People who feel drawn to the philosophical ideals of unschooling often ask how to unschool. While acknowledging that each family approaches the unschooling lifestyle from a unique standpoint, I offer the details of my family's experiences, along with specific advice for meeting legal requirements without sacrificing your ideals. Let's imagine a life without school! In the absence of school, what do children do? They play. That is, they do what brings them joy. They do what calls to them. They do what they need to do to get from point A to point B, learning useful skills along the way. Let's imagine a life of unlimited possibilities! Unschooling parents and their children live and learn together, helping each other, making discoveries, solving mysteries, and sharing adventures. Ready to have some fun?

By William D.
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My wife and I absolutely loved this book. We're homeschool parents and have been researching various learning styles including the newest trend--'unschooling.' Sara McGrath presents a practical guide for parents to follow when choosing the 'unschooling natural learning' method for their children. She covers everything--from suggestions as to how to overcome initial fears and doubts to recordkeeping and meeting the educational legal requirements of your state. She also includes a multitude of 'unschooling' and homeschool resources for parents as well. This book is definitely a must in every homeschool family's bookshelf--whether you opt to 'unschool' or homeschool, the information McGrath offers is extremely valuable--a wonderful book!

Ground-breaking introduction
Oct 7 2010

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sara McGrath lays out a short easy to read introduction to homeschooling as well as unschooling. There are tons of resources listed in it to get your children started in a more respectful way of learning. One that doesn't promote low esteem or constantly felt like they're under a microscope. There are many delightful examples of how unschooling works. Let's face it, compulsory schooling fails because it's a directly inproportional to self-motivated learning.
