Homeschooling is legally the same thing as unschooling.
And so there's no separate designation between unschooling and homeschooling.
But unschoolers reject this word homeschool because it implies school at home.
And that conjures this image of mom teaching algebra at the kitchen table and the parent who has to be an expert in all these different subjects.
And really, most people who start out with traditional homeschooling, they migrate away from it.
There are studies that confirm this.
Within a few years, most families move towards something that looks more like eclectic homeschooling.
And some move straight into unschooling, especially with older kids.
I think younger kids are much more adult and more parent-oriented.
But as soon as you hit adolescence...
They become more peer-oriented.
And really, YouTube becomes the better teacher than mom or dad.
And so unschooling is really about embracing this whole idea of self-directed learning and saying that my kid is a self-directed learner, and I'm going to support that and nurture it.
I'm going to be their consultant instead of the boss of their education.
And we're in this together.
And that's pretty much as far as I can generalize unschooling, Debbie.
