The life framework

is a set of frame and guidelines providing a THINKING framework to plan children’s lives.

These are a collection of facts and opionions which are of course, subject to change if there’s a logical and rational arguement after discussions amongst various key stakeholders.

This can only act as an aid and advise on what should be done with children. And tries to make a childhood stakeholder (govt/parent/others) THINK on what should be done.

It is based on philosophical principles and scientific observations. And tries to match it with realities and probable solutions.

Do not take the “solutions” verbatim. Because that’s “schooling”.

The points covered in Life framework are as follows:

Lifeculum is not curriculum what to learn. But a certain set of guidelines and philosophies on how to design a life for your child after taking him out of schooling system.

What i have learnt is, that the most “alternative” schools can be very much “mainstream”. And many children who take schooling lessons are actually

What differentiates schooling from unschooling is freedom and autonomy. To treat children more like human rather than machines.

It is a flexible set of guidelines on how you can CURE your child of ill effects of unschooling and design your OWN life that is unique to your child and its needs.

While in our basics section we go into the current system in our lifeculum section we are providing with an alternative system for you to follow.

But bewarned. This system is NOT a use it as is, Spoon feeding approach. And if you are looking for something like that you can copy and replicate.

Look elsewhere! this is probably not for you.

Treat these are mere suggestions and guidelines. And use them at your own wit will and need and critical educated mind.
