Home School Philosophy - Unschooling

This was a surprise to me, when I first thought about blogging the Unschooling Home School Philosophy.  It's always been a hard philosphy for some people to understand, but the more you learn about it, the more you realise it could work for some families.  (I will say that a friend and I have discussed Unschooling a time or two and think that if a parent is unschooling *effectively*, they might work harder than other parents with other home school philosophies.)

Here are some links with definitions and information if you are interested in learning more:

Many questions can be answered by checking this website out:  Unschooling.com

This was an interesting essay to read:  Developing a Home School Philosohy - The Unschool Mambo

AND I absolutely LOVE this website:  Almost Unschoolers  She is such an amazing home educating mommy - and does so many fun, educational activities with her 4 children.   VERY inspiriing to read.  She shares here:  What About Gaps?

I'd encourage every Home Educator OR Home Educating wanna be, to spend some time thinking about Home School philosophies and which one (or mixture of two) suits your family the best.  The time you spend doing that IS very worthwhile!
