A Mother/Daughter Journey into Unschooling.
Garrett, Linda; Garrett, Katie
Paths of Learning: Options for Families & Communities, n10 p8-10 Aut 2001
A mother (Linda) and daughter (Katie) tried a cooperative "unschool," public school, home schooling, private school, and returned to unschooling. Linda feels that public school compromises creativity and freedom too much, but she had trouble letting go of the structure. Katie says unschooling let her enjoy her relationship with her mother, focus on writing and art, and volunteer in the community. (TD)
