    Unschooling happens without the use of curriculum, testing, schedules and grades. Am I a lazy Mom? Here is the truth about unschooling. Because I put my life on the internet, people feel the need to comment on me as a person even though they have only watched one YouTube video or seen one Instagram post.

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.
