Some people maybe unfamiliar with the term of Unschooling. But did you know that at least 100,000 kids in the US are considered “unschooled?”
An excellent book on the ideas behind unschooling is Learning All The Time by John Holt. In it he says, “Children are born passionately eager to make as much sense as they can of things around them. If we attempt to control, manipulate, or divert this process…the independent scientist in the child disappears.”
If you're interested to find out more about Unschooling, you might want to read this interview with Peter who is now almost 21 and attends University of Chicago here.
