carrie mcdonald, you say your children have been home schooled, but have they been unschooled? is there a difference? >> the difference is home schooling and unschooled, are both alternatives to school, outside of a conventional classroom. but, with unschooled, it is focused on self directed education. if we think about unschooled it's distancing education from schooling, including, school at home methods, and homeschooling. so, sort of a stereotypical version of home schooling, where you might have a parent sitting around the kitchen table, with textbooks, replicating school at home. i challenge, that a little bit, in this book, and suggest you don't need to replicate school at home, even in home schooling models, that you can encourage children's natural curiosity, and creativity, and, as a parent, connect those interests, and passions, that your children naturally have to available community resources of people, places, and things. >> how do you get to the basics of teaching math, and reading literacy, to children in an unschooled environment >>. i make the point very clearl
