My family was at this campout and two of my kids are in the photo,
far left top and bottom. Just wanted to share a good unschooling article
with quotes from unschooled kids/teens and parents. ~Kathy


Hey campers!

Many of you talked to the UC Santa Cruz reporter who was doing the
article about unschooling. Well, here's the link to the article:

I thought it was pretty darn good except for one slightly mangled
quote from me and the fact that she painted HSC and the campout as an
unschooler's gathering. I sent her a clarification (see below). (I
thought I had made it clear that it was a homeschoolers campout but
there would be many unschoolers there but I guess that got lost. I
was just excited that we'd be in her neck of the woods and she could
interview people in person.)
