Doin' What Comes Naturally

I was at the piano singing "Doin' what comes from Naturally" from Annie get your gun. Aseem and Supriya would chime in on the repeat of the chorus. Then it struck me (and Manisha too, quite independently). That's what we have for our educational philosophy!

Now we call ourselves unschoolers. It's a rather unfortunate name that has stuck. It's trying to describe a process or a philosophy in terms of what it is not. So here's a better term for it: we "do what comes naturally". Thanks to Irving Berlin for that!

I am working on expanding this into a whole article using insights from Prof. Martin Seligman ("Authentic Happiness") and John Buckingham ("Now Discover Your Strengths").
