    I am A Lazy Mom – The Truth About Unschooling

    Unschooling happens without the use of curriculum, testing, schedules and grades. Am I a lazy Mom? Here is the truth about unschooling.

When you decide to homeschool, be prepared.   Homeschooling is becoming more common, but it is still not the norm in society. Most of my generation, in my area, grew up in the public school system.  I know more people who went to private school than I do who were homeschooled as children.  Homeschooling just wasn’t that common of a form of education when I was in school.
