Unschooling is what happens when human beings learn outside the four walls of a school building, at the time and place of their choosing and with the subjects and materials of their choice. It is when children are not forced to learn according to some pre-determined timetable or set of learning objectives. It is a form of education which takes into account and fulfills each child's individual needs and goals, and trusts in the ability of each child to direct his or her own education. It is creative, spontaneous, and remarkable...unlike a structured school education." 02-06 Unschooling Compared to Homeschooling (Web-Enrichmnet.com) "John Holt is considered the father of unschooling and the person who coined the term. In Holt's early writings, he seemed to hold out hope that the school system could be fixed, but he later became more convinced that parents were better off taking their kids out of schools. I imagine that it then seemed natural to him to refer to the process of not sending your kids to school as unschooling, as in not schooling." "While the terms may have been interchangeable originally, that is no longer the case today. Unschooling has become associated with the particular style of homeschooling in which no set curriculum is used. Where the split originated is hard to say, but part of the reason for the division is probably because of the words themselves. Homeschooling carries an implication of schooling-at-home, while unschooling connotes that what you are doing is the opposite of school. People who accepted the teaching techniques of school but wanted more control over the subject matter, socialization, or morals that their children were exposed to might readily accept the term homeschooling. People who disliked the teaching techniques and environment of school might be more inclined to use the term unschooling." 02-06 Unschooling Essays (Unschooling.com) "Come explore unschooling.com, where parents and children have learned to trust themselves and each other!" 02-06
