I think so, to, but don't want to assume.
No, I'm talking about unschooling, which is a semi-specific form of education. To my knowledge they don't do much worse than kids who go to government school. Maybe they rarely succeed at a high level, but that's true of government schooled kids, too, and for vastly greater cost.

Interesting. I am going to have to do some research on this. I have never heard of unschooling before. @TNStacker you?

No. Reading now.

Then you are both about to surpass my knowledge on the topic. Let me know what you learn.

Reads like a form of homeschooling to me

Yes, it's a form of homeschooling, but most homeschooling isn't unschooling. Also, I suppose it doesn't have to be done via homeschooling.
It's sort of like how a square is both a rhombus and a rectangle, but in general rhombuses are not rectangles.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think it is quite right. Unschooling is a form of homeschooling, so Homeschooling isn't necessarily unschooling, but unschooling is homeschooling.

I might have had a misconception about it then. I thought it was strictly an education methodology that hypothetically could be done by a private un-school or even a government un-school.

I think we are getting off topic. I said that public schools are better than no education. Unschool is a type of education, as homeschooling is another type.

In that case, I'd say that there's no such thing as no education. We're pattern seeking animals and learning is involuntary.

What I mean is in a general sense of schooling. Of course people are able to learn and manage life through their experiences.
