First of all, this list exists to discuss the philosophy of
unschooling not tell you how to deal with legalities. Also, this list
has members from all over the U.S. and other countries so we couldn't
possibly answer any of the above questions without knowing more.

And lastly, unschooling is a form of homeschooling so you need to know
the homeschool law of your region or state. Unschooling costs whatever
you want to spend in order to entertain you and your children's
interests and passions.

Please read more about unschooling and find out your state laws. If
you give us more information about where you are, people here could
direct you to other websites or legal information so you can educate
yourself. We are not here to discuss legalities or state specific
information though, so conversation about that will need to happen
offlist. Thank you.

Katie, why are you in a desperate situation? Even most school-at-
homers take the summer off.

First of all, what state are you in? You should definitely look at
the law in your particular state, since all states differ. And there
may be someone here from your state who could recommend a more local
list for that sort of thing.

If you look at the left side of the page here at unschoolingbasics,
you can click on the Links and there you'll find lots of places to
read more about unschooling.

As far as cost and how to start, that is up to you. Unschooling is
basically living life doing what you and your kid/s enjoy. Maybe if
you can give some more detail, we can help with more specific answers.

Use whatever $$$ you have left to go on vacation.

Seriously, find the homeschool laws in your state.

Then just do "Step 3" <g> Go on vacation.

Katie, are you already homeschooling? If so, you don't
need to contact anyone. As far as the state is
concerned unschooling is a form of homeschooling. It's
a form that officials don't like. So most of us in
states that have strict reporting guidelines don't say
"unschooling" anywhere in our reporting. You should
find a local group to get details on reporting etc.

These questions make me think that you know absolutely
nothing about unschooling. Start by reading some
articles at these sites:

http://www.unschooling.info/articles.htm

Joyce's site : http://joyfullyrejoycing.com/

Sandra Dodd's site:
http://sandradodd.com/unschooling.html

There are also books on the subject:
The Unschooling Handbook by Mary Griffith is a book
that covers all the basics.
