Exploring Unschooling

I am a parent to an 11 year old and I discovered this podcast about a month after I decided to finally pull my son from public school. I had known for a long time that public school would eventually not work for us, and I was desperate to find any resource to help in the decision. Not only did I have ten thousand questions about what to expect, but I also needed to hear from other people who had done this to tell myself that what I was doing was okay. (I’ve even shared several of these episodes to my closest friends who continuously challenge my decision to not depend on the public educational institution to prepare my son for the world, although they continue to turn a blind eye.) I have found this to be the best podcast on unschooling as it answers these immediate questions I had as a parent. I love the episodes where she talks to graduated homeschoolers. She covers every ground on the subject of unschooling and I have become so much more confident in our (my son and I) decision to learn this way. I am beyond grateful for this podcast!!!!

I adore this podcast. I love how there is a wide variety of families experiences shared and lots of parents sharing their stories. Pam is a great host. I learn so much each time I listen.

I love listening to everyone experiences and advice. Hoping to hear from black unschoolers/parents. I'd love to hear some experiences and advice a little more linked closely to my culture.

I’ve really been going through exactly these things you spoke of and we’re new at this. I’m so lucky because knows the deal on homeschooling and what he needs so I’m able to shift gears and let him do his thing. He's 13 and has been telling me what’s been happening at school for a couple years and it’s been torture watching him suffering through that. Even though it’s challenging at times we’re so glad we’re doing this!
