Of course there may be some overlap between homeschooling approaches, and sometimes homeschoolers start out with one approach then gradually shift to a different approach. But for the purpose of comparison we will treat each as a separate entity. I list it for contrast purposes. The fourth, Unschooling, contrasts from the others in that it is not a structured approach to learning. Unschoolers do not differentiate education apart from everyday living.
Parents are merely facilitators, or guides, assisting only when asked by the child.
I emphatically disagree with John Holt's fundamental premise of innate ideas, thus I do not regard unschooling as a form of homeschooling. All rights reserved.
