I'm not sure I get what the basic differences are.

Basically an unschooler is a homeschooler who does not use "text books'
to learn but generally are more traditional in other areas of say tv,
computer time, bedtine, chores, friends, styles stuff like that

Radical unschooling is trusting your child in ALL areas of life not
just schooling- they eat when hungry and sleep when tired and "learn"
by living daily life. The concept of freedom is applies to ALL of life
and to all members of the family

Thank You, that is what I thought. I was recently talking about having a movie night on one of my local homeschooling groups. One woman (who says she is a radical unschooler) said that she probably would not come because she is really picky about what her kids watch. That just confused the heck out of me. I'd imagine unschoolers/radical unschoolers are like the rest of the planet, a diverse bunch, but limiting tv/and radical unschooling just did not seem to go in the same sentence to me. And of course it got me thinking about what the difference between radical unschoolers and unschoolers is. Of course if I asked a 100 people, I would probably get a 100 different answers. It seems everyone I talk to has a different view on exactly what Unschooling is.

Thanks!!
Lol, your definition fits me so well as I sit here and listen to my almost ten year old ramble...

I can't think of any discussion that has ever come up since knowing they were with me, that they
weren't included in. ~~15 minute pause while we debate the value of leather ~ For example:
When I was expecting my first, my spouse didn't want to know the sex, soooo, I mentioned the
appointment but let him know he didn't have to come....so he didn't...I *felt* I already knew, but why not?
He threatened me that I'd better not have found out so I smiled and walked away.
When it came to baby names, he refused to address the topic towards boys names so I told him if
it was a boy unless he said different, he would have his name. So Then I was left to figure out a girls name.
Many were rolled over the tongue, a few jotted down and tasted a few times, none grabbed.

Then one day when I was about six months along, we were discussing names and her father came up with
Caylee. So being me, I asked my baby-to-be if she liked the name Caylee. It was the ONLY time I got this
positive rap, kinda like saying,'Yes! Yes! That's my name!' So she is named.

I have been wondering too. That explains so much! I
was so confused when I met other unschoolers and then
found out that they limit their kids in things like
TV, food etc. etc. So I guess I am a Radical now,
YEAh!
Thanks!
