This Unschooling Conference Cruise is like nothing you have ever seen or experienced before! Whether you are just exploring Unschooling, or you are an experienced Radical Unschooling family, this conference cruise is a life changing and life affirming experience.

This ship is one of the newest and best in the Royal Caribbean fleet. This leading-edge line of Cruise ships happens to be the same Royal Caribbean line of ships that Nickelodeon Cruises uses. Can you say perfect for a group of wild, free, joy-lovin’ families?!

This cruise is not only perfect for families, it is also ideal for teens and young adults who want to travel to four countries/islands and experience something new and fabulous!

Travel, Freedom, Community of Kindness, Respect and Love, and the Joy of creating memories that your children will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

Living on a boat for a week gives you a different perspective on life and the world itself. You can actually see and feel how much water is out there – how huge the ocean is – and by sailing on it, you gain such reverence for the earth in a new way.

Give your family as big of a world as possible: travel and see new places, different cultures, learn, grow and explore together … with your Unschooling tribe!

My family is definitely not the most organized, so I was very excited to be chosen to review her system.  I immediately started reading the manual and a few things stood out for me. One of the first things that was very clear is how passionate Sue Patrick is about homeschooling and organization. At times, for me, it was a little too dogmatic for my taste.

As with all things, I modified some of her systems to fit into my household and was pleasantly surprised by the results. One of her suggestions has really eliminated a lot of my need to repeat (over and over and over again) what needs to be accomplished for each day. She suggests really great visual cues for the kids so that instead of asking me about it all they have to do is look and see for themselves. And the physical component for transitioning from one subject to the next was also quite helpful.  To see an example of how the Workbox works, click here to watch the video.

The Workbox System ebook is very inexpensive, only $19.  There are also starter packages for people who don’t want to create their centers and other setup materials from scratch. These range from $55 to $110. The Workbox Specialized and Structured Teaching System Package is $375 (plus $18 for shipping) which includes a classroom kit, a large sampling of fun learning centers based on your child’s level and curriculum, recommendations for improving your current curriculum, and 6 months of unlimited email-based consulting.  There may also be some telephone consulting on a case-by-case basis.

I think that for any parent wanting to get organized, this system is very well thought out, pretty easy to follow and effective. I personally won’t be using the system in it’s entirety because of a few differing ideas on what homeschool should be like. For example, I enjoy the chatter that goes on during our homeschooling days, Ms. Patrick  feels it’s an unnecessary time-waster. And while I admit that chit-chat doesn’t make my homeschooling any shorter, I definitely find it to be a pleasant experience. Although I wish to get things accomplished, I’m not really the bootcamp type of parent.
