Unschooling and Radical Unschooling
Sarah Holden
"Radical" modifies the word unschooling, makes it different than (regular) unschooling.

I am a very new member of this list and am in the phase of reading and learning. I hope it's not too soon to post this question but Joyce's recent comment made me wonder.
How would you (veterans on this list) describe the difference between unschooling and radical unschooling? Is it a matter of taking unschooling principles and applying them to everything (house rules, food, bedtime,etc) or is it something more or something completely different?
I appreciate your thoughts and also---if I'm asking a question too soon please tell me!

Radical from "radix" or root - and the root of unschooling is learning. The principles of how people learn don't change between learning to read and learning about social skills and responsibility.
The following link is nice in that it says "principles of unschooling" but you'll see every point is about learning:
http://sandradodd.com/pam/principles
So it's not so much "applying the principles of unschooling" as seeing learning in everything and therefore the principles apply.
