**I read a little bit about unschooling, but am still unsure about how
and if it really works.**

Well, one point, which is pretty easy to grasp, is that learning can
take place in your home or community *even if* there are no worksheets
produced to turn in to the school.

I'm not sure how much the school funding system is different in Canada
from what I'm used to in the U.S., but here the independent study system
is (foolishly?) built around the idea that it's important to have flat
samples to submit to the school for their files.

PS Going to the archives for this Yahoo group and reading some of the
threads with interesting titles is another way to accelerate your
understanding of unschooling.

PPS Can anyone remind me how the list of "unschooling is..." phrases
was generated by Google? Is all you need to do to put the phrase
"unschooling is" in the search field? Or is there some other button you
have to click? Thanks.
