie McGrath wrote "For Lego Sandra!"

"Not sure if you can tell, but the tip of the first "a" is a teeny tiny little frog!"

Here's her family in their Lego artistry, and me (by Alicia Gonzalez):

Lego Wheelbarrow


Alicia Gonzalez created this Lego "sculpture" of me, and offered to send it to me. Just this week, though, I had a discussion with my daughter, Holly, about the amount of stuff I will leave for my kids to sort through and clean up when/if I don't clean it out myself. I have moved from collecting things to collecting photos. So I told Alicia that would love to have the photo, and would be honored to reside in effigy in her children's Lego box.

I'm glad to share this with everyone here, and on my wheelbarrow blog too! Thank you, Alicia. It is beautiful, and sweet.

The original, on facebook and here on the wheelbarrow blog.

Learn Nothing Day t-shirts

Years ago, on Kirby and Marty. Playing a video game. Learning nothing.

Not so long ago, Kai G. at a playground in Keith, Australia:

The shirts are still available. The markup is tiny. Once in a while I have enough credit for a mug or a shirt, (I just gave mugs to Alex Polikowsky and Pam Laricchia, for speaking in Rochester, so thanks, people who have bought shirts before.)

OR MAKE YOUR OWN with design art from here:

Make your own magnets, bumper stickers, wallpaper—I don't care. Have fun.

More of Kai that day. You won't see the front of the shirt, but you'll see what he was doing in the photo above:
