unschooling part time and other questions....
squeakybiscuit
Right now we are enrolled in a cyber charter. It takes my kids about
an hour per day to do school. Some days we don't do school at all if
we are busy with other things, some days it takes a little longer.
Was wondering if someone could adopt an unschooling lifestyle in
addition to continuing to do the carters requirements. It leaves 23
hours in a day for more natural learning.
Was also wondering how one would do high school transcripts for
college admission as an unschooler?
Also, would like to know if any of you have grown kids that are in
successful careers (with or without college.) Do they regret
unschooling or are they happy with that choice? Are there any gaps
in their education? (I think there are many gaps in mine, a public
school education).
I ordered two John Holt books from my local library, and I should
get them in a few weeks (They were checked out) Been reading
Sandra's website, and thinking...
I kind of think it sounds good, but am hesitant for these higher
grades. They seem to be fine even though we did no schoolwork for a
few years. Not sure what I would report to the state (in PA,
portfolios with work samples required), and not sure how I would
explain it to others. Also worried that when they grow up they will
hate me for it.
