As a homeschooler, I can't tell you how many people i have run into that feel our son is getting no education at all. I am college educated. I have a BA in Comparative Theology and an AS in Elementary Education. My husband is equally educated. So, when someone hears us say our son is homeschooled, they ask how. We say we use a Waldorf Inspired Interest Led curriculum (which sounds really great until....). They say "huh" and we say "he is being unschooled, but has a daily routine because he is Autistic and it works for him." They go from thinking everything is wonderful to we are horrible people, lazy, and that child will never learn anything other than picking his nose and how to use his tablet. My point is, I am so glad you did this TED. That you explained it in a way that needs to be done. Thank you.

We unschooled our daughter in the later 80's through "high school". John Holt was one of my mentors. It was absolutely a grand experiment! Unschooling is a lifestyle that is creative for the whole family. Great presentation!

Seems we could take unschooling to another level by having a network of apprenticeships for teens. Different parents of unschooled teenagers could coordinate to allow other people's kids to work with them if their career aligns with the teen's interests.

I am now in 2 bands, traveling the world, and living on a boat (which I set out to do at age 17). So thankful that my parents were supportive of my decision to leave.

As someone who has received tradicional education and went on to graduate from architecture school and to this days still sucks at math, I realize I have studied so many things I didn’t have to learn. Like biology, chemistry... maybe basic algebra and geometry for the university course I chose. But I could have done that bit by myself preparing for it. On the other hand I have more knowledge on history, geography and languages than my general peers.

This is cool. I learn this way now, as an adult. Best thing ever. I'm constantly engaged, thoroughly entertained and I make good conversation generally speaking, as I have a lot of interesting things I can usually talk about! Highly recommend doing this, at any age. Just have a passion to learn and you'll never be bored.

I've always felt so trapped at school artistically and that the teachers don't notice me at all. It's like I'm just another kid, and then they make you feel bad when you get a bad grade instead of further helping you in the subject.

Hello, by this year I believe your child is 7 yo. How is s/he? Still unschooling? My son is 8yo now and we're walking in Unschooling path now.

I unschool one and homeschool another. Both have multiple diagnoses. My then 11 year old by had severe difficulty reading but in one year of playing Minecraft he not only taught himself but exceeded the lexile of his peers in ability. He needed to read so he learnt to read. The need to know is a far more effective motivator than "being told to". At present, he is all about gaming (at 13). Previous obsessions have included marine biology of the tidal and intra-tidal zones, fossils, dinosaurs (of course), mythology of the world, and many others. Should he decide on a career that needs further education, he can learn material in many ways, sit many exams, gain entry to college and go from there. He knows there is a chance he will need to engage with formal education but he doesn't need to be there yet. My daughter, the homeschooler, is creative. She isn't academic at all and her diagnoses would make it difficult for her to be academic. Instead, she dances, she sings, she vlogs, she creates musicals, she paints. All to a higher-than-peer level standard. My kids are doing just fine. Is it for every child? I wish but probably not for a very long time. We only have one working parent and he can work from home a lot. By the way, our kids are adopted and we are nearing 60 and both are the product of very traditional educations so it isn't as if we didn't consider that for our children. trexgamer, thank you for entering the discussion. I am amazed at adults that took time out of their day to criticise you for your spelling - keep powering on!

Even if a child is not met with an engaging and rich environment, as long as the child is not being abused, they will still learn and explore the world and learn. Kids are naturally driven to learn. They will use the resources they DO have to learn. Unschooling is about recognizing that not all kids will learn all the same information and not all at the same age/pace/etc. So a child that is limited when young, will still yearn to learn and once old enough to enrich their own learning experience, they will excell because of that thirst. However, intentional unschoolers will do their best to enrich the environment of the child.

Luckily for this example, this is a new and scary approach for almost any parent and I do think most parents who can't handle that would already have or choose to switch their kids to traditional school.

I was kind of unschooled. My mom said we were 'homeschool' but after learning to read, write, add, and subtract I had to take care of the house and 7 siblings for most of my teenage years and it was like no one ever thought I would grow up and need an education or want to do anything else besides cooking, cleaning and child-rearing. As soon as I found out what a GED was I got my GED. So my question and the thing I wondering is how does an unschooled person (whether through design or neglect) get into a college? Is there a way to get scholarships when you are an unschooled person with no grades on record to show?

