The Growing Population of Unschoolers

            The Growing Population of "Unschoolers".
             Our public school system has become a controversial issue. There are many options for schooling besides the public school system. Many parents do not agree with the public school system. Therefore, home schooling or "unschooling" has become quite popular. Many people on the other hand do not agree with unschooling. This has become a debate and struggle between those who support and those who fight unschooling. People who are supporting unschooling believe in all the benefits that it shares; higher test scores, closer relationship with your children and the ability to bring religion into the classroom. Unschooling is also an opportunity for students to become more well rounded and have more time for other activities. The people who oppose unschooling fear that it will isolate children and it is not a credible teaching method. Another fear of public school supporters is that they will lose money for each child unschooled. These people who so strongly oppose unschooling often don't understand it. People believe these students are unschooled for the wrong reasons. People believe unschooling means students sit at home and watch television all day. The reasons behind unschooling are far more valid than they are believed to be. .
             People who don't understand unschooling view it as a negative force pulling down our nations education system. When the fact of the matter is that unschoolers do the equivalent if not more school work than traditional schools. They are still tested on their progress and need to provide credible representation of what they have learned. Many unschooling programs provide worksheets and textbooks and are more like a library than a classroom. Students check out textbooks, study the chapters, take a test and return the book. The teacher is available by email throughout the week if they have any questions. Many students in upper grades especially, find this to be a more educational process and it fits their learning pattern better.
