Just ran across this concept the other day and think it's
fascinating. Let me ask this... in order to homeschool our state says
you need to contact the local school district. I did and there was no
hassle involved or anything, they'll just ask for a few bits of info
when you plan to make the switch, and were quite supportive. However,
they want a general description of the material to be taught through
the year and what cirriculum (if using a store-bought) you were
following. At the end of the year you have to do some sort of
progress evaluation (see a teacher or other options).

So if you are un-schooling and are letting life be the teacher, what
do I tell them? I apologize if I miss the whole point of un-
schooling, but I haven't seen much in the posts I've read about books
or cirriculum, etc, but lots on day to day life experiences.

Thanks for the help!

Hi, here is a link that you can't miss... it's a great curriculum
outline for unschoolers! :)

What state are you in? Ours says you have to work throught he schools district too---but then you read on
and find out you have two OTHER options.
Maybe someone here is already unschooling in your state and can give you contact info.

Books are a part of an unschooling life, but a curriculum is *not*. Unschooling IS about day-to-day life
experiences! <g> If you need a curriculum (and some states DO want you to produce one), there are two
that unschoolers use. Check out Sandra Dodd's site: www.SandraDodd.com/unschooling
