That's not how I define "radical unschooler," and I've been calling
myself one for many years now, mostly as a way to differentiate what
we do from what sometimes passes for unschooling amongst the unaware.
When I know I'm with people who understand the meaning of the word
I'm just a plain ol' unschooler.

But sending a kid off to find their own resources and figure it out
themselves? Sounds cold.
