A list designed for those new to the philosophy of whole-life (or "radical") unschooling. Ask experienced whole-life unschoolers all those niggling questions, and find out how it works in real families, across all aspects of life.

If you're familiar with radical unschooling in theory, but unsure of how to begin or wondering how living without chores, bedtimes or imposed limits on electronics and food really looks like, this is a place for you to discuss, question, ponder and become deeply familiar with natural learning and how it affects our entire lives. From parenting issues to learning from the whole wide world and beyond, come explore the issues that unschooling families have dealt with in the past and how to get beyond "school-think" to a joyful unschooling lifestyle!

Whole life/radical unschooling goes well beyond ideas of “teachable moments” and “the world as your classroom” to a view of learning as an inherent part of life itself. If you aren’t familiar with radical unschooling, you’ll find a wealth of basic information here:

Newcomers to the philosophy of radical unschooling are encouraged to ask questions, but please take some time to read and get a "feel" for the list before posting. Whole life unschooling goes so far beyond academics that it involves a whole different approach to family relationships. Everything you think you know is about to be questioned.
