Thanks for writing this article the more understanding we can get out into the community the better.

When I began all home educators were all called unschoolers. Around 2005 we saw home educators relabelling their style to make their approach explainable in a nutshell.

Many home educators wanted the best of both worlds - some structured and unstructured learning, they called the unstructured learning part of their day natural learning. I fell into that category.

All my kids are now grown up. None have an HSC. All  went to uni at 16; one of them got his Masters at 21. I have a doctor, an animator, a charity worker and an entrepreneur. We did a four day week with academics in the morning and free learning in the afternoon. More of my story is here. https://www.myhomeschool.com.au/unschooling-in-australia/
