Quote

Unschooling rejects the schooling prototype of education and instead values a learning one that looks nothing like school. The unschooling approach to education is noncoercive, meaning that children are not required or expected to learn things the way they are in compulsory schools or school-like settings. Like grown-ups, unschooled children have the freedom to say no. Unschooling dismisses the common accoutrements of school, including adult-imposed curriculum, grade levels, subject silos, age segregation, lesson plans, rewards and punishments, and arbitrary tests and rankings. Unschooling separates schooling from education.
