Have you every worried about unschooling your teen? As a parent of an unschooling teen, many questions and concerns can sometimes swirl around in one’s mind. Parents sometimes worry that their child will not be equipped to face the outside world and its challenges. But what many parents sometimes forget is that their unschooled teen has already been living in the real world and experiencing real life!
The confinement of an institution is not learning, it is schooling and does not cater to the needs of a teen, but to the requirements of a system. Unschooling

May 18, 2017 at 7:07 pmI have found in my family’s home school journey that when unschooling a teen their interests take them into the core subjects, but at a much deeper level. We made the change from classical style to unschooling and we have found a much closer family that is always learning. Thank you for your article.

We’ve spent way to much money to find out that the girls like writing in their journals, picking out their own workbooks from book stores, and also by picking out books from the library. With this economy we have become very frugal and creative with our methods of learning. The internet is awesome as I’m sure all of you are sure.
Thanks so much for all of the inspiring words. They mean so much.
