Hey everyone!
I have made posts here semi-regularly about a tool I have been working on to try and make education more personalized, as this was the biggest thing I felt was missing when I started homeschooling(with a very strong unschooling vibe) about 3 years ago. I felt like I had just left the public school system just to get a knock-off of the same curriculum, rebadged as 'homeschooling'. I think technology, and the unrestricted paradigm of homeschooling/unschooling, can do so much more for students in how they learn than has been done so far. If TikTok and YouTube can personalize dumb v ..read more

Hi all! I'm Ben, I'm a 19 year old grown unschooler and filmmaker. I'm writing here because I attended Not Back To School Camp last year and it was a truly wonderful, and dare I say, life changing experience. It brought a wonderful community of people and a new range of new experiences into my life! I would sincerely recommend it other unschoolers. They're in the early bird state of sign-ups right now, so I would definitely check it out if you may be interested. Happy to answer any questions based on my personal experience : )

Hey Everyone!
I am a 17-year-old homeschooled student working on making a tool for homeschoolers. I am trying to drill down on what is most important to be working on to improve the tool: What's the biggest hurdle with your homeschooling/unschooling experience as it relates to shaping your kids' intellectual/character development? This is a reoccurring theme when talking to both parents and kids, a disconnect here, so is there anything that would be useful to help solve this?
If you can spare a sentence of feedback, I would GREATLY appreciate it :)

I wanted to share Learnyx, an AI-powered reading app that enables children to read about any topic at any reading level, resulting in deeply personalized reading experiences.
As a parent you can easily see what your child is reading about, create assignments to guide their learning and track their performance.
Right now Learnyx is offering a free beta for families and is looking for feedback on how to improve the platform.
If you’re interested in trying out a cutting-edge app like this, you should sign up!

So I am a neurodiveregent mother of a n adult neurodiveregent child. I unschooled for kindergarten and first grade, and homeschooled for 2-7, and my son then decided to go to public highschool and graduated with his peer group. I let my son have a say in all of the curriculum we choose, although it was like pulling teeth trying to align his interests with the core curriculum requirements in at least a couple of subjects each year. I want to create lessons and curriculum that is so hands on, so exciting, so fun, that kids will want to do it. I think that developing lifelong love of learning is ..read more

LOL. I know, it's a weird question since unschoolers are everywhere.
HOWEVER, we must certainly admit - there are more in some places than others. We happen to live in an area where we are very isolated and lonely. We are looking for places (in the US) where there are small (or dare I wish for medium?!) unschooling communities. Likely going to be centered around a Sudbury or SDE school/program and that would be great! We are hungry for community and LOVE those school models and would be open to that! Please tell me, where can we go where there won't just be 5 unschoolers and my kids can actua ..read more

My sister told me you guys would have the best advice. I'm applying for an apprenticeship which specifies it does not require a degree, and even has a whole section in their FAQ about understanding diverse education backgrounds, and I do technically meet every single requirement laid out...but it is also very high paying--a whopping $60 an hour full time--at a huge game development company, and I didn't finish high school and never got a GED.
My grandpa suggested I leave my education out of the resume entirely, but sources online are telling me that this will get my application thrown out. Wh ..read more
