what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?

Trusting my children to know what's better for themselves than I do. It's a leap of faith and a test of my love for them for this control freak!

how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?

Ever since I dropped out of college. My disdain for spoonfed curriculum of subjects that held zero interest for me fueled my decision to look for alternatives to educating my children.

Maybe next year....when I can plan on volunteering and helping it will lower the cost.
