Unschooling Undefined

I enjoyed this article which gives a broad discussion of unschooling--including "bullets" of cons regarding public education. He begins:
Unschooling is a word coined by negating the idea of schooling; it starts off with a negative definition. What, specifically, is it about schools that unschoolers want to do without?

Mr. Anderson continues:
Unfortunately, telling what unschooling isn't doesn't tell what it is. In some ways, all homeschooling is unschooling -- we don't isolate our kids from life, or move at the sound of a bell, or require permission slips, or neglect the individuality of our children. Where unschoolers differ from other homeschoolers is the extent to which we let children be responsible for their own education.

The rest of the article provides a good argument for (and the benefits of) adapting a more relaxed approach to home education.
