As John Holt would I am sure say: "It is NEVEFR too late" Good luck and become an unschooler at heart. That is what all of us parents had to do: deschool

Good news! My guidance counselor managed to come up with a compromise. I can get out of school and still receive a diploma if I enroll in the Adult Ed. program, which just entails that I complete a simple "packet", as the guidance counselor put it...

Ask yourself honestly, why you can't stick it out (not that I think you should)? Are you trying to make a statement? Are you trying to upset your parents? Are you making a stand in a belief of how pointless the school system is? Maybe you're 18 an...

Hey - How would you like your little brothers to think of you? You may very well be the model they turn to sooner rather than later... Sometimes we just need to take a deep breath and do what we know is right even though alot of other folks say...

It can vary depending on the school, but I found my community college to be VERY different from high school. For one thing, the teachers don't breathe down your neck all the time or try to make you feel bad if you do poorly. They see it as, you're...

Well, I had a talk with my dad today. He was really angry because I was wandering the halls during my classes, so it didn't start out too well. He was called by the school and told that they were "exasperated" (my dad's words) and didn't know what...

Maybe like some courses, maybe similar to AP ones? Depends on what you sign up for? My point is, it could possibly be a better use of your time than high school courses? And it might just be the way to get your parents approval. It also depends o...

What I meant was are the classes like high school classes?

No, it's junior college. A two year degree...an AA (Associates degree).

Is community college like high school?

I graduated at the bottom of my high school class. I went to community college for 2 years, did ok. The 4 year college I went to didn't even look at my hs transcript. I graduated with my BS with honors. When I decided to go, and had a reason for b...

Yours is spot on as well. I have one question, though: what exactly are the benefits of a diploma? I hear the "It'll get you into better schools and you'll end up living off of the streets and smoking crack if you don't get one" kind of stuff, but...

Wow. That was spot on. I'll definitely be using your advice and I'll keep you posted.

How do your parents feel about you quitting school? I'm asking because I'm wondering if it's them that need convincing, it sounds like you already know what you'd like to do?? Maybe your parents need to read the teenage liberation handbook?? Leave...

Profile Information

what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?
It is the philosophical and practical taking back of educational infrastructure from the State by the individual and the family.
how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?
I've been struggling toward my aspirations of becoming an autodidact whilst fettered by the school system. I've never been an unschooler proper; only in spirit.
names and ages of children
N/A. I, however, am 17 years old.
a little about me
I'm a senior in high school. It sucks.

Disregard that. I have taken active measures to free myself from the confines of school and it looks like things might work out.
