Benefits of Unschooling

Every time I see something like this, I delight in the fact that, although our adventures haven't taken us this far, yet, we have allowed ourselves the possibility to be wild, in our choice to unschool the kids. Check out this father and son team who sent a video camera into space. So inspiring!

  1. Hi Emily!

    Great project, wasn't? Sure hope to do something like that down the road as well. BTW, I was trying to figure out where it mentions unschooling, but no luck - Do home projects in general fall under that?

  2. Hello! No -- unschooling is just a method of homeschooling... or of living, if you do it like we do. Some people call it radical unschooling. But I just wanted to point out that having the lifestyle that we've chosen happily enables us to do more exciting projects... partly because we've made a commitment to do them. I don't think this father/son team mentioned it at all, specifically.
