This is a nice starting point for anyone who is considering Unschooling their child. It contains lots of anecdotal information from parents, and lots of practical information about how to comply with state guidelines and how to document (when you have to).
I expected the writing to be a little pedantic, but it wasn’t at all. This book does a nice job of demystifying Unschooling without overly glamorizing it.
Pros: Cleanly written, provides a straightforward outline of the basic concepts of Unschooling and how to start Unschooling your child.
Cons: I would have liked more comments from the Unschooled children themselves, and definitely some more information about Unschooled alumni– what happens to them in college, or as job-seekers? How is their socialization; are they able to connect with their schooled peers?