+Slayer Princess That doesn't sound like you were unschooled, it sounds like you just weren't schooled. Unschooling involves nurturing the child's interest and providing them with the resources to pursue those interests. Most unschoolers who decide to go to college do so by first taking classes at community colleges, usually you just need to provide the information that you were homeschooled and then take a placement exam. After two years in a community college you then have the ability to transfer to a 4 year university without needing transcripts or SAT scores. It is possible to go straight into a four year university, just like a community college you would take a placement exam and notify the university you were homeschooled and therefore don't have transcripts. The only difference is that you would then need to take the SAT or ACT. A lot of unschoolers (at the least the ones I've met) tend to find traditional schooling to be a waste of time, though, and choose not go to college, instead they start businesses or find internships and they are just as successful, if not more so, than their peers with degrees. One of the reasons unschoolers tend to be successful without a college degree is they've spent their entire lives nurturing their interests and often become experts on certain subjects. They generally will know more about that subject than someone who went to school for it because it was forced on them in a classroom, they discovered it on their own. Unschoolers also often spend more time out in the "real world" from an early age, interacting with people of all ages and therefore becoming skilled conversationalists, especially with adults. I've heard time after time that unschooled children are often far more mature than their traditional schooled peers and they have developed life skills that others have not because they've had the opportunity to live life, rather than read about it from a classroom.

I think coercive education was instituted more for purposes of class dominance in and of itself than out of any sort of necessity. Public schools ARE fundamentally bad. They are there to damage children and inhibit their intellectual development, controlling them mainly through fear and humiliation, whether implied, threatened, or actual. Good intentions on the part of teachers can't really fix this. I understand this woman's need to sooth the emotions of her audience, as you have to consider their wiring, but it needs to be said.

Children get into routines so if they’re not used to having self motivation they won’t bother whereas unschooled kids do have more self motivation as their routine is different because the work that they do is out of interest and they always look for ways it could benefit themselves or others!

They are both flawed and bad high IQ kids/young adults almost always do well in life despite their learning environment or history abuse for the most part. So it's about what school you go to if your high IQ, but if your low government school helps you very little. It's deeply flawed. "And the modern education system provided just that. It turned an illiterate population into a literate population."- Ciation needed were they illiterate? If so what makes you think that was the only purpose of the Prussian model? And is the Prussian model suitable for children who wish to be free not closed in with people they don't know for 7 hours a day not able to bond with their parents during that time? Is it moral to just leave your kids with other people for 7 hours a day for years if you have any other choice?

What an incredibly naive speaker. Perhaps if she had been schooled properly, she would have a grasp of basic mathematics and would understand the concept of the student-teacher ratio. Even now, there is a dire shortage of knowledgeable people willing to teach children. She is proposing a system in which pretty much every individual child would need their own individual teacher, in order to guide them when their interests diverged from the interests of their peers. Most adults would have to be educators, and so every area of work other than education would collapse. Furthermore, the vast majority of these new educators would be unsuited for such a role. Educational standards would plummet. Literacy would plummet. There would be no safeguards against every religious fundamentalist, climate change denier, and flat-earther passing on their delusional beliefs to their children. Yes, such people raise children now, but currently many of those children are educated alongside people from different backgrounds who will challenge those beliefs, giving them a reasonable chance of breaking free of their parents' delusions. A world in which unschooling were the norm would be a world of illiterate wingnuts - even more than it is today. It would be an awful world to live in.

You know, they have no time for things like teaching their kids and rather outsource it to someone else. Don't you know? How on earth would they be able to pay off that sweet 6 bedroom they can't really afford? Need to put in that 9-6 until retirement. But maybe they just made shitty choices in life and now need to have 3 subpar jobs just to make ends meet. Either way, their kids suffer in hands of others and barely know who their parents are.

clamjuice Drop the sarcasm and the baseless fantasising. It's neither funny nor clever. Oh no, wait. Without the sarcasm and the baseless fantasising, your comment is literally empty. Never mind.
