    This article attempts to explain the difference between unschooling and homeschooling…

    “Is your mom your teacher?” they ask my daughter when she says she is homeschooled. “No, I teach myself,” she says. It is a comment that confuses most people.

    Holt didn’t coin the word “unschooling” to describe child-led learning — it was simply his word for “not going to school”. (Remember the un-cola?) It has taken on the more narrow meaning over time.

    Otherwise a pretty decent explanation of the method.
