Are there any Adult unschoolers?

I know we're all unschoolers. What I mean is, does anyone have
children (or have you?) that have grown up in an unschooling
situation? Or is unschooling too new for that? If they (you) have
done this, I'm curious as to what type work you do for a living, if
you went to college or chose another route...we've been unschooling
for about 3 years now and wouldn't do it any other way. Just thought
it would be fun to find out the different avenues people chose when
they weren't hampered by public school.

I am also very interested in hearing about any people who have grown
up with unschooling:) I have not met, except online, any other
unschooling families. Normally I'm a lurker, but am so curious about
this subject that I made an exception.

Didn't Sandra's Conference say that she will have a soap star that was
brought up unschooled?

Quo Vadis -- a camp for unschoolers who are "moving on" into adulthood --
most are in their 20's. Quo Vadis means somethng like "Where to now?" This is
their first year - it is composed of former Not-Back-to-School Camp kids who
are getting older and want to support each other as they go off into their
different directions -- college, career, or whatever. My daughter will
probably be the youngest. She's traveling for several weeks -- including the
week at Quo Vadis - visiting her friends in Northern California, Oregon, and
Washington. She made all the arrangements herself - including trains, busses,
planes, and shuttles -- and who is picking her up and where she is staying,
etc. This is VERY common for unschooling kids - to take time to travel
whenever possible. I think it is a wonderful way for them to really exercise
their competence and ability to handle themselves, independently.

confident in her ability to manage it, too)

Hi April,
I am Bill, Diane's husband, Diane sometimes does post on unschool brd.
You might find some interest in knowing that Thomas Jefferson and Thomas
Paine (Sp?) were homeschoolers. A fun comment made by JFK when a few Noble
Winners were seated for dinner at the white house was that:
"There has not been so much tallent in the white house since one night when
Thomas Jefferson ate alone." My estimation is that was a correct statement.
