Choosing to unschool is confronting.
The choice might seem easy – just don’t send your child to school.
From that perspective, yes, not having the morning stress routine of waking a sleepy child, making breakfast, packing lunches, walk to school (or if you’re unlucky, a traffic jammed commute) is a blessing.
But I’ve grown up in a mainstream world where it’s assumed that school is compulsory (it’s not) and that the only way to learn how to read and write and everything in between is at school (again, it’s not).
