Independent learning suggests ideas such as “self-taught,” or “autodidact.” These imply that independence means working solo. But that’s just not how it happens. People don’t learn in isolation. When I talk about independent learners, I don’t mean people learning alone. I’m talking about learning that happens independent of schools.

Anyone who really wants to learn without school has to find other people to learn with and from. That’s the open secret of learning outside of school. It’s a social act. Learning is something we do together.

Independent learners are interdependent learners.

do not worry
about ending up alone
because someday
someone will fall for you
like you’ve been falling for strangers on the bus
and the way people look when they think no one is watching
and the sprinkling of freckles on shoulders
for years
someone is going to know that you hate iced tea
and…

The now is our self. We are not present in the now. We are the now. The now is not a container that contains our self along with everything else. It is our self, eternal presence.
