In some cases. But by this definition, a school may require a
certain number of course to be completed, but the student decides
which ones. To me, unschooling means providing the resources to
allow a student to follow their own interests and the parent/staff
member there to facilitate that learning. At Cascade Valley
School, I am facilitating a reading group on the book "The Tao of
Physics". This would most likely never be a class "offered"
anywhere. It was the idea of the students in the school to study
this.

Obviously, one must at least put options out there, but one must
also not constrict to certain options, fostering the independent
intellectual freedom of the child.
