Those who follow other faiths may object to the underlying Christian viewpoint of schools, as well as to curriculum and socialization that contradicts their own moral values. Because of its flexibility, home schooling attracts parents who dislike institutional learning. Each parent can design their own curriculum. They can cast aside the underlying assumptions of institutional education. For instance, many mainstream educators assume children need to learn sequentially.
Some home schooling parents disagree.
These parents call their approach unschooling. Although unschooling has many definitions, the general idea is that learning happens naturally when education follows the interests of the child instead of a fixed curriculum. How relaxed the curriculum is varies from unschooler to unschooler. Increasingly, many families decide to home school because of the problems within the public school system. For example, parents feel the lack of individual attention hinders their children from reaching their full potential.
