Thanks for sharing. I’m not sure what we’d do without The Trillium School. But, yeah, we’d probably figure something out too. There’s always summer camp.

Thank you for a refreshing take on the socialization question. This is in fact something that has been on my mind for a while. We are unschooling our daughter; but I don’t want her to become unable to seperate herself from me as she grows older, as I have seen homeschooled children suffer from. Sadly for us, there is no unschooling school solution, so I think we’ll just have to come up with that ourselves.

That’s wonderful you have the option of support groups and time for her to go out on her own. I agree that’s what unschooling is about too: letting them go to school if they want to. That can be a tough one. Thanks for contributing!

I’ve just always let my daughter decide if and when and where she wants to go to school. That is part of unschooling too, letting your child make his or her own decisions. She didn’t want to go to school for the most part, but she was alwys spending tons of time outside of my house and away from me. But we are lucky to have a huge support groups here with some parents taking other peoples kids. I guess when you have an only child and are a single parent, keeping her home all the time is never an option from the beginning.
